Captain Obvious and Instamatic go head to head in bloody dancefloor battle with this mashup – taking CO’s Party Groove combining Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO with Madonna’s Into the Groove from way back in June (see below!) and polishing it Instamatic style for a brand new dancetastic coating. And it gets a video!
New video for my Scissor Sisters vs FGTH mash ‘The Light of Pleasure’ – I’ll save you the bumf about how and why, apart from it features one of my favourite directors, Kenneth Anger and some Len Lye influenced jiggery-pokery from Instamatic…which is also me! Confusing this multiple alias lark…
Captain Obvious has taken Avril Lasagne sorry Lavigne’s “What the Hell’ and inspired by that organ part has added 100% new Ravril, the Pop Extract that Gives You Rave!
Ingredients:
SL2 – On a Ragga Tip (E101, E303, E-e-e)
Avril Lavigne – What the Hell (organic, slightly tofu flavoured)
Tongue in cheek (Silly, stupid and oh so obvious, but fun!)
Serving suggestion: on discerning dancefloors everywhere.
Third act: Our hero Captain Obvious travels to Ancient Greece and Babylon in search of Dionysus, Apollo, Silenus and Bacchus for a Bacchanal and to Xanadu where did Kublai Khan a pleasure dome erect (trans: a right royal knees up).
OK it’s not as pretentious as it sounds, but then again not many bootlegs contain quotations from Nietzsche’s Birth of Tragedy, Coleridge’s Kubla Khan, Dionysus, Babylon, Geoffrey Palmer AND Ian McKellen? Actually it’s a party record containing the new Scissor Sisters track ‘Invisible Light’ which is obviously a rip of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘Welcome to the Pleasuredome’ – even down to the speaky bit. So I’ve reunited them via the Thomas Shumacher and Fruitness mixes of FGTH, and the Siriusmo and original mixes of Invisible Light in two parts.
First is the shorter radio* mix without the intros, slightly different structure at 4:40 – enter stage left the Silenus in Shorts mix:
And the finale is my homage to the ZTT production team and their long extended DJ mixes I grew up with, usually including quotations (hence the Birth of Tragedy from the Fruitness mix – but both songs mention Dionysus/Bacchus too interestingly) so this at 7:33 is the Dionysus vs Apollo full length DJ mix.
* if I ever got played on radio that is…hurrumph. Actually the first Captain Obvious track was played on German radio on Mash Up Your Boots radio – thanks Dr Waumaui / Morgoth!
Another slice of cheesy rather obvious dancefloor fun from Captain Obvious – this time inspired by DJ Schmolli’s excellent Joan Jett vs Crookers ft Yelle mashup, I’d not heard the Crookers track before and immediately thought Laura Branigan’s hand-punching classic ‘Self Control’.
So here it is – not exactly genre-defining, full of cheese du guilt and probably not that original. I’d store it behind the breadbin and only get it out secretly on Sundays if I were you.
Oh I hope you like the artwork, again by the legendary JCBF Productions – last seen on those classic compilation cassettes in the early 90′s, they’ve come out of retirement just for the ol’ Cap’n.
New mashup, new alias – totally obvious, the most cheesy mashup I’ve done as inspired by FAROFF’s Dead or Alive vs Lady Gaga ‘Telephone’ mash, this is Right Round by Flo Rida ft Ke$ha vs Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ – so completely obvious and surprised no-one has done it before (maybe they have?) hence Captain Obvious.
EDIT: I’ve tweaked this with advice from the wonderful Voicedude so it’s even better and less clashy in the choruses so please redownload this version…aint close-harmonied chorus/autotune a bitch?
