Matt WilliamsHOST
So we'll start with those two amazing tracks.
Matt WilliamsHOST
Then Moreno J, a big favorite remixer here on Synthpop Symphony, delivers a new remix of A-ha's Take On Me.
Matt WilliamsHOST
What's impressive is how much it respects the original version while extending the arrangement and adding a few tasteful surprises along the way.
Matt WilliamsHOST
After this set, we're gonna get into our first mini mix, including the new Madonna, Tame Impala, and Beshofer's remix of Jerk It Out, which was originally made famous by The Caesars more than twenty years ago.

Cliff PearsonHOST
I've always thought that the art of a good cover version is to do something completely different from the original track.

And that's a prime example.

We're laughing at it 'cause it's funny, but I could see Yankee fans, hardcore Yankee fans, like, going, "I, I gotta switch to music" when they're hearing Junior Caminero go, "The Yankees lose." Like I, like I can't, I gotta go to WCBS-FM, give me some Prince something, I don't care.
