Last night, I was thinking about some examples of dance tracks that after
becomign successful in the 'undergound' were added English lyrics to
make them more pallatable to mainstream audiences. I came uo with three
examples of really cool dance tracks which were turned into pieces of crap
just by adding inane raps and lyrics: Li'l Louie's 'French Kiss,' 2
Unlimited's 'Get ready for this,' and Los del Rio vs. Fangoria's
'Macarena'!
