Song of the Week- Special Re-Do and Remix Edition

It’s hot. It’s the middle of the week. So we bring you temporary relief with Matt & Kim’s “Daylight.” It may ride that fine line of cute, cheesy, and poppy but damnit it makes us feel good. And in honor of that here’s a couple re-do’s and remixes.

First a stop motion video remake shot in Tokyo-

And our favorite remix from the Common Folk homies, NinjaSonik (wait for the surprise ending)-

“Tastes like chicken even though it’s not”

And of course, the original and the De La Soul Remix-

Favorite lyric,
“slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates”

Not an “official” video but the photo montage is pretty dope-

Song of the Week – De La Soul Held Down

I could probably do a whole year of De La Soul songs, but I’m going with “Held Down” as it was off of AOI:Bionix which a lot of people probably slept on and it features Cee Lo when he was “that guy from Goodie Mob” before his Gnarls Barkley fame.

Warning contains the lyrics:
And when I'm watchin the news, and my daughter walks in and chose to ask, "Why were all those people on the floor sleepin, covered in red?" I told her that they were lookin for God, but found religion instead
