When has the remix ever been better than the original song?

Two Cases:

Something in The Air - David Bowie (American Psycho Remix)
Body Movin' - Beastie Boys (Fatboy Slim Remix)

Any others?

There was an awesome Been Caught Stealin remix but I don't know if it has any kind of disco remix name.

well...I was gonna say New Order's Temptation 87..but that to me sounds more like a re-recording, kind of like River Euphrates from Gigantic single (still both superior ifyou asked me)

see nine inch nails 'closer' EP for a few examples. 'further down the spiral' for more. at least IMHO.

i think the originals hold together as a cohesive album better, but some of the individual remixes found there are fucking great.

The Walk - The Cure.... don't like the album version, but the version off of Mixed Up is great.

Close to Me - The Cure.

In fact, the Cure can be very good at remixes.

I have to agree with you though, in general remixes are shite.

I really like the remix of Gorrillaz's "19-2000" better than the original

The Norman Cook remix of Cornershops Brimful Of Asher (is that right?). No question.

Cornelius did a loungy version of Beck's Mixed Bizness that was really cool.

Rob Zombie's album "American Made Music To Strip By" is entirely remixes of his album "Hellbilly Deluxe", and it's damn good.
