Wednesday WTF: The Man in Black Meets Snoop Dogg

Johnny Cash feat. Snoop Dogg, “I Walk the Line (remix)” (download)

Yes, it’s exactly what it looks like.

No, we don’t know how — or why — it happened.

Discuss.

    Holy Christ! They didn't even attempt to follow the chord progression or even put the remixed parts in the SAME KEY as the original! This makes the stuff The Beatles did to the John Lennon Demos on Anthology seem like the restoration of the Sistine Chapel in comparison!

    Don't ever do that again.

    Excuse me while I go listen to “Sugar Sugar” a dozen times in a row to get that out of my head.

    That's even worse than the remix of “Get Rhythm” that I heard earlier.

  • David_E

    That was so bad, I threw up in somebody else's mouth.

    Wow, at least in the old days, when you got stupid in the studio, you came up with “Draw The Line” or “You Enjoy Myself.” Their best stuff? Of course not, but at least it was listenable.

    Jeff, for the love of God, please cleanse the auditory palate. Post that version of this song that Cash did in German that you had up a few years ago. Now, THAT was cool . . . .

    (or was it lost in the Great Jefitoblog Massacre of ought-seven?)

    Did Cash's early stuff suddenly fall into the public domain, or did someone (label, estate, etc.) actually have to sign off on this shit?

    Forget making the man roll over in his grave; this is bad enough to bring him back to life, to kick SOMEBODY'S ass.
