Altern-8 vs Scissor Sisters vs Gondry

Posted on November 10th, 2005

After seeing the stop-motion video for the song featuring the Prodigy's retro lyric, I mistakenly thought the lyrical snippet was from an old Altern-8 track. Well, I was wrong. But not a day later I randomly come across the track by Tiga - "You Gonna Want Me" on an MOS Annual 2006 compilation - and whaddya know! This one does use a lyrical bit from an Altern-8 track! I don't think this is just a coincidence. Tiga seems to be on the bleeding edge of several trends, many of them emanating from the UK. Mash-ups. Using rock band vocalists for dance tracks (You Gonna Want Me has the guy from Scissor Sisters crooning on it) and last but not least, sourcing tunes and lyrics from the origins of dance music (late 80s, early 90s acid-house & hardcore) Put this all together, and you end up with weird coincidences like I just experienced. However, if I was really on my game, this all would have been old news. I'm so uncool. The video is pretty interesting though, and is by the brother of Michel Gondry, Oliver 'Twist' Gondry.
