I really love Disco Dust. It's a great way to find new, free music. Anyway, they had a post about Eli Escobar that featured a remix of Stevie Nicks's song "Stand Back":

Listening to it, I thought: "I've heard this song before, but where?" I searched in iTunes for "Stand Back" and found that I had a song from a few years ago by Linus Loves:

Same song, two Stevie Nicks remixes. I wonder what the original sounds like? Interesting that you should ask:

So, what have we learned here?

  1. A good synthesizer line trumps everything (even bad choreography and parachute pants).
  2. Based on the end of this song, even Stevie Nicks didn't know why this song is great.
  3. Translation is a funny thing. I like how both remixes essentially just recast the synthesizers.
  4. Stevie Nicks was really good looking in the 80s.
