Just listened to it - it's fuckin' brilliant !!!!

Originally posted by Allen Jarvis Shame Kylie is such a midget. Give me her Big/Younger Sis any day. Much better developed.Anyhoo, didn't Cathy Dennis write "Can't Get You Out Of My Mind?". A truly British eccentric, for anyone who saw her on Buzzcocks a few weeks back. Absolutely barking! Nice one..

Saw Dannii Minotaur on the Tube the other week....RAF in real life ! It's all make-up !

Did you noticed how she had a special dance for the song - pure class that girl

That remix kicked ass!!! I hope someone has a high quality version of it somewhere.

OK, having not seen the video but having heard the RealAudio clip twice now, I have to say (Locomotion trauma aside) that this was a brilliant move. Whoever came up with the idea of integrating Blue Monday is a genius, at least for one day. Don't hang the DJ in this case.

Sure, it's a crime against New Order and humanity...but hell -- who wouldn't want to make an entrance to the huge, skullcrushing kick drum of death that is Blue Monday? Beats the hell out of playing the radio single everyone (except me) has heard 15 million times.

Now I can only await the barnyard-flavored followup, "Can't Get Ewe Out of My Head."

Dedicated to...

I'm sure Gilles is turning in his grave to see his boy trolling around in a fecking BAR. "No. Mr Dennis, I wouldn't like to drive your McLaren, I'm going to join a team that are really going places". Makes me mad to see talent wasted.Anyway, back to Kylie. It rocked. Nice pants, too.

Right I know this ain't like me but I thought it was a fuckin wikkid version..honestly, even had me doing a little jig in my bedroom. I liked the little 'how does it feel' homage at the end as well. She may be a irritating midget but she has good taste in bootlegs.

Shugsy to answer your question, still no. Up to the neck area she's great, but her face is minging.

I thought it was f****** Top. It was a pure perfect blend. She looked gorgeous and that song still sounds as vital as it did way back in 1983.

i've not heard it yet and i don't think i particularly want to. though it might be an improvement on the crap excuse for a song that was can't get you out of my head. and you can't bloody get it out of your head - it goes on and on and on...

I loved it, especially the little dance.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE???

This is Kylie "Charlene" Minogue covering New Order and you guys UNANIMOUSLY love it???

The ghost of Mr Curtis has now been completely exorcised.

I'd better take a listen.

:\pimp2:

Well I've seen Kylie twice and she's puts on an awesome show. I think the BM/CGYOOMH mix was a stroke of genius and didn't do either her or New Order any harm. I'm sure it'll probably pop up on some Kylie CD single eventually and I for one will get it. I think the mixing and blending of musical styles is what it's all about and people should be open to such cross-over ideas. Remember Kylie's collaboration with the Manics? That was ok as well. Maybe New Order will cover a song similar to Kylies? I do have a tape of them playing in Bradford where Bernard introduces BM with "Right, this one's called 99 Red Balloons". I remember reading in Smash Hits at the time that New Order were seriously going to do a version of that but it was too complex for them to figure it out. Sorry off at a tangent there.

Surely you taketh the pith.

Feck feck feck

What the girl has done is NOT a cover version !

It is just both songs sound similar (I never said they were identical), they just sound similar as far as the melody is concerned. That is all.

She just found it funny to mix it with Blue Monday. That is an hommage to Blue Monday. Nice hommage, I don't know, depends on who finds it nice or not.

That is all.

N21

Homage, tribute, cover, mix, whatever.

The association is the disturbing element.

:\pimp2:

Actually Kylie said herself on the radio today (both www.capitalfm.com & Radio 1) that she IS releasing this New Order version on her next CD single due out in May as a B-side as a tribute to New Order :)

Its crap... kylie Minge Hog has ruined that song!! I don't care how big her tits are its a fucking travesty!

I honestly don't think anyone can ruin that Brilliant song ... she did an ACE job I think. Plus I think it will create a new interest in New Order and cause younger fans to take an interest if for no other reason than just pure curiosity. This is a Win Win situation for both Kylie & New Order. This is really a good thing. If you bitch and moan about it then that is your choice as I don't see it as a bad thing at all. :)

Agreed. All she took is the backing track and sung her song over it. And I think it worked. And hopefully in the future I'll be dancing pissed in some crap pub to the new '...out of my head' rather than the original

What next? atomic kitten cover transmission???

I have to say, I thought it was pretty cool, but then again, I do have a soft spot for Kylie :) Watching it with my mates last night though, we began to get a bit ridiculous, inventing scenarios where Barney would come on and make it a Kyles & Jase style duet, with Hooky storming the stage in the same silver leotard her dancers were wearing :D We've all got over active imaginations.....

Anyway, I reckon Kylie went a bit OTT on the Botox before the show - her face looked as though she'd pulled her skin back with bulldog clips.....

Oh yeah, and Dannii is awful - like Jonathan Ross said, she's got a chip on her shoulder and its called Kylie :D

Originally posted by Seb Briggs Agreed. All she took is the backing track and sung her song over it. And I think it worked.

I don't agree. Not at all. Well I agree it worked, but I don't agree she sung the lyrics to her song over Blue Monday. I think Blue Monday was more of an accompanying background. The rest is all of the original, with the melody slightly altered to match a bit of Blue Monday.

I think actually it was a good move. I am pleased to see someone who sells records by millions to people of every age making a tribute to New Order.

Whatever her musical past might be (I find it crap, very crap, except Too Far remixed by The Brothers In Rhythm which is Kylie at her finest, give it a try, it's one of the most claustrophobic stuff I ever heard, and it is very good), I think the track is good, that's pop, whatever will happen in the future weeks (ie we'll all be forgetting the song of course, that is what pop is for) but hey, it's great to see that you can merge a pop tune which has success with that good ol' Blue Monday. Wasn't the track commercial poppy stuff at that time ?

Bah anyway. Both songs are SIMILAR musically and as far as the melody is concerned. That is why maybe they mixed both.

Also : disturbing element, whatever : Kylie took a chance on musical "credibility", and it didn't work. Sorry guys, but you wanted her to move a bit, and it didn't work since she got slammed for changing styles. Now she does the pop stuff again (which i don't like much) but she gets slammed again... Bah. The music I don't condamn, it's more of an attitude towards what people like. Now boys bands ? Yeah they're shite. They're manipulated, and they're marketing. Kylie's not. Kylie's been there for ages.

That is all.

Originally posted by Spotnick Anyone looking like THIS should have the right to cover Blue Monday... :D

you see i could not agree more and its not a bad use of the sample i loved the song originally and now its even better

Well my memory of the 1980s is a bit hazy and I'll never get into the attic to get the mag out. I suspect they were joking when they said it, but I do recall it being said. And I do have an mp3 of Barney's "99 Red Balloons..." remark so it's possible.

That would sound great!
