Frankie Crocker Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Depends if you like karaoke. I suppose if you were a six year old and woke up on Christmas day with a Junior DJ deck-kit in your pillow case, this tune might make gran smile after a few sherries... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Kevinkent Posted September 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2015 A pity that this fine example of messing about with an original work relates to 'The Snake' - a tune which, in it's original state, seems to arouse such venom (no pun intended).That aside, as a dancer, what would I think if I heard it played in the main room of a venue? 1 Why is The Snake being played.2 Why has it been messed about with.3. Why is it so long (over 5 min)4. Why is it called the 'Senior Citizens Mix'........six of them have just had heart attacks trying to dance til the end of what they thought was a 2 and 1/2 minute tune.5. Why did I come here6 Why am I still hereYou can abbreviate all of the above to the one word...WHY. As a collector, what would I think if I heard it played in the main room of a venue? You nearly got me there....I almost thought it was a serious question!- Kev 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mellorful Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 If played at a venue I would expecting the bride and groom to be in the room, ladies with hats and posh frocks etc,I would be asking where the soul room was because I've come into the wrong room. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest johnny hart Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Paul Junior,these remixes/alternate takes never improve on the orig issue tune; eg, "It Really Hurts Me girl"etc,all the tom Moulton, lee Jeffries, Ian levine et al. The "Snake" in its new skin? I got Hissed off after the boring extended intro, lol Johnny Senior. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
