That Buck Remix

This is an old remix I did for an awesome group called Surf Team of a song they have called "That Buck." You can listen to the original on their Myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/surfteam They did a sweet remix for the Surfhunter Remix Contest and this is one I did at around the same time. I was bored and they had the stems available so I figured "why not?"

Also, this is a remix where I pretend to be Girl Talk. It is great fun.

Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?j2nd2zmxzjh

The samples I use in it are (in order):

1. Train in Vain by The Clash (it's those drums)
2. When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin (More drums)
3. 20th Century Boy by T. Rex
4. You Know My Name by The Beatles (Amazing, underused piano riff)

Okay, with these two samples I meant for them to complement each other, basically as a phrase saying "It's tricky, but it's alright." I just feel like making sure you know that.
5. It's Tricky by Run-DMC
6. But It's Alright by J.J. Jackson

Also, everyone should go and get this song or buy an album from him.

J.J. Jackson is a national treasure. Just look at him: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/JJ-Jackson.jpg

7. Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones
8. Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Drums again, plus a guitar!)
9. Devil's Haircut by Beck
