What song is made better by playing it faster?
I've recently been going through Youtube playing any song I can remember at 1.25x speed and some of them are just way better that way. A few of my highlights have been:
Africa - Toto
Rockefeller Street - Getter Jaani
Tetris Theme (though this one is kind of cheating)
Rick Astley - Keep Singing at 1.25 speed.
I'm also personally a huge fan of the Nightcore remix genre which is pretty much exactly what you're looking for. One of my favorite Nightcore remixes is Cocaine, compared to the original Nomy version . It's so much better and more fitting, given the subject matter, when amped up to 11 speed IMO. ;)
And on the opposite end of the spectrum:
Dolly Parton - Jolene at 0.75 speed.
Well, I like the idea of speeding them up but the squirrel voices ruin it for me.
This is much better! Thanks.
Ghost by Mystery Skulls sounds much better sped up 1.25x.
Really good suggestion
Take some doom metal songs and speed them up. It works better on traditional and stoner ones because then they sound like old-school heavy metal. It works the other way around— take any decent heavy/speed/thrash metal song and slow it down to doom metal speeds. It's always a fun time.
Also, I found the long-lost time signature to Radiohead's Pyramid Song by speeding it up 2x. It gains a little swing and loses the intentional discordance.
Cotton eye joe?
Did you just repost a comment from the reddit thread or are you the same person?
Breaking Benjamin - Skin, while a tad choppy, sounds pretty damn good at 1.5x speed
Wow yeah this is WAY better sped up
Check out Polyamorous by them at 1.5 as well. It came on when I wasn't paying attention and I was digging it pretty hard
That Thing You Do.
I would go gay for Steve Zahn
I read the title and came to post this.
