Retro DJ & rollerskater from Vancouver Canada. Been DJing for over 30 years...don't consider myself much of a 'creator' but occasionally I make some of my own remixes / re-edits which I sometimes post here.
No, but it was inspired by Club House's cover! I liked it so much that I decided to somewhat re-create it but with the real songs instead of cover artists :)
What an Awesome mix. Fantastic. (FYI-“Steely Dan’s “Di it Again” was the very first “45” I ever bought on my own. 99 cent @ Sam Goodie. (I was 11 or 12). Now 50+ years on, when I hear the CLASSIC I think to myself: “Self, u were a sophisticated music lover for such a young lad!”
You know. I told someone that there was a song out quite a few years ago that combined Steely Dan and Michael Jackson and she thought I was either crazy or had a dream. My proof. 😅😅😅
Haha yes indeed! The main one that had chart success was back in 1984 and done by an Italian act called Club House (using session singers though of course!)
Thank you, appreciate it! I wanted to take the best parts of the dub and the extended dance version and make a much better structured mix (with a consistent tempo!)
Fly away bird Sail across the sky oh What you're seeing is hard to believe As you watch the world go by Fly away bird I know you can fly so high oh Got to get away And I know the reason why A good thing's today But don't think about tomorrow Life is a journey We're only passing through You can't run away cuz all you will feel is sorrow We gotta make a better place We can see it through Fly bird Fly high Spread your wings and go for a long ride Fly bird Fly high You and me can soar to a new high Gonna make a better place Give you more than you ever had Here's a little bit of sunshine To clear up the rain Fly away bird I still can hear you cry Oh Now you're fearing that the end is near and we'll have to say goodbye Fly away bird I don't wanna hear no lies Oh Tell me what you see Just open up your eyes They're taking the land Then spill oil in the ocean Dammed up the rivers Poisoned the air we breathe What can withstand to put all the plans in motion It's time to think of Earth first And what it needs Fly bird Fly high Spread your wings and go for a long ride Fly bird Fly high You and me can soar to a new high Are you gonna come back Will I see you next summer time With a little bit of help We can lesson the pain Fly bird Fly high Ahhhh Fly bird Fly high Gonna make a better place Give you more than you ever had Here's a little bit of sunshine To clear up the rain Fly bird Fly high Spread your wings we'll go for a long ride Fly bird Fly high Watch the world go by Fly bird Fly high Sail up to the sky Fly bird Fly high Spread your wings we'll go for a long ride Fly bird Fly high Spread your wings and go for a long ride Fly bird Fly high I can still hear you cry Fly bird Fly high Spread your wings and go for a long ride Fly bird Fly high We'll make a better place Reprise: We gotta turn around To see what is going down
I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain You were holding hands and I'll never be the same Tossing and turning another sleepless night The rain crashes against my window pane Jumped into my car--didn't drive too far That moment I knew I would never be the same Cause I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain You were holding hands and I'll never be the same Now here you are begging to me To give our love another try Girl I love you and I always will But darling right now I've got to say goodbye Cause I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain You were holding hands and I'll never be the same I saw you (and him) walking in the rain You were holding hands and I'll never be the same Hey, hey, baby, how you doin', come on in here Got some hot chocolate on the stove waitin' for ya Listen, first things first, let me hang up that coat Yeah, 'n' how's your day today, did ya miss me? Oh, you did, yeah, I missed you, too I missed you so much I followed you today That's right Now close your mouth Cause you cold busted That's right, now sit down here Sit down here So upset with you I don't know what to do 'n' my first impulse was to run up on you And do a Rambo Whip out the jammy and flat-blast both of you But I ain't wanna mess up this thirty-seve hundred dollar lynx coat So instead, I chilled That's right, chilled, then I went to the bank Took out every dime And then I went and canceled all those credit cards Yeah All your charge accounts Yeah I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought you Yeah That's right, everything Everything Did fool out with me Naw, don't go, you ever go, don't go looking in that closet Cause you ain't got nothing in there Everything you came here with-- Is packe dup and waiting for you in the guest room That's right, what was you thinking about, huh? What were you tryin' to prove, huh? You's with the Juice 'n' I gave you silk suits, Gucci handbags, blue diamonds I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce Now I can't give you nothin' but advice Cause you're still young That's right, you're still young I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this You know? Gonna find someone like me one of these days Until then, know what you gotta do? You gotta get on outta here with that Alley-cat-coat wearin' Hush-puppy-shoe-wearing' Crumb cake I saw you with Cause you dismissed That's right, silly rabbit Tricks are made for kids, don't you know that? You without me: like cornflake without the milk It's my world--you just a squirrel, tryin' to get a nut Now get on outta here Ah! Don't touch that coat!
Thanks man! Unlike pretty much everyone else, I always preferred Julian Mendelsohn's "Sisa Mix" over Shep's mix of this song...mostly cause I loved the LP version so much and Julian's mix most closely resembled a proper 'extended album' mix. However, it was missing some vocals and some (IMHO) key instruments that were present on the LP...so I made this edit using both versions, in order to restore those parts. Enjoy! (before it gets blocked!!)
