There`s even hip hop versions of some of Gentle Giant`s music. Nothing is sacred anymore.

by the way: some time ago I heard an hip hop song based on the initial riff from Ritual by Yes (the one when Jon sings "da da da da da....")....terrible..... Did anyone else hear that? I think it was a shameful rip off...

The scissor sisters recorded a version of comfortably numb on their self titled album that answers the (unasked) question, what if the bee-gees (saturday night fever era) had written it? Worth listening to for the surrealness factor alone. Will disgust many floyd fans, but I appreciated the fact that they at least tried something different as opposed to a note-for-note cover.

I heard a dance version of "Breathe" in our local pub the other night. Took me a while to work out what it was, and I've not got a clue who it was by.

Scissor Sisters definately had something for the Floyd. OK, most of their music to me is poppy nonsense (though I did like their cover of Comfortably Numb Shocked), the last track on the album (4th to last on the UK issue) - called 'Return to Oz' is a remarkable piece of Floyd-inspired prog. In fact I'd urge y'all to try and dig this track out. It really is good even by the standards of this site, and could easily have been written in the Meddle-era of Floyd

Raping? Or rapping? Is there any difference?Tongue

And no, it's not rapped, it's sung in falsetto, which is nice. The 'I' of 'I have become comfortably numb' is sung as 'ah-ha-ha'. Genius Embarrassed
