That's awesome. I'd buy album with a hip hop version of "Knots."

The Scissor's version of Comfortably Numb is FANTASTIC! I love it, and I wouldn't mind betting that it generated a good few sales from the 'floyd rack in a lot of stores...... the thing with the scissors is that they DO write fantastic songs, this was added to their album as a mark of respect.
And VERY cool it was too! P-C |

Oh my God, and I thought that a pop cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters was bad. Why can't popular musicians make up ANYTHING themselves. Trauma's of the lousy "Owner of a Lonely Heart" are coming back to haunt me... |

When certain musicians advertise, loudly, their affection for hip-hop/rap, I smell an agenda.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! I have absolutely nothing against crossover and I'm anything but a music purist (I love contaminations and weird renditions and reinterpretations of so-called classics) That said, I heard the song you're talking about and I found it rather disappointing: a bunch of pointless noise! |

Interestingly, Wyatt's inclusion of a beautiful version of At Last I Am Free by Chic on Nothing Can Stop Us provoked more controversy in some quarters than his version of the more obviously contentious Stalin Wasn't Stallin'.

There you go.
Not rap, but Robert Wyatt considers many three-minute pop songs absolutely beautiful and Charles Hayward loves Abba.

Oh god, it sounded like "Saturday Night Fever"-era Bee Gees. A pox upon the Scissor Sisters.

The Scissor Sisters' version of Comfortably Numb is one of the best cover versions of recent years - and I didn't notice Gilmour or Waters complaining about it either. Jon Anderson has said that he likes some rap - it seems that prog musicians are a lot more open minded than their fans.

 Actually Specimen 37 are a really excellent band.
 ...But a difficult specimen to categorise.... |

I heard a techno/dance version of Confortably Numb last year. It was really awful.

Raping? Or rapping? Is there any difference?  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  Edited by Notch - May 02 2006 at 12:58 |

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
 ), 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 |

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.
