I second Jeff’s opinion, the original (no remix or anything) was much much better than the cover done by madcon… that said unlike some other covers of songs, madcon did not ruin the original

… and yes my “name” is a reference to Idiocracy

Thanks for that Jeff, though I was aware of this particular track’s heritage already: try looking at the following on my music website: http://remix.vg/frankie-valli-and-the-four-seasons-beggin-pilooski-remix-142/

The reason for the above post? To point out a track which was coming up last July. This grew to become one of the biggest selling tracks of 2008.

Whether or not you like the idea of using old music in new tracks, you must surely agree that, at least in some instances, its possible to prefer the new version? I like to think of it as breathing new life into an already good song. In this particular instance, it was well enough made.

This song has been around for 41 years — it was recorded by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in 1967. The original is better. There is very little innovation is music this day – just knock-offs of old music.

The “Official Video” has been on YouTube since November 22, 2007 -this probably coincided with the Scandinavian launch – have a look here . That video has been viewed 4,285,233 times at the last count. Hence my comments. Thanks for the info though – I had not realised the song had launched in Scandinavia quite so long ago!

I’m not sure that it’s been out on the internet for that long, the popularity of the song is probably due to the fact that it was relesed here in Scandinavia during the end of December 2007
