Oh! it's 'Peace Frog' mashed with something else! NEXT..
Runaways again. Works for me. One of my favourites by them, actually

Ugh. Unnecessary remix vs. THE most obvious Runaways song by miles. And this round was going so well. (Well, sort of...)
B, without much enthusiasm. At least it had a reason to exist, once upon a time. Really, Robbie? Six fucking minutes??

Hey, Ho, Let's Go. This is by far the Runaways most famous song. I SWEAR I've heard it in TV commercials. more power to 'em.
I voted for them already so I won't feel bad voting for A ALL remixes are unnecessary! that's what's so great about 'em!!
I like hearing Jimbo get the JB treatment - his yelps turned to syncopation. shit, if you find a Susan Boyle version of "Peace Frog" then enter it in a cup. I'd probably vote for it.

6 minutes of redundant remix wanking vs. an overexposed Runaways track...Thought "R" would be more fruitful...For at the very least, being a song, Vote B

A's just a bit pointless really. If they were going to go down this route, they should've gone for a proper dance DJ, a Fatboy Slim type, to really slam down the beats, as it is it falls between all sorts of stools satisfying no one. B's probably their one moment of greatness. Never been a personal favourite, but I guess it's a classic of its kind.

once again, i agree with everything G has said.
'war toad' is pointless. whoever chose it would have had more success if they had chosen 'peace frog' despite it being a bcb/preludin chestnut.

I kinda liked A, but B wins by default. Their shining moment.

Well, I don't know anything of the original of A, so I'll have to go with my gut reaction on the overall sound. Which is unfortunate really, as basically it's shit. It feels like a really ham-fisted/lazy/amateurish mix; the beats are rubbish, the scratches and cheap-ass 303 squelch recreation are properly Jive Bunny. Really is poor, how on earth did you find this?
And I already know I hate Cherry Bomb. In my mind it sits along Wings' "Jet" as the joint least exciting attempt at an energetic glam track ever recorded. How did a bunch of girls with guitars end up sounding like an even shitter Mud? A complete clunker of a track, total cack.
Abstaining.

I've always felt Cherry Bomb was as ham-fisted as it gets, but it has no trouble beating the leather pants off of A's nonsense.
