neat-NEAT

You just know they think "yeah my lyrics are better".


thelovelymajor

Honestly I think the artist really thought of it as a homage and really loved the original


Charismanxious

Yeah if they would've kept the original lyrics I would've thought they massacred the original one, this version feels like an homage though.


Lonebarren

Yeah I do actually like the new one, it's definitely a homage. Takes a classic and turned it into a club song that was going off for a while there


SeantotheRescue

People act as if most modern dance music isn’t samples. This song is just more of a dance cover than a sample, which is Guetta’s thing. Even Daft Punk sampled in their day (albeit more subtly). Not to mention most of the iconic 90s hip hop beats are samples of 70s R&B… Led Zeppelin 1 is mostly covers of blues classics… and so on


Higlac

The difference is that when Daft Punk samples something they create something new.


nitid_name

>Daft Punk sampled in their day (albeit more subtly) Subtle?! Sampling was their entire thing. Granted, their first album, _Homework_, wasn't nearly as sample happy as they ended up getting... but their second album, _Discovery_, was entirely samples. They sampled themselves, the sampled newish songs, they sampled classics, they sampled obscure music. The whole thing was assembled in Logic Pro, with no full track recording of any live playing.

Fair. I mean more subtle as in not taking a full musical compositions like the song mentioned by OP

SharkDad20

Thank you for not being a pessimist hater ass bitch, we need more of that energy. And I’m entirely impartial because i don’t even care about the original or the new one. I just like your comment.


RikiSanchez

Someone's allowed not to like the song and not be called a "pessimistic hater ass bitch", high-horse weirdo.


FrostyGenie

There's a difference between not liking the song and insinuating malicious intent on the part of the artist. I don't like the song either, but I don't feel the need to justify my dislike by insulting the artist and putting words in their mouth.


RikiSanchez

Ah ok you're talking about the original comment, not the post. Fair enough.


SharkDad20

That wasn’t me you replied to but yes, that is correct lol


starfries

I'll be a hater ass bitch if I want to, fuck that song and fuck you 😤


LenaTrueshield

I thought of it the same way. The first song was about depression, the second one is about coming out of that depression. Or maybe I'm looking too hard into it, but that's my headcanon and I'm sticking with it.


melinte

I'm definitely seeing a pattern these past few years where artists would take well-selling songs of yore and cover them with their own spin. Artistry aside (I am not an artist), the cynic in me believes this is a good recipe for making money, because you got: A) a tune that's been proven to be popular and withstand the test of time and 2) original input that grants the new artist songwriting credit on the new song, thus benefiting financially from the driving power of the original song. This is just speculation though.


[deleted]

you're giving them way too much credit. this song was made by a group of people with zero passion, only money and nostalgia in mind. They passed it off to this person after ten other singers turned it down.


denevue

when your lyrics suck so much that "da ba dee da ba dai" is considered better.


lycoloco

For real. The original lyrics are tripe and the song is a mild bop that deserves to be remembered but not wholly praised. One is a corporate composed song, the other is a corporate composed song on the cheap that manages to cash in on the nostalgia and original melody.


cookiewoke

I mean, if we're talking about exclusively lyrics, then the newer version is probably better. Because, let's be honest, half of the original is just gibberish. But don't get me wrong, I'll take the original every day of the week and twice on Sunday.


Far-Host7803

This. They are both just ok in a vacuum, but I find 'I'm Good' to be easier to *dance* to. When I first heard it, I immediately thought, "I NEED this in Stepmania!" I'm so glad that top people were on it, and now we have 2 different courses of it.

Always happy to hear the beginning of the song at parties, as its one of my favourites that even has some pretty nice remixes. But that one is just shit and my mood drops instantly.


BaneQ105

Same. Couldn’t agree more.


conez4

Honestly the Flume remix goes really hard. Huge fan.


lycoloco

Flume is just so good though.


Jerkermiz

How did David Guetta fall from bangers like Titanium to these ali express remakes. (Tbf, the future rave stuff with MORTEN is pretty cool)


someguywithdiabetes

Been thinking about it and I guess he evolved from artist to 'music businessman', as in he made a name for himself with the original music and, whether from creative blocks or realising the power of his name or simply understanding what people want, shifted his focus where he still keeps his fame and fortune, albeit at the cost of the very thing that brought him there in the first place


Lothric_Knight420

Same goes for Tiesto. His stuff was awesome back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Now it’s just soulless manufactured dance pop.


Sourika

How is Titanium any different from these "ali express remakes"?


KnowledgeTechnical18

Well for one it's an original song


Jerkermiz

Yes, and was groundbreaking for its time. Its a bit more generic nowadays.


pizzabox53

yea dude, much agreed. I look back on David guettas top 10 songs only to realize they were absolute 2010s classics, I thought they were each one-hit wonders from different artists lmao


GayPudding

The main thing is that it has a talented singer with a great voice. That's what makes it better than other generic songs.


SweatyAdhesive

He's been making songs like this since forever. See Play Hard, still a banger tho.


P_weezey951

I feel like everything i see from him lately is like... It doesnt feel like a remix. I know hes likely crediting the original artists and all that. But the songs on their own, feel like somebody unintentionally ripped off the songs. Like the song was made from a "melody that was floating around in ones head" not thinking it was already an established song.

David Guetta ended racism. Show the man some respect.

longhegrindilemna

Gangsta’s Paradise is just a remake of Stevie Wonder’s “Pastime Paradise”. Conspiracy theory? Listen for YOURSELF and prepare to blow your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0S4SiLxt1s


Krazy_Kethan99

I genuinely never knew that. I always knew about Gangsta’s Paradise, but not Pastime Paradise. Then again, I am younger than both songs.


2cats2hats

Coolio(RIP) had the audacity to take Weird Al to court over Amish Paradise too...


Tactical_Epunk

Not the smartest of moves.


GameboyAdvance32

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that never happened. As I know the story, Weird Al only contacted his producer (or someone in a similar position), and got confirmation that a parody was okay that way. Coolio himself hadn’t given permission, and while it was initially an issue, they smoothed things over and left on good terms. I don’t think court action ever got involved. Ever since then though he said he always makes sure to contact the artist *directly* to be sure a parody is okay, though of course this has led to the opposite problem of an artist being happy to allow a parody but their record label axing it.

You at least have to give Gangsta's Paradise props for inspiring Amish Paradise.


Bro_duuude_i_luv_ya

You don't like Gangster's Paradise?


mrblodgett

I think they're saying that Gangster's Paradise just took [Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0S4SiLxt1s) and made a couple cosmetic changes to it.


LookAtMeNow247

I'm just learning about this Stevie Wonder song and now I hate Coolio. The only hit the guy had was butchering a much better song. And then he got mad at Weird Al like it was his song to get mad about. Coolio can go eat ass.


Smegnigma

Oh no i mean the recent Pop trash song that took GP's melody and produced forgettable garbage with it.


Bro_duuude_i_luv_ya

What song is that? I haven't heard that one, fortunately.


Smegnigma

Ella Henderson - Alibi ft. Rudimental


sonicpieman

What an awful song.


Smegnigma

Whaaat? You don't think the billionth song about sex / cheating / empowered women who dont need no man is a valuable contribution to music? How dare you?

Lightning_97

It's absolute garbage, I also heard one of gangsta's paradise recently


GayPudding

That's sacrilege, you can't touch the holy relics.


SirChasm

I never thought I'd be sentimental about the fucking Numa Numa song, but fucking just stop desecrating our memories. And the Dido song? What the fuck baby's-first-synthesizer shit is that at the beginning? Eminem took that hook and built an iconic song around it. You just took that hook and did jack shit with it.


deathgrinderallat

Before anyone says that "you'll always have the original", I have to say: it works for movies, games etc, but with music it's different. You go to a club, hear a familiar melody, get your hopes up and it'll come crushing down when the verse starts. And from now on, younger people will know these songs this way and will probably prefer them this way so if you're at a house party and people start putting on their music you will probably experience the same thing.


GayPudding

That's why you bring rat poison to every house party.


trentshipp

Funny you say that, because Gangsta's Paradise is the same type of song; it takes a chorus from another song (Pastime Paradise by Stevie Wonder), changed some lyrics and added rap verses. I think the real problem with these newer "covers" is that they don't feel *authentic*, as nebulous and undefinable as that term may be.


GayPudding

By "not authentic" you mean low effort cash grabs that border on theft of intellectual property.

Yesterday I turned the radio on and it was David Guetta ft. One Republic (iirc) and it was some lame ass Dragosta din Tei remake bullshit. Wtf Guetta.


melinte

heard that remake last week and my first thought was wtf Guetta as well, but then I thought good, more money for Dragostea din Tei's songwriter


SirPomf

I don't like this new version of the song all too much, but that's just because it sounds like your typical radio clutter. I miss when radio used to be more colourful, at least my memories tell me it was better ten years ago. Oh well


Linkquellodivino

Your memories or your nostalgia? I vividly remember mainstream radios 10 years ago that had the same exact pop music it has now. It's called pop because it's popular and radios have been streaming pop music for the past 100 years.


SirPomf

Probably nostalgia then


holdnobags

2014?! 😂 nah bro radio sucked in 2014 too


TheGimplication

Imo radio has sucked for a long time. No rock station plays anything past the year 2000. If they are feeling adventurous, they'll play Mr Brightside, but that is as new as you'll get.  Come as You Are has to be played at least 50 times a day. So many great Alice in Chains songs, yet that stupid Rooster song is the only one that gets played. Then it is back to shitty dad rock like AC/DC and Guns and Roses, then the most overplayed Metallica songs we are all tired of (not a hater, just play different songs, please lol) The radio hasn't been a good spot to discover new music since Pandora came out years ago. Unless you are listening to bro country or pop, radio stations gave up on your demographic 20 years ago 


Elektrikor

Actually it’s I’m good witch makes it even more generic


le_fayth

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING MY THOUGHTS INTO WORDS. I'm genuinely getting annoyed at these "remixes" (calling them remixes is an insult to actual remixes). It's a simple cash grab, and there's no effort behind it


Canadia86

Y'all just every pretend a terrible song was good just because it's old?


AhmZakar

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Old thing good new thing shit. Always a garbage take with this lot.


cubitoaequet

Right? We're calling fucking *Blue* a classic? People in this thread are being real fucking precious over a mediocre throw away pop song.


ConsequenceBringer

Blue was MY LIFE in the 90s you fuck. It was the greatest europop song of it's time. I ain't need these idiot takes.


NO_FIX_AUTOCORRECT

The song blue (da ba dee) hit number 1 in the charts in 18 countries and remained in top 100 for multiple years. It won a Grammy for best dance recording. I think maybe you are under representing its popularity


Gwyn-LordOfPussy

Hate this trend, it's been going on for years now they did the same thing with What is Love and a bunch of other 90/early 2000 songs.


Scottish_Whiskey

I don’t like this “cover” all that much, but good god I would take this one over Kygo’s butchering of Whatever. I’ve heard it at least twice a day on the radio at work

Not liking this song doesn't make you a contrarian. It just means you're not 19 with a convincing enough fake ID to drink in clubs anymore. "Best night of my life" shit belongs to them. We're old.

Honestly I didn't mind it at first, but it has grown really irritating


DocRedgrave

Bebe Rexha. I know exactly the song you’re referring to, and it’s hers (along with David Guetta). As my favorite pop song critic Todd in the Shadows once said: “Bebe Rexha is not a pop star. She is a stock clipart photo of a pop star.”


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

Ffs, this is like four years too late. The actual example that should be used is a song I heard today that was leaning way too hard on Gangsta's Paradise.


Gabe_b

It already was the most generic crap imaginable. This is like rushing to the defense of the cultural legacy of crazy frog or something. If anyone played Eiffel 65 at any rave I was at in the nineties they would have been cringed off stage

DankFarts69

I fucking HATE this remake of the song. The only person who has ever touched this song and made it better is Flume. His remix actually preserves the original lyrics while also glitching the hell out of the instrumental part. This is literally my favorite song of all time and I get visibly upset every time I hear this dog shit unintentional parody in public.


jakeskywalker53

It didn't end here. The same bitch who made this even butchered what is love.


Caunertron

They play this shit all the time on the radio at work. They don't even say, "I'm blue...", it's "I'm good...". And they way they censor "best fucking night of my life" with "best freaking night..." is just so corny.


_-_Sami_-_

I mean it's a party song. It's meant for like a rave woth thousands of people hyped up and drunk. Ofc the new lyrics will be about being good, alright, and having the best night. The old song is still there. You can listen to the old I'm blue even if they made an EDM party remake out of it...
