Mareux - The Perfect Girl (Scythe's Bouncy Techno Edit)

My 100% synth version of the 1984 hit.

Oh well uh, you might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Or maybe you think I'm lucky
To have somethin' to do
But I think that you're wild
Inside me is some child
You might think I'm foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
(You might think) You might think I'm crazy
(All I want) All I want is you
You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile
You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
(You might think) You might think I'm crazy
(All I want) All I want is you
And it was hard, so hard to take (So hard to take)
There's no escape (There's no escape)
Without a scrape (Without a scrape)
But you kept it going, till the sun fell down
You kept it, going
Oh well uh, you might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere, sometimes
When you're curious
I'll be back around
Oh, I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled
You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendezvous
(You might think I'm crazy) You might think I'm crazy
(All I want is you) All I want is you, ah-oo
All I want is you (All I want is you)
All I want is you


You Might Think (Volt12 version) (The Cars cover)

My 100% synth version of the 1978 hit

[Verse 1]
You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise

[Pre-Chorus]
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky, ooh
She'll make you flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips

[Chorus]
Oh, she's my best friend's girl
Well, she's my best friend's girl, girl
But she used to be mine

[Verse 2]
You got your nuclear boots
And your drip-dry glove
Ooh, when you bite your lip
It's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove

[Pre-Chorus]
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky, yeah
I'll make you flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(Here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips

[Chorus]
'Cause she's my best friend's girl
Well, she's my best friend's girl, girl
And she used to be mine
She's so fine

[Verse 3]
Always da-dancing down the street
With your suede blue eye-eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise

[Pre-Chorus]
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(Here she comes again)
Oh, she'll make you flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(Here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips

[Chorus]
'Cause she's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl, -irl, uh-irl
She used to be mine
She's so fine


[Outro]
(My best friend's girlfriend) Oh
(My best friend's girlfriend) She used to be mine
(My best friend's girlfriend) Yeah, yeah
(My best friend's girlfriend) Said she used to be mine
(My best friend's girlfriend) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(My best friend's girlfriend) She used to be mine
(My best friend's girlfriend)
(My best friend's girlfriend)

My Best Friend's Girl (Keytar version) (The Cars cover)

LB -  Be Near Me (ABC cover)

My 100% synth version of the 1980 hit.

All I need is what you've got
All I'll tell is what you're not
All you know is what you hear
I get this way when you come near
Then I know it's gone too far
Ah-oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight
And then you said
With me, it's touch and go
It's touch and go
All I need is you tonight
Flying like a cement kite, yeah
In your headlock on the floor
Who could ever ask for more?
And I know it's gone too far
Ah-oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight
Then you said
With me it's touch and go
Touch and go
All I want is you tonight
I guess that dress does fit you tight, yeah
You know that look does make me shake
It almost looks too good to fake
And I know it's gone too far
Ah-oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight
Then you said
With me it's touch and go
Touch and go
Well, it's touch and go
Touch and go
Well, it's touch and go
Touch and go (touch and go, yeah)
Well, it's touch and go
Touch and go, touch and go
All I need is what you've got

Shake it Up (EV version) (The Cars cover)

Special  (Garbage)

My all-synth version of the 1985 hit. There’s a room where the light won’t find you.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Ozymandias Version) (Tears for Fears cover)

My all-synth version of the 1981 track. I’m the dandy highwayman who you’re too scared to mention.

Stand and Deliver (Proton Channel Version) (Adam and the Ants cover)

My all-synth version of the Captain’s 1982 hit. It went bang, I said shut up. It went bang, I said rap up. Well I’m aware that the guy must do his work, but the piledriver man drove me berserk.

Wot! (Oleic Version) (Captain Sensible cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 track. You want to Diva a deduction you want to do what they do.

Perfect Way (Grav Assist Version) (Scritti Politti cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 track. Hey, it was a challenge I set myself, and I like to do messed-up stuff. Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born...

Sally MacLennane (Distillate Version) (The Pogues cover)

A cover of the Simple Minds track recorded for the movie 'The Breakfast Club'. Released in early 1985, this Brat Pack drama from writer/director John Hughes was a box-office smash and made household names of Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez.

Insect Guide - Don't You (Forget About Me)
