OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

omoroca:
I know this has been remixed 1000 times already, but I like this approach, especially the excessive piano use. I don't consider the notes at 0:44 wrong, it's just a different interpretation.
LaLa:
Certainly happy and clappy, a great idea, but the execution is lacking the necessary punch and refined mixing.
WizardOz:
Happy sound, but something is missing…
migu:
Quite ordinary, adds nothing new to the original and doesn't sound well finished either. Still OK.
klosterkatten:
Piano was pretty good, not much else to say.
infamous:
Its a little on the twee side this, but non offensive. There could have been alot more put into this as it stands though… Its alright.
Dan:
Not bad not bad, but lacks any type of imagination with it and is very overshadowed by Chronbloms version
Tas:
Good effort of a sid often covered very poorly and unimaginitively. This version has a good stab at it which unfortunately is still not yet covered glouriously. Better than much of the rest mind.
prowler:
Poor instruments and lack of ideas…
romeo_knight:
Boring. Wrong notes at 0:44 also. (They do not sound wrong but are different from the original without adding depth to the composition. They even sound more generic. So they're wrong indeed.)
condor:
At first I thought it was midi. Lifeless.
Cubud:
Not my cup of tea at all. Piano is nice for the lead, but not for the left hand too, can't stand the choir instrument either. Thanks for writing something I hate for a change 😀
eliot:
Noway, the drums do not fit… Don't hear wrong notes, only an adaption 😉
