STIL comment	"Thing On A Spring was actually something I wrote to test my first driver." "TOAS never had it. So the middle section has nothing to do with the tune (bad). The 3rd section also has nothing to do with the tune but just fitted the tempo and feel so well...." (RH)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

mfe:
I don't mind the re-interpretation of the melody line so much; sometimes breaking away from the original can be a good thing in order to leave room for originality and still be recognisable. But rubbish vocal samples and poor moments of mixing… No.
LaLa:
Nice mix, but the melody line is missing several - IMHO, important - notes which breaks up its flow.
Razmo:
You have the idear right for a bouncing dance version, and it could easily have scored an orange smiley, if you just listened to the original and got the lead melody 100% right… This SID has a very catchy lead melody, so it's darn important you nail it
gary:
You've got the timing wrong on the main melody that is repeated through most of the song. It doesn't do the original SID justice.
