Remixer Notes
I know, I know, what is it with all these here remixes in a row? What am I turnin into? Loveshadow or somethin? Nah, It's just that my bidness has been in the toilet lately and Mrs. Riley has been occupied the last few weekends and so I was able to circle the bases fer ya and git shut of a few ideas I had rollin around in my little pea brain. Plus I had to keep my promise ta tell all of ya what ol Pete done at the post session party at Jimmy's (which you'll have ta read over in the forum. . . yea it's worth it). As you'll be able ta hear we was all in fine form, which is to say drunk as cootie brown. All over-playin and slingin so many clams you'da thought you was in a fish market or somethin. Ol Mongo held everthang together tho. Gawd bless his little pea pickin head. And Angelique (I swear if she wadn't less than half my age plus seven Mrs. Riley would have somethin ta worry about) was, as always, so gracious and so talented it made ever moment fun. And ol Pete too, even considerin what he did and then did agin, was a total hoot. At one point, just before we played the last song a the evenin (Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On") he yelled out (course he was completely gassed by then and. . .well. . .ya got to read the rest over in the forum) "my name's Sir Smythington Smythe and ya'll (yea, he said ya'll) can kiss my ring or somethin". I tell ya the crowd at Jimmy's ate ol Pete up with a spoon. But anyways, here it is warts an all. Live and alive at Jimmy V's. Ya shoulda been there. Honest.
Technical Information
Strong drink. Smoke. Hormone ridden night clubbers. And a disregard for safety or the sanctity of melody or harmony. Just raw unadulterated passion and stupidity. Hot damn.

grand 
doghousestyle ! five points .
Masterful! Treatment of the voices is amazing! Very entertaining.
Alright - here's one where my appreciation for the quality of the work, the originality of the idea, and just the outstanding execution take precedence over the very minor issue that this just isn't my type of music. :)
You're one hell of a musician, and this is a really, really good version. 5/5 from me.
High five man.
Hey the got a baand. A right Royal row, Royal being da operative woid.
Little drum breaks wicked, nice geetar, could've done wiv a bigger brass section, belting out every now and a then, absolutely spiffing old chap.

Really great stuff & ideas!
--
«raw unadulterated passion»
yeah, I can understand a little more your point.
«stupidity»
well, (un)fortunatly for now, I can't see.
My brother was in a band like this once, but they weren't this good. And they didn't have any celebs in it either. You're a lucky man Doghouse. Great, just great.
What a party! I would have liked a lot to be with you all!!!
you snuck ole Pete saying your name in there at the end, didn't ya? So that video snippet from the STM contest announcement may have been the best prize of all.
Another all around tour-de-force from you - humor, skill and intelligence all wrapped into a great package. Your bank account's loss is our gain!
p.s. I'm partial to Joe Cocker's take on that Randy Newman song
?Mang wot is it? the water out der gota ya in a frenzy er somedangtang.5 and an atomic coketail on me
Great
Some people claim they can see GOD.
Might be more revealing to listen to DOG, ay?
ta ta ta
ta ta taaaa ta
five star from Baba
I like old style and new ideas
Great, I like it a lot-lot-lot lot-lot-loooot-lot
Totally great song. Way to go Mr. Doghouse Riley! Already had to listen to this three times right away. Like the chords, harmony and upbeat sound!!!
Thanks, ol pals. I really mean it. Ya'll are great. But listen now, it has come to ol Doghouse's attention that one a them full yard squats I been gettin came from none other than Doll. . .er. . .Mrs. Riley. So ifn ya need to deduct thatn go right ahead. I told her not to, but hell, she's got a mind of her own. (And, yea, they call her Dollhouse around here. . .what the heck do ya want me to do about it?)
17 ratings, 5 stars average (!) and only No.4 on this weeks Top-20? RWR, How does this work?
Wail. doghouse! You should let me know before uploading these tracks as I have a weak heart. I could only listen to yours today and I wish I could listen to it before to give you a 6! Unfortunately, today I can only give you a 5. and. ehm ![:-]](smilies/embarrased.gif)
tomorrow I am going to sell my guitar, then I'll shave my head and buy an orange tunic. What else can I do after listening to those fantastic guitars???
You keep amazing me ol pal. What kind of jamshow is commin next? perhaps your rehearsing right now with ol Pete's band for his upcomming summershows. Ever been to europe before? well I quess less gin but plenty of beer peace and interesting puppies.
Please keep us informed and happy playing Mr Riley.
Great remix once again.
The vocals, the vocals, the treatment, the vocals,
Wow! Woof! Wowffff!!!
Think I am going to have to spread the word of DOGHOUSE!
A 5 Star of course
Sim1457
5 it is.
Another great, funny mix! Not to mention the usual musical/technical skill.
5 Woofs!
Thanks so much to all the regulars. Yor a grand bunch a guys and gals and I'm very very proud ya even let me be part a this here community. Sincerely. But, I tell ya what, it's purty funny that the mammas-boy-non-comment-leavin-shitheels still thank that these ratins mean anything at all. So in the interest of fairness and commraderie and with the knowledge that as a "senior" member of this peer group I have a distinct responsibility to mentor and educate those who are just learning the ropes and trying to come to terms with what it means to both be a member of this community and to gain the respect and friendship of those who work everyday to both maintain this site and fill it with creative ideas I say: COME AHEAD ME BROTHER! ZERO ME DOWN TA NOTHIN IFN YA GOT THE BALLS! THIS HERE CONTEST IS OVER YOU NUMBNUTS!! DO YOR WORST YOU SCUM SUCKIN IGNORAMUSES!!! I IMPLORE YA! HONEST!!! A course, I say that with love.
ps: As ol L-D might say: I love this place!
Really cool version and pulled off well.
Great approach which is loaded with the
spirit of fun. Cool!!
A Funky 5/5
Well I can see(hear) that you had a lot of fun doing this great and outstanding track. And that´s probably the main and most important thing: to have fun making music and to share the pleasure of doing this. You demonstrated this on here ith all of your unique personality I think. Thanks for that!
5*****
Wow, i just tried to do a live mix somewhere else.
if I listened to this first I wouldnt a bothered.
Just great, really well played and great sound adding my little 5
Totally unexpected,
more then a remix!
As above, If I heard this before I had a go I might have given it a miss.
Nice ending too.
You're a genius !!!!!
Let's go back to Venus !!!!!- - - -- !
Yeah, that was fun. I can dig it!
YOU OL' DOG YOU LOL.VERY VERY VERY VERY VERRRYYYY NICE!!! YEPP THIS HAS GOT TO WIN THE COMPETITION, COZ IT'S GONNA TAKE ALOT TO BEAT THIS.WELL DONE ON A FANTASTIC REMIX.
This turned my brain inside out. . . which is fine; my brain was inside out to begin with.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, this is perfect.
5 martinis from me (and two spare for Angelique and Pete)
Right to my favorites again Doghouse
Aint no Dog like a Road Dog huh? Sounds like some good classic Roadhouse boggie to me - My wife even loved it!
And believe me when I tell - Thems big props
At the risk of being (*cough*) controversial, imho this has crossed that thin line that separates "remix" from "brand new composition", ie it basically sounds like you already had this tune knocking about and you could have grafted any old vocal over it. When there's not even a semblance of the original melody left, then surely it's no longer a remix?? Or maybe I'm just being old fashioned.
All power to your engineering and Melodyne skills though.
Old fashioned? Heck no there, Deaconesque, just knuckleheaded. First, I ain't never said I was no "remixer". And second, yor 100% right. And third, what in the wide-wide-world-a-sports does that have ta do with any dang thang? Fer yer information (and if you'll listen real close with yor brain instead a yor ass, unless, a course, they are one and the same) you'll see that I stayed as close as I could to the original melody and still make it fit my ol magnum opus. Not that that matters either. Unless and until RW puts up some kinda public, easily understood rules and regs or whatnot then, as ol Pete might say, STAND BACK!! Cause creativity knows no bounds. . .at least where I come from. I ain't got the foggiest idea what it's like over in Prigville. Perhaps you could enlighten us, ol pal. And I say that with love. Honest.
WOW
Not fluent in english, so I won't pretend to grasp every subtlety of what's written above.
But your work is amazing. And funny. I felt compelled to give a rating, for the first time.
Keep it up.
Lol!
Highly enjoyable work!
Well, the site's called "Realworld ***Remixed**", maybe there's a clue.
Gee, ya thank? Ya know, I never thought a that there, Deaconesque. And I guess I still won't. Cause that there is nothin but semantics (that's a new word I just learned, pardon me while I use it). Unfortunately, "rehashed" is all too often more like it. But listen, I ain't got no quarrel with ya. Hell, yor entitled to yor opinion of any of us just like we are a you. And you sound like such a fun ol feller. . .I bet yor the life of the party, ain't ya? So have it any way ya like it, ol pal. Sorry my ol magnum opuses don't tickle yor fancy (or yor apparent missin funnybone) but I know I cain't please everbody.Lord Gawd Almighty who'd want to!?? So go on with yor bad self, Deaconesque. But if I could mention one final irony that has just struck me. You know yor name is indicative a yor personality. Is that why ya picked it?
you got it
Well Mr Doghouse, we're all entitled to our opinions, I have to say I tend to agree with Mr Deaconesque, and I have more respect for him for not getting personal, gives him the moral high ground in my book. One question though, what part of the United States do you hail from? Milton Keynes? Swansea? Just wondering.
Heck there, dubrobots, you ain't got ta call me "Mr." Jes plain Doghouse is fine by me. And yea, how can ya not have more respect for anyone else on planet earth than ol moi? That would be mooncalfish at best and just plain dumb at worst. Hell, it might even get ya arrested in several states over here in the bad (formerly good)ol USofA. As to where I hail from it's here in the foothills where the Ozark mountains meet the great Ouachita forest ifn that helps ya at all. I ain't got the foggiest notion where Milton Keynes or Swansea is. Now Swannee or 56 or Greasy Corner even Bald Knob, them I got a good bead on and could take ya to ifn ya wanted for some inane reason ta go. Plus it's great ta know that ol Deaconesque's got a pal. Everbody needs a pal. But I bet that even tho ya'll are takin the "high road", I'll still get to Kilarney before ye.
Simply perfect. Absolutely fantastic. Incredible. I'm still shocked. That's really smashing.
Fantastic execution and that piano solo. GOD! Fantastic.
I know. I repeat myself. But it is really WOOOOOOF fantastic!!!!
50/5 from my, my friend. You are one of the very best here. All, but really all, my deep respect.
Marco.
IIRC (and I DO recall correctly ), a certain "STM" once suggested that this whole thing might just be one great big *experiment*. Whether he/she knows this for certain or not is open to debate, but one thing we do know is that Doghouse's (and several others) remixes are very thoughtfully arranged and are good entertainment - regardless of anyone's definition of "remix."
As has already been pointed out, there are NO RULES. And nobody likes to have someone else's opinion of what is or what isn't a "proper" remix foisted upon them. Like it - don't like it - it's all good.
And Doghouse, if I'm ever in the Swansea Keynes area of the Ozarks, we're closing Jimmy's!
i am well aware that me rating your remixes is worlds away from you rating mine - you're a genius, that's obvious!
anyway. one of the very best on this site. you clearly should have won.
puh. recording equipment for sale . . .
Deacon - Was it a bit compositional? Yes, but he used the material given, within the rules of the site, and the point was humor. It's really up to the RWR, who listen to every song and make the decision if it meets their specifications before allowing it to be seen or heard on the site. They don't let just anything up (though it seems like it sometimes with some of the silly :30 things that went up a while back). I know this first hand because they didn't accept something I did with MusicJunkie and Loveshadow that was all strings.
This is darn funny stuff! And there are a lot of good musical things going on in this song, and Riley's other funny, musical jibes. You've got to get a better feel for what Doghouse Riley's shtick is before condemning him. He has this ongoing bit of fiction about him jamming with "ol Pete" and loves to make light of everything! I don't know about you, but I need a good laugh and a bit of joy (or Joi) lately. In fact, if you look at the winners from the Shock the Monkey contest, you'll see that Peter picked one of Doghouse's remixes, and it too had a comical edge to it. Sure, everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion. Mine is: Lighten up. :) Have a bit of fun here. If you get too serious about these remixes and contests you're not going to have any fun, and are apt to just be hugely disappointed in the process and outcome. It's happened before here. :)
Incredible thing, once more.
This has to be one of THE most original remixes I've ever heard!
Unfortunately this rating system only goes up to five stars.
WOW.Great work!Man,talk about flipping a song.Woof!
Love it. It's a remix in my book if it's got even a smidgeon of the original in it. This is classy and a hell of a lot of fun
Too much fun! Awesome, Doghouse!
Funny and interesting,
Well what can I say the rest of the guys have´nt not much I´m afraid so I´ll just go back vacumcleaning the house cus my father in law´s coming for a bite tomorrow. F-king great remix man like allways. I´ll be waiting for the next one don´t let it take toooooo long though.
