rfmcdonaldThe below fan remix video of Canadian indie rock band Metric's single "Dead Disco" appeals to me, not only for the faintly mournful yet danceable musical Kylie Kills remix but because the video's creator managed to match the song up with a Finnish disco dancing instructional video quite effectively.
I don't know for certain what the song is actually about--"Dead Disco"'s lyrics are, like most Metric lyrics somewhat cryptic--but I'm guessing it's about resignation to the impossibility of radical change or innovation in a world where everything has been done.
Granted that the lyrics are kind of depressing, they don't interfere with the music of with this remix (and the original song, of course). I can easily imagine it to be a good come-down song, the sort that a DJ might play at teh end of a set when the club's about to close down and everyone's tired.

Skip town. slow down
Push it to the east coast
Step down turn around
Push it to the west
Need less, use less
We're asking for too much I guess
Cause all we get is...
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la
