Neptunes tweak the Stones
Go do yourself a favor and dig up a copy of the Neptunes remix of the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil. Tasty. Also, check out the video.

Yeah, the video's entertaining--MTV Europe plays it in semi-heavy rotation. I was amazed to hear how little they actually changed the song, (discovering it on my rarely-played copy of Forty Licks), but impressively how much it took on the Neptunes sound. Those slightly-off-beat sparse drums really do it. Interesting...
Giving a song to the neptunes is kind of like giving it to a really amazing tune-up shop, the kind you had to beat the phone number of out of a friend. I have a list of songs that I want to take to Pharrell and Chad's shop to get the springs tightened and the nuts loosened.
Top of the list might be an odd choice, but it keeps popping up there: "Peekaboo" by siouxsie and the banshees.
Any other nepTune-up suggestions?
loved the song - my favorite version of the song!
Can I ask if anyone can help me though?
Who is the actor who plays the 'devil' it is really bugging me!!
