I Want Those Flashing Lights    02.07.2008  


I’m not saying it’s better than the original, I’m just saying I can’t stop playing it. I’m talking about the Colin Munroe remix to “Flashing Lights”, “I Want Those Flashing Lights.” As with most undeniably crazy songs that are released, everybody and their mama wants to add their two-cents to it, spit a couple bars, single a couple of verses and call it a remix. Canadian artist Colin Munroe flipped the script, and his version is the one that’s currently got the internet going nuts. Munroe added an electric guitar, ad-libs that transformed the hook, lyrics from the opposite side of the fame spectrum and in turn gave the song a whole new meaning - all the while retaining its soulful essence. Yep, it’s a banger. Don’t get it twisted though, even though I’ve been gushing about the song’s sickness for the past 100 some odd words, I’m not insinuating that it’s better than Kanye’s version, I’m just saying “Those Flashing Lights” is bringing the heat too.
