"Jolene" and other records that sound great when played at the wrong speed

Meanwhile, Fatboy Slim often remixes and speeds song up - which transforms them into something even better. Probably not the same ratio of what is on the record player, but the tempo is definitely faster, and sometimes the vocals up-shifted.

Two examples I can think of where the Fatboy Slim version has elevated the song to a new level are Jungle Brothers - Because I Got it Like That, and Cornershop - Brimful of Asha. Two songs I will always always crank up. Brimful of Asha always elicits pure joy.

This one almost works better if you up the play back speed on youtube.
