Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night (Friction Re-edit/re-work)

Some songs stay fresh even after years. Corey Harts 1983 hit "Sunglasses at Night" is such one. Although it's implementing synths and drum machine it never gets taggy like other eighties hits in retrospect (...at least not in the verse - the bridge and the chorus are a bit taggy, Mr. Hart). It must be the simplicity of the track that does it.
This K.I.S.S. approach (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is also key in making a good re-edit, and german producer/DJ Friction knows his KISSes!
His re-edit starts out with a solo Oberheim DMX kick-part that I don't remember from the original. Then filtered synth and a little 808 percussion and we're off! 
The bridge gets a delay-treatment of the "s" in "she's deceiving me", and DJ Friction saves us the embarresement of the original bridge and takes us back to the verse instead. Fabulous!
To top things off, he adds a synth that pushes things a bit forward. (OK, I've got some rules here: "No new melody or elements must be added" -  read up on the rules in the "About This Blog" - but this really fits the track).
A+ Edit!
