Mark Ronson/The Smiths - Stop Me

Sequels are sometimes better than originals (e.g. Batman Forever and The Dark Knight, me and my little brother). Remakes are rarely an improvement, but this one is a stonker.

Super-producer Mark Ronson, whose career has been based on recreating the 60's for the post-baby-boomer generation, has drenched this Smiths classic in tambourines and trumpets, and then stuck a massive Supremes sample in the middle, just in case we'd missed his oh-so-unsubtle references to everyone's favourite decade.

That said, it's an ace song (as is that Supremes track). This video is a remake of the original Ronson video - Oh the post-modern lolz!
