    I absolutely love the visual presentation of this.

    This “Miles Davis” asshole better not try to make any money off this unauthorized adaptation. 

    When will these moochers learn to respect original artists’ rights? Do you think it’s cheap to keep LCD Soundsystem in LCD soundsystems?!

    Bravo!

    Cool!  Just wondering if anyone has independently confirmed that this is wasn’t edited in anyway.  It almost seems too perfect a fit.

      You can try it yourself, it’s all there on the video. I think it’s the fact that Kermit is doing the singing that makes it perfect IMHO :).

       Just tried it. Works like a charm.

    meh, “Dark Side of the Wizard of OZ” effect? it works, except when it doesn’t. :)  good find, though!

      It’s not just Floyd & The Wiz that works. Viz. Thomas the Tank Engine (mixes with most ANYTHING) vs Biggie Smalls. One of my personal favourites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJpP7ZId-mc

         Damn, that’s even better than the 50 cent one.

    Hate to be that guy but there IS editing. He chose to start the Miles Davis clip 32 secs into the LCD song.
    He also skips back in the miles davis clip to match with the end of the LCD soundsystem song.
    And all throughout he’s fudging with the volume on both of them.
    “Dark side of the wizard of oz” effect aside, this clip works BECAUSE of all the tricks and editing.
