The genius of Bill's work lies in the way that if you had neither heard either song before, this would be your idea of how the song _should_ sound. Because it sounds so completely authentic.

[@joelbrooks3198]

It kicks ass

[@thewindowguy43]

This is true

[@therealSonnyForelli]

But who hasn't listened to both songs?

[@MrGnuifje]

Given the Foo Fighters' exploits as the Dee Gees, this idea is less far fetched than it seems

[@vicinvesta8349]

But..... If you know these songs and what a clash of culture they represent....it makes it so much more delicious. "Fire in the sky, YEAH"

[@williamjoshualucas6503]

I have said to people for YEARS that "Smoke on the Water" is a secret disco song. If only I had this mashup to show them. Great job!

[@davestang5454]

The genius of "Smoke On The Water" is that it follows very simple chord progressions that become quickly addictive to follow, like a commercial jingle. So many of the most popular songs in history were simple songs to follow.

Amazing how nostalgia and lowered levels of testosterone (ha!) can open up an older man's perspective!

[@TheWyldesidewithEricClark]

@@JLajos It also doesn't help that we have our past to compare with the present and the present has been churning out formulaic garbage for at least the past 20 years I've worked in music radio. I've seen a very sharp decline and had many, many conversations about it over bong hits. Once all the bigger labels swallowed up the little indie ones, the level of creative freedom lowered because fewer managers were handling more bands which breeds an environment where efficiency is a higher goal than quality of product. No one takes risks and that's what is missing. True Avant Gard not some poser corporatized version of it. Sorry for the rant.
