The Sixty Second Song Remix Contest

Excellent idea and genius execution.

WFUM's Beware of the Blog asked its readers to take any song and remix/melt it down to 60 seconds. In my opinion the trick is to not just fast forward the song but actually create a viable song that remains true to the original. The Stairway to Heaven version achieves just that.

Other highlights:
Do you really need to hear any more than this of In a Blob of Velveeta?
Is it necessary to make Blitzkrieg Bop any shorter?
Isn't this the true essence of James Brown?
