Nancy Sinatra

Most of those reading are likely to remember this original song by its place in Kill Bill, conjuring images of blood, gore and awesomeness. Personally, I'll admit that when I started listening, I recognized it instantly but could not tell you who sang it. On the flip side, I know exactly who Nancy Sinatra is. When I put two and two together, I was pleasantly surprised.But there's a more twisted tale than I had anticipated behind the song: it was originally released by Sonny & Cher in 1966. That means that when Nancy Sinatra covered it that same year, she was decades ahead of the rest of the pack. Was she predicting the remix/cover frenzy of the last ten years? Did she anticipate that her song, too, would be dubstep-ified? I reckon the answer is pretty obvious.Now that I've put the puzzle together, I can focus on how fantastic this remix is. The man responsible is 22-year-old Emanuel Bender, who tackles films, pop and hip-hop to create electro/dubstep works with upbeat tempos and dance-floor energy.
