Interestingly enough, They Might Be Giants is the EXACT reason I have spelled the word "sexxy" for the past 11 years. Nice work on DJP's part.

Thanks for the kind words and promotion!

This is slick. Really tight groove going on, good funk factor. Mustin doesn't disappoint. This definitely belongs on a "chill playlist."

Great chill song, but doesn't do it for me in terms of arrangement. All the elements that made the original so great are gone, replaced by a completely different song that slightly follows the originals bassline. In terms of production it's good, I would have taken care to keep the low mids of the guitars under control, but otherwise good. But the arrangement doesn't meet the 50/50 rule OCR seems to hold so dear.

Nah, the original is used more than half the time: melody, countermelody and bassline.

:39-1:13 - bassline
1:14.5-1:32 - melody, bassline
1:32-1:49 - melody, bassline, countermelody
1:49-1:57 - bassline
2:34-2:51 - bassline, countermelody
2:51-3:08 - melody, bassline
3:09-3:26 - countermelody
3:26-3:36 - liberal melody
3:40-3:46 - liberal melody

There was also the very light sustained string in the background, starting at 1:14, mimicking the sustained string in the original.

The irony of Mustin getting this criticism after he's done it to other tracks here isn't lost on me.

Not every judge adheres to the 50/50 thing. I sure didn't. Yeah, yeah, offtopic.

I had to back and listen to the original for this one. I'm not all that familiar with Sagat's music, but having reviews both the mix and the source material, I love what you've done here Mustin. It is, like everyone says, extremely funky. A solid mix, and in my top five "Songs I could listen to for hours on repeat without killing someone". Good Job.
