Ok, so I guess I'm still doing this. I dunno if I should stop...
Anyway, today I'm back to Caravan Palace. I just love their songs too much. This time, it's a remix of quite an old song, Black Betty. An electroswing-y song that keeps a pretty regular rhythm and is a lot less crazy than the originals, this song is quite old, but the first credited artist was the band Ram Jam. It was then remixed by a few others, notably Spiderbait. Still, I quite prefer the Caravan Palace version.

Lyrics:
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
