Elvis remix contest?? -ACID Product Family - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Elvis remix contest?? Posted by: MyST Date:8/7/2002 4:01:56 AM I'm posting this here, cuz I don't really know where else to post it. SF does read these forums, so... I've heard the "new" Elvis song that's out, and I was wondering if SF ever had the idea to have a remix contest for Elvis songs (like Depeche Mode, Madonna, etc)? Judging from the talent of the Acid users over at Acid Planet, it would be interesting to see what spin would be applied to his "classics". A rock-alternative version of Jailhouse Rock? Maybe just updating songs like Big Boss Man (from his 69 comeback special). What's ya think? M
