Colbert Two: Electric Boogaloo

It's official: Stephen Colbert says, "Remixing is OK!" On Wednesday, January 21, 2009, Colbert renewed his remix challenge to his fans by noting that a number of "DJ Jazzy Jerks" were already remixing his interview with Laurence Lessig against his explicit wishes! One of these briefly shown was Eclectic Method's remix:

Eclectic Method - The Colbert Report - Remix feat Lawrence Lessig

Colbert was so "enraged", he produced his own remix, "as a warning to others."

Colbert's Own Remix - Remixing Is Okay!

(Now, on the home page of the Colbert Nation website, there's a banner link to Colbert Remix Page. Accepted forms of upload include avi, dv, mov/qt, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, asf/wmv, flv.)

However, just to be sure we get the point, Stephen insisted:

I do not! Not! Want you to take my interview with Lawrence Lessig and remix it with a pumping k-hole groove! Nor do I want you to remix excerpts from my [audio]book, particulary Chapter 7, entitled, "Homosexuals," which is full of soundbytes that would set fire to any disco dance floor. Like this one: "I am a gay American." Just to make sure my point gets across, let me say it more rhythmically: "I. Don't. Want you to mix my words. In a song. To play. In a club. That will make you grind. Okay? Make. You. Grind."

Shockingly, the geniuses at Eclectic Method have already remixed this warning! What is this world coming to?

Colbert knows what he's doing! Searching for Colbert & remix on YouTube now gets you a whole host of content, and he's soliciting remixes on his site. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. *g*

You know -- I wasn't overly impressed with the remix (that Colbert broadcast on the Report) the first time I saw it; this time around, I was dancing along. The man's got a talented staff, and deserves it. And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch the Lessig interview!

S.C. is such a smarty-pants.

S.C. is such a smarty-pants. I now find him strangely hot. especially after watching the eclectic method remix when the "dance beat" comes in and suddenly Stephen is in the groove, baby!
