    I actually liked "I See You Baby" when it first came out...I guess the
    overexposure made it cheesy (once you hear your favorite dance track played
    regularly in a sporting event, it's all over... :)) I never liked the
    Fatboy Slim remix though (which was the more popular version here in the US
    for some reason).

    Yeah, the line between what's synthesized, what's performed live and what's
    sampled is kinda blurred...
