Description
I was so impressed with this song that I had to try to do a remix of it ( http://www.macjams.com/song/30783 ). At first I completly transformed the song by cutting a lot of parts and changing the tempo and melody. I decided to simply add to the jam with thicker drums and a few scratches. I tried my best to stay within the same spirit of the original and to simply add a small impression of myself and this is what I've come up with. I hope I did this song justice.

Lyrics
been a long time comin', no doubt, can't wait no longer, give me tiki
I've searched this world throughout for a thing that gets me wild and freaky
to the desert, to the oceans, it's a myth that stalks my head at night
in the limestone, beneath the lava, maybe I'll get lucky, huh?
on every street in every town, standing on a corner, lookin' for a bit of the light
they say, "hey man, get on with your life", but I can't relent the search for neon tiki
in the city, out in the country, in a book or an egg or a voodoo doll
dripping sweet from a poison grapevine or a message on the wall
I'm looking for a neon tiki (you will never find this tiki)
auwe-ah, yes I will
it came to me in a dream, now I find I gotta have it or I think I'm gonna forfeit my mind
in the words of a muse or the eyes of an angel, a tear from a painter's brush
it's the whim and the joy and the glee, it turns my brain to mush
to the racetrack, down in the subway, upon a jet leaving Tuesday night
without a care for the cost or the consequence, I'm there in coach, watching movies in flight
I hate flying
I'm looking for a neon tiki (you will never find this tiki)
auwe-ah, yes I will
I wish I had a way to show you
what it's like, why it's here, where it hangs, what it sees, how it lives
how it breathes, where it grows, how it glows, watch it dance and know why I need it
I've searched this world throughout for a thing that gets me wild and freaky
to the desert, to the oceans, it's a myth that stalks my head at night
in the limestone, beneath the lava, maybe I'll get lucky, huh?
on every street in every town, standing on a corner, lookin' for a bit of the light
they say, "hey man, get on with your life", but I can't relent the search for neon tiki
in the city, out in the country, in a book or an egg or a voodoo doll
dripping sweet from a poison grapevine or a message on the wall
I'm looking for a neon tiki (you will never find this tiki)
auwe-ah, yes I will
it came to me in a dream, now I find I gotta have it or I think I'm gonna forfeit my mind
in the words of a muse or the eyes of an angel, a tear from a painter's brush
it's the whim and the joy and the glee, it turns my brain to mush
to the racetrack, down in the subway, upon a jet leaving Tuesday night
without a care for the cost or the consequence, I'm there in coach, watching movies in flight
I hate flying
I'm looking for a neon tiki (you will never find this tiki)
auwe-ah, yes I will
I wish I had a way to show you
what it's like, why it's here, where it hangs, what it sees, how it lives
how it breathes, where it grows, how it glows, watch it dance and know why I need it

You have totally plussed this song, man - what a great job! And you're doing that live on turntables? Holy Crap - I need to hire you when we do this song live - that is WICKED! Nice choices all around - the guy, "my dreams become reality" - I mean, that got me laughing and smiling - your treatment made the song brand new again, and that is no small feat, it's been around awhile! The digital snare is a little high on the frequency range, it could stand to be tempered a bit. But the bass kicks and other beats you added - damn - super-solid. The scratching and other bits are just awesome. I'm glad you took to this tune and decided to to do this - I'm going to get a huge kick out of playing this version for people. You're a great turntablist and imaginative, with a fantastic spirit. You really did a great job with this track. BIG-ass kudos!
