Amazing album - By: chuckles, 06 Nov 2008 
This album should just not work..... but it does. I had the same feeling when the Scissor Sisters covered one of my all time favourites... Comfortably Numb, I wanted to hate it, but the version was so good I couldn't. The one track I dont like is Pretty Green, but apart from that I loved the originals of these tracks &in some cases I like the covers even more. The highlight (not the obvious Amy Winehouse track) is Stop me, how you can merge the Smiths into 90's dance music, I dont know?..... Mark Ronson does!

How do you get on in music when you have no musical talent? - By: The BigE, 10 Mar 2008 
Answer: Use people who've got some! If there's a better example of how to achieve fame & fortune on the backs of other peoples efforts then I'd be very surprised! This guy plays very average guitar (if it's even plugged in)and lets the 'guest vocalist' with the talent (Amy Winehouse & Lily Allen excepted) & the other (real) musicians carry someone elses song & he gets to put his name to the album & take the credit! My god, how gullible are people to buy this stuff & financially reward this talentless parasite. And yes I am aware that Mr Ronson is involved with the production (before anyone comments) but my main gripe is that he trys to pass himself off as a musician by being on stage rather than shut awayin a mixing booth (or better still shut away completely).
Bargain bin material at Woolworthsin a few months time (let's hope).
Dazzling reinventions of modern classics. - By: Ian Turnedge, 08 Mar 2008 Achingly cool collection of inspired, witty re-interpretations of some old favourites...
I am pretty certain that the inspiration for this album came from one of two sources:
1: Scooby Doo: close your eyes, &in almost any track, you can easily imagine Daphne, Fred, Velma, Shaggy & Scoob doing their funky cartoon dancing ....
2: The soundtrack to a cooler, edgier version of Austin Powers.
It's all a matter of personal taste, but I'd say it is quite an achievement. He even makes Lily Allen sound good.
