The results are in on the Real World Remixed competition to remix Peter Gabriel’s “Shock The Monkey,” and we’re loving the winning entry. The honors go to Multiman’s “Simian Surprise” Remix, which can (and should) be heard here. The guy nailed it. Head here to listen to the rest of the top ten (and watch Peter discuss the top entrants).
And for the budding mash-up artists out there, here’s “Shock The Monkey,” sans backing tracks. (Worth a download if only to hear how fucking awesome Gabriel sounds a cappella, even if he does get “fed up” with the sound of his own voice.) If you end up with a worthy mash-up, send it to us!
You know how much we love Genesis. And even though Peter won’t be joining ‘em, we’re psyched for the Phil Collins-led reunion tour. They’ll travel the world, they’ll make millions, and they’ll make your fathers very, very happy.

why screw with an original that is already perfect? it is like that crappy remake of Psycho they did a few years back with Vince Vaughan
There’s a Genesis cover band called The Musical Box. They recreate all of the Gabriel-era tours. It’s pretty amazing stuff.
Prog-tastic!
Seriously though, I do like this remix. Pretty inventive.
I love this remix – if I didn’t know better, I’d think this was an actual PG alternate version. Conversely, I was actually quite stunned at the shittiness of the other finalists.
Does anyone know what the BPM of this is?
