I been wondering about record of elton john featuring engineer scientist on a remake of rocket man remixed as "rocket mon", was it a real collaberation, where could I get it?

somehow I doubt that actually exists...

oh for the love of Dub - that is a YouTube mash-up and quite an ugly and disrespectful one too. Amusing in a comedic way...but come on!
If you like it, find it on YouTube and go in peace!

oh I should have guessed he was talking about some YouTube video... haven't seen that one myself. If I believed everything I saw on YouTube, I'd think Shaka was dropping Ace of Base dubplates and that Baptist churches are actually hardcore jungle raves.

ha, ha.
Anyway, it's not even a good mash up.
But there is no accounting for taste...
I would love to hear someone do a mash up of Captain Beefheart and King Tubby. That would be class meeting class.
No arse!
(an arse like Elton John and Scientist? bloody nonsense!)

Probably, Scientist has some better things to do than mixing batty Elton fatty.

Does anyone know who covered this record?

I recently heard an ace cover of this record alledgedly out of Jamaica (I'm assuming 7") with the label removed, anyone got any ideas?

There is a nice mashup of Liam Gallagher vocals with a Scientist dub.

...mention of Elton John and Liam Gallagher will hopefully be confined to this thread and not spill over and contaminate the other parts of the forum! Next thing someone will brazenly mention Phil Collins (oops!) as if it were an 'OK thing to do'...
