I don't like. It might work as a song by Justin Timberlake, or possibly Madonna. I don't think it sounds like DD. I didn't like Skin Divers to begin with, so I'm probably not a good judge.

Remixes are the DJ's creations, it's what they envision the song to sound like what they think and their idea is for it. There are thousands of DJ's and producers that use different parts of the song, it's not set in stone that you HAVE to use the vocals or parts of this lyric, or this and that.
That's what the beauty of remixes are, you never know what you are going to get. It's a fun remix, I'd like to know who is rapping tho, I thought it was Dizzie Rascal but his voice is to young. People seem to forget all the other remixes that were waaaay more House/etc than this. (Arthur Baker, Paul Oakfold, the Latin Racsals..etc) Well at least in my opinion. And some read way to much into on remix of a song. Christ It's not horrible and I highly doubt its going to save them on this album, it's far to late in the game for this album.

I hate it! I'll stick with the original. Big waste of money... if they paid for that crap remix!

Well, given that this remix was very likely the absolute last shot 'Red Carpet Massacre' had to make ANY impact on the music scene - and also given how much Duran Duran was counting on said album to resurrect their careers - one can understand why so much would be read into this remix.
It's subjective of course, but to my ears it's a total botch. The only mercy is that after today it'll be gone and no one will ever hear it again.

What I hated about it was there's no "LYRICS" to it . . . just one line of the chorus over and over for 3 friggin' minutes . . . it would NOT want me to go out and hear the original.
If there was a grade BELOW "F", I'd give it!

There is a remix of Skin Divers? I'll post my opinion once I get my hands on a copy of the remix single.

quick question... when was this track held up to be a reworking that was going to be actually released at some point? I know the guys mentioned the remix in interviews, but unless I missed it, I never really got the impression that it was going to be a huge source of promotion for the album and band (which might explain a lot of fans' disappointment in it, as they were expecting something that was verse-chorus-verse, no rapping and maybe a significant rock influence).
