This song is floating around the internet as a "Rodeo Mash-Up" but it's more like a cover with samples from the original thrown in as MOKB points out. Regardless, it's worth a listen. Lykke Li's echoing vocals match the spaced-out electronic feel that fully takes advantage of Jared Followill's bass slurs. High-pitched synths are sparse but effective, and rhythm changes help crescendo into vocal solos. The drum and bass move the five minute track along quicker than expected at first, which is nice since it garners more than a few listens if you're a Kings fan.
