Duck Sauce remix of Hot Mess

Sibling rivalry is as old as time itself. Since that fateful day Cain slew Abel, brother has been pitted against brother for glory, girls, and recognition from Dad. Normally, sibling rivalry produces stuff like the deletion of your brother's save file on Zelda: Ocarina of Time or La Toya Jackson's solo albums, but it is not so for the Brothers Macklovitch. You see, elder brother David and younger brother Alain, better known as Dave-1 of Chromeo and A-Trak, respectively, recognize that their bond as brothers and common ground as musicians exceeds petty rivalries. Duck Sauce, A-Trak's partnership with Armand van Helden, has remixed Chromeo's song Hot Mess off of last year's album Business Casual, with the resulting jam being a powerful reminder of the greatness that comes from bros bein' bros to their bros. Also, its their first remix as Duck Sauce.

The song employs the voice of Ellie Jackson -- the singing, dancing, pretty-looking half of La Roux. Imagine, if you will, a Batman movie with Ms. Jackson starring as Robin, trying to solve the murder of her lover Batman. She looks exactly like Frank Miller imagined her in The Dark Knight Returns.

I mean, is that perfect or what?

As for the rest of the cast, Dave 1 creeps us out as a sweet talking Joker, and A-Trak's scratching abilities means he gets to keep his leather jackets as the ebon-clad gender-flipped Cat Man. Armand Van Helden would be perfect as the elegant immortal Ra's al Ghul and P-Thugg is Two-Face, with the deformed half of his grisly visage permanently grimacing on a talkbox tube. The Duck Sauce duck is retrofitted to be the Penguin. Robin's motorcycle is a TRON lightcycle, and Gotham itself has the neon slums of 1997's Batman and Robin explode and highlight the gargoyle skyline of 1992's Batman Returns. Duck Sauce's remix of of Chromeo's "Hot Mess" is the end credits to this movie.

Oh, and on the movie's pinball machine, this song plays on repeat. I think the brothers should actually make a real pinball machine just based on this hypothetical film. That way, if they ever get tired of collaborating on their awesome music, they can go back to the good ol' days of playing against each other for the high score in a video game.
