Amazing Doo Wop Rendition of “Can’t Stop” by Miley Cirus Sans TwerkingAbsolutely LOVE these cross-genre remixes by the Scott Bradlee and the Postmodern Jukebox. Check out there Irish Waltz version of Get Lucky by Daft Punk (Get Lucky – Vintage Irish Tenor Daft Punk Cover).I just saw The Great Gatsby recently and was appalled by the use of Jay-Z music in a 1920s setting. I would’ve been totally ok with remixed versions of modern pop songs like this.Check out Scott’s blog: [www.postmodernjukebox.com/Listen](http://www.postmodernjukebox.com/Listen) to Scott on NPR’s All Things Considered: [www.npr.org/2013/09/1…](http://www.npr.org/2013/09/13/222080454/a-vintage-filter-on-todays-top-40http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/3kpC)
