Dunno if these are my "top" five, but they are the ones that came to mind first.

Get Up Clara -- kind of a ska remix.  *shudder*  Actually, I can see
this working really, really well.  It's what prompted this whole
dance-remix idea in the first place.

Fishing -- I can see this as a kind of pop-dance remix, with a slight
techno influence, owing to that heavy bass percussive element in the
"Courier" version.

Spring -- this one's easy.  Light, springy fiddle dance tune.

My Love Will Follow You -- I see this working with a full
trance/techno facelift.  Imagine the melody (without the words), sped
up to about doubletime, maybe a hair faster, and with a heavy bass
drum pulse added.  The eponymous lyric would occur during the cliche
techno climax, accompanied by the amplified rapid-suspended-cymbal
things.

TV Light -- This might work as a slow, countryish dance number.

.............I second that shudder.  In fact, I'm not sure I'm going to be
able to sleep tonight.  <g>  Would Gwen Stefani be singing the ska???

>>>TV Light -- This might work as a slow, countryish dance number.<<<

.............Well, of course I agree here -- I said the same thing.

I really can't imagine a "techno mix" to any RS, song but I believe the
original challenge was to add a mix to make them danceable, plus I like your
Tolkien sig line -- so I'm giving your choices 4 out of 5 arrowheads.
(That's how we rate RS music...)

*Ciao!*

....Carol

I was actually imagining the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones.  It's really too
believable to contemplate for long.  I should stop, because I really like
Get Up Clara, it doesn't deserve this.

4 out of 5 arrowheads, eh?  Thanks!  I seem to have lost one somewhere... ;)
