(Forgot which remix set me off on this one. Probably went overboard, but I really hated the new version.)
The horror that you made
Thinking you have skill
With an ear made all of tin
All I hear is noise
Tearing at my ears
A shrieking mutation
Of a piece I claimed to love
Drowned in a synthetic beat
Born of a drunken chimp
Vomiting on a keyboard
There was nothing wrong
With the work you chose to rape
Did you ever hear the song?
Before adding your own twist
Like a murderer stabbing slow
I hear the familiar words
Fighting against your viral beat
Seeking their old form
Take a lesson from your betters
And leave their songs alone
Legends of Windemere 
Ha, I have felt about some remixes like this, problem being I tend to work hard to forget the bad ones. There are some that are good, where the artists build on the song itself and change things artfully. There is the third, in my opinion absurd section of simply “versions”, ranging from nightcore to chipmunks to gregorian chanting choir, and I cannot say I am a fan of those.
For the poem itself, its worded strongly, but I would not say that is bad – your strong emotions of dislike are felt and are interwoven with objectivity.

I’ve heard some pretty bad ones that I’ve blocked from my memory. Chipmunks seem to be everywhere even these days. I think I’ve accepted them as a permanent staple of reality.

Chipmunks get on my nerves too. And nightcore is a nightmare!’

If a remix is done well it can give a song new life, but I’ll admit there are some bad ones around. I’d love to know which one inspired your poem!

I really can’t remember. Probably for the best.

Like Annabelle, I’ve heard some great remixes. But with so many people who can readily purchase software, there were bound to be some ghastly ones. This is not to excuse them, of course. I feel the same way about rebooted movie franchises that turn out horribly.

Good point. It’s pretty easy for people to get software to remix songs. Totally agree about movie reboots.

I agree, Charles. There are a lot of bad remixes around. I can’t listen to them.
