“Overclocked Remix”:http:\/\/www.ocremix.org<\/a>, a site specializing in arrangements and remixes of video game music, absolutely blew away the rest of this years’ “April Fools’ Day joke field”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/April_1,_2007.<\/a>
\nThe site today released a “soundtrack featuring 18 remixes”:http:\/\/icecap.ocremix.org\/<\/a> –mixes of perhaps the single most clich\u00e9d song in the vgremix world: Ice Cap Zone from Sonic 3.
\nhttp:\/\/www.ocremix.org\/remix\/OCR00691\/<\/a> of djpretzel's (subtly enough, entitled \"Love Hurts\") with Ice Cap awkwardly overlaid on it. Another \"gem\":pixietricks features a ridiculous a capella rendition of the artist singing her name and the song's name repeatedly--to the tune of Ice Cap.\nThe rest of the humor stems from the hundreds of site members who have \"not yet realized this is a joke\":http:\/\/www.ocremix.org\/forums\/showthread.php?t=8732,<\/a> including remixers who have \"threatened to quit\":http:\/\/www.ocremix.org\/forums\/showthread.php?t=8734&page=4<\/a> the site over the poor quality of the collection.
