They Always Get It

Teengirl Fantasy “Cheaters”

“Cheaters” is built around the a cappella track of the Love Committee’s “Cheaters Never Win” to such an extent that it’s probably more accurately considered to be a remix than an entirely new song. Teengirl Fantasy use pretty much the entire vocal, but they completely alter the tone of the piece, stripping away the cheeriness of the original tune and placing a far greater emphasis on the drama of the lyrics. Contrasted with a steady, emotionally neutral house track, the vocals take on a hysterical, frenzied quality. It’s a simple hot/cold dynamic, but it has a poetic quality, as though you’re slowly fading out of a numb state and coming back to an intense reality that seems a bit too absurd to be true.
