If there's one hot thing to do this President's Day Weekend, it's cover Beyoncé and Jay Z's sizzling Beyoncé single "Drunk In Love." Over the past three days alone, Kanye West, Diplo and The Weeknd have given the marital bliss track a bit of a remix facelift, so let's go through these one by one.
First, Kanye West joined his famous friends for a musical ménage a trois on Valentine's Day (Friday, Feb. 14) with an official "Drunk In Love" remix. As he proved he was apt to do on Yeezus, West got sexually explicit during his musical turn, which is featured heavily at the beginning of the track.
"After all that money you earned, still show daddy what you've learned / That cowgirl, you reversed that cowgirl / You reversed, you reversed and I impregnated your mouth, girl / That's when I knew you can be my spouse girl / We f*** all over that house, girl / We just messed up a brand new couch girl," West raps before making some references to his Kim Kardashian-featuring "Bound 2" music video. Guess West has never heard the phrase "TMI," because eww...
Next up, super producer Diplo put his spin on "Drunk In Love," fittingly titled "Drunk N Luv." The simplistic remix features stereotypical EDM influences, from a beat drop leading into the chorus, remixed and repeated vocals and plenty of thump-thumping for the clubs.
The final remix of the weekend comes courtesy of, well. The Weeknd. More of a cover than a remix (in the technical sense), Abel Tesfaye gives the song his signature dose of falsetto vocals, giving "Drunk In Love" some heightened emotions. He also plays really loose with the track's lyrics, instead opting for his own tale of sexual conquest.
