The original was a nice idea – ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" made into a trip-hop ballad, even if Del Rey is too thin a singer to pull it off. This remix proves you can save anything with the right flavor of disco thwump and a tight freestyle – in this case, from hip-hop comer Azealia Banks, who storms in blazing hotter than Jamaica.

The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
