Shot Me Down ~ David Guetta

Hiya all you MusicHeads! 

Veronica here to spread my thoughts on David Guetta's Shot me down.
Now when i first heard it i instantly recognized the sample from the original 1966 version by Nancy Sinatra and immediately was weary. Bang Bang was a classic and one of my all time favourites which meant that Mr Guetta was taking a big risk sampling it in one of his dance songs. It has been previously sampled by many DJ's in the past and personally none of them have even come close to pulling it off. As i continued to listen my hopes were lifted as the build up started around 0.42 which really got the heart pumping and sunk nicely into the beat which is a common characteristic of Guetta's music.

As i hit the top of the beats climax at 0.65 sec i was plummeted head first into the strangest, most out of place drop i have come across EVER. It threw me totally off balance, as what seemed to be an adaptation of  Martin Garrix's Animals drop, cut into the music. It seemed like David Guetta just got two completely different songs; both amazing on their own mind you, and smashed them together without creating a link. I was very disappointed, i expected from David Guetta's previous master pieces, something amazing, but no, he butchered a classic like all the other mediocre DJ's. Another disappointing element of the song was its constant repeat of verse, strange drop, same verse again, which is common for dance songs but at least put some variation in there!?!

The only part of the song that worked as a slight link was its "Bang Wee Zap Pow!" but sadly that wasn't enough to save it. In all watching the songs Video Clip did increase its appeal and make a little sense of its juxtaposition, however,  songs are suppose to take you some where from the first moment you hear it, and not growing tolerable after hearing it played 50 times on one radio station. In all there is just so much potential with Nancy's original it's just sad that such a talented DJ Couldn't harness it.
