Speedy Techno Remake

A song remade into a fast Techno version. Could be a remix, which uses most of the actual recording, or a rearrangement, which is a whole new recording which incorporates the lyrics or tune of the song, but adds in a lot more.

Could be any kind of song, even Gregorian chants if someone felt like it. Many of the songs in the Dance Dance Revolution games are these kinds of remakes, since "speedy" also means "harder" most of the time.

Note that if only part of a song is used in a speedy techno song, that's just Sampling.

Alternative Rock

 * ADAM feat. Amy - "Zombie", Eurodance cover of the Cranberries song and before that Ororo made a happy hardcore version
 * "74-75" by The Connels was covered as a rave anthem by Hands On Bell.
 * The Verve - "Bittersweet Symphony (trance remix)". Not technically speedy, but much faster than the original.
 * Discotronic and Tevin made a hard trance cover of Savage Garden's "To The Moon and Back".

Classical

 * Dj Tiesto's version of Barber's "Adagio for Strings". Doesn't seem speedy until you realize the original plays at half the tempo.
 * Before that, there was the Ferry Corsten remix of William Orbit's version.
 * A more speedy version is K-Complex "Adagio".
 * Also, Albinoni/Giazotto's "Adagio in G Minor" was remixed by Above & Beyond, as well as Tiesto.
 * "Carmina Burana", remixed by Apotheosis/Excalibur.
 * "Speed over Beethoven" by Rose (not to be confused with the Eurobeat artist) is a happy hardcore rendition of "Fur Elise". "Can't You Feel My Love" by the same artist is based on the "Presto Agitato" movement of the Moonlight Sonata.
 * Trance versions of the "Canon", "Ave Maria" and "Air on the G string" by Angels.
 * Mars - "Pachelbel 8000" (remake of Pachelbel's Canon in D)
 * And his remix of the Jungle Brothers' "Ital Stew", as "Ital Step".
 * Pachelbel's Canon is a very popular candidate for remixes. Here's one by Ban Ya (Canon D: Part of The Memories) that appears in Pump It Up. It's not as sped up, but it's still an awesome remake. In fact, it seems that the Koreans are very fond of this trope with classical music- At least a quarter of Pump It Up's track list is made up of sped up classical music.
 * "Raving to the Fifth" by Tecknophonia Ltd. is, as its name suggests, a rave remix of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
 * Take Bach's Minuet in G Major, slap lyrics on it, give it the 50's equivalent of a Speedy Techno Remix, and you get "A Lover's Concerto''. Then run it through this trope the second time around a few decades later, and you get SA's Delight.

Country

 * "Hampsterdance" was the result of speeding up and looping a section of Roger Miller's "Whistle Stop". Technically, the techno mix was made after that.
 * DJ Speedo feat. Angelica - "There You'll Be", a eurospeed/eurobeat cover of the Faith Hill song. Lyrical Dissonance, of course.

Dance

 * Dune's cover of Rozalla - "Are You Ready to Fly". Although not quite as speedy as the former (but faster than the original), Blumchen did a German cover of "Everybody's Free" titled "Ich bin wieder Hier".
 * Leland Jazz Radburn - "Never Gonna Give You Up"(!)
 * The same label, Disko Warp, also did a happy hardcore remake of Ke$ha's "Tik Tok".

Disco

 * The TIME Eurobeat label did this with many of their old Italo-disco songs. For example, "Perfect Time" by Rose and its 2007 remake.
 * Asia Records/SAIFAM also did this with several old songs, eg FCF - "Bad Desire" => FCF - "A New Bad Desire", and Mike Hammer - "Divine" => Mark Foster - "Kiss Me Divine".

Eurobeat

 * King Kong & D Jungle Girls - "Boom Boom Dollar: Red Monster 2000 Mix" and "KOG G3 Mix".
 * The Hi-NRG Attack label has recently started doing "hyper techno" remixes of their old-school material.

Eurodance

 * "Caramelldansen" is techno, but not speedy. Then we have the Speedycake Remix. It also makes their voices go higher, which is very common in this trope.
 * The remix also spawned the Caramelldansen Vid trope.
 * An Ascended Meme as they released a music video doing the "Caramelldansen" dance to the Speedycake remix with the Japanese mondegreens.
 * "Cartoon Heroes" by Aqua, and the speedy mix.
 * "Baby Boy" by Me & My, the sped up version was given a similar treatment to "Under My Skin" and "Caramelldansen": the "Pappara". The original remake depicts a scene from the opening of Galaxy Angel Rune.
 * Everything by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_
 * The awkwardness of Ana (Teranoid and MC Natsack Remix) has to be noted.
 * Smile.dk: Butterfly (Upswing mix) and Boys (Euro mix)
 * Netzwerk - "Memories", remixed by Scott Brown.

Folk

 * Modo - "Eins Zwei Polizei", a techno rendition of a German counting rhyme.
 * Basshunter sped up Loituma's version of "Ievan Polkka" and the result is well liked among leekspinners.
 * Oscillator X did this with "London Bridge", In the Style Of Basshunter.

Funk

 * "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk uses a sped up version of "Cola Bottle Baby" for its sample. Kanye West then reversed it by slowing it down and remixing it as a hip-hop song. Impressively, all three are actually pretty good.
 * Erik B & Rakim - "I Know You Got Soul (drum & bass remake)"

Hard Rock

 * Eurobeat artist Niko, of "Night of Fire" fame, covered Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" and "It's My Life".
 * Cherry (aka Clara Moroni aka Leslie Parrish etc.) did a speedy Eurobeat remake of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell".

Heavy Metal

 * Zany & MC DV 8 - "Nothing Else Matters" is a speedy techno hardstyle cover of Metallica's Black Sheep Hit of the same name.

Jazz

 * Venetian Snares - "Öngyilkos Vasárnap", originally "Gloomy Sunday", the Hungarian suicide song.
 * Cutoff - "Summertime", a remake of the George Gershwin lullaby.

New Wave

 * David Dima - "Save A Prayer", a Eurobeat cover of a Duran Duran ballad.
 * Happy hardcore remake of Nena's "99 Balloons".
 * There have been several of these of Real Life's "Send Me an Angel", such as this one by Mythos 'n DJ Cosmo.

Pop

 * "Caipirinha" by Carinho is sped up and turned into a "Caipirinha Dance" with a certain Genki Girl from Azumanga Daioh. By the way, caipirinha is the national drink of Brazil.
 * Ska artists are fans of this. Reel Big Fish in particular has covered dozens of songs at concerts and otherwise, including a memorable remix of a-Ha's "Take On Me". Other speedy ska remixes can be found by Skatallica ("Brown Eyed Girl") and Ska Daddy Z ("Hotel California"). Essentially, the songs are sped up a good bit and the main melody is played on wind instruments as opposed to guitar.
 * Er, the "techno" aspect seems to be missing from this example. However, Reel Big Fish did cover The Pixies "Gigantic" In the Style Of euro-techno...
 * O-Zone - "Dragostea Din Tei (Eurobeat Remix)"
 * Newton - "Sky High (Euro-Type Mix)" (adds to the Lyrical Dissonance), itself a cover of the Jigsaw song. There's also a speedy remix of DJ Miko's version.
 * Prodigal Son - "Stalk Her", a smashing remix of Dido's "All You Want".
 * DHT - "Listen To Your Heart (Furious F-EZ mix)" (cover of Roxette)
 * Kelly Clarkson - "Behind These Hazel Eyes": Speedbreaker Remix and Lost in Paradise Euro Mix.
 * Roberto Rossini - "That's Amore"
 * Eurobeat Lovers - "Yozora no Muko (Over the Time)", and Engrish cover of the Suga Shikao/SMAP song. By the same guys who covered Hot Limit.
 * Madonna - "What It Feels Like for a Girl (Above & Beyond remix)", this is also the version used in the controversial music video.
 * Jesse McCartney's "Because You Live" was covered as Eurobeat by Milky MC (Cristian De Leo).
 * Arguably, John Desire's cover of the notorious "Hot Limit" (a.k.a "We Drink Ritalin") qualifies. The original by T.M. Revolution (the same T.M. Revolution in this Engrish poster) is a tad slower. As a reminder, this is how John Desire's version of the song sounds like in DDR 5th Mix.
 * And apparently before that, High and Mighty Color's cover.
 * Nicky French's 1994 cover of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" isn't necessarily speedy itself, but it later had a Eurobeat remix.
 * The Olsen Brothers' "Fly on the Wings of Love", winner of Eurovision Song Contest 2000, was remade by XTM.
 * Ricky Martin - "She's All I Ever Had (Pablo Flores remix)". Not speedy by any means, but much faster than the original.
 * Jordin Sparks - One Step at a Time (Phaze 2 remix)

Punk

 * Refused's song "New Noise" and the remix.

R & B

 * t.A.T.u. - "All Things She Said"
 * Michael Jackson - "One More Chance (DnB remix)"

Rap

 * Eminem meets Dillinja
 * Eminem - "Lose Yourself (DnB remix)" (or this one)

Reggae

 * Benny Benassi meets Sean Paul
 * Sean Paul - "Get Busy (DnB remix)"

Rock

 * Scooter - "Ramp! (The Logical Song)", originally by Supertramp.
 * 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor - "There's a Key" uses the tune of Aphrodite's Child - "Rain & Tears".
 * Pink's "Sober" has one of these, which is kind of missing the point: The song is about a woman regretting and/or giving up her party girl lifestyle (or dying; the lyrics can be read either way), so you make a techno dance remix of it?
 * Eurodance/techno group Kandystand did this with The Cult's "(She Sells) Sanctuary" (with somewhat creepy vocoder vocals), Heart's "Alone", Phil Oakey's "(Together in) Electric Dreams", and Sonny Charles & The Checkmates' "Black Pearl". They also covered Gary Moore's "Empty Rooms", although it's quite a bit slower than the previous examples.
 * Mindless Self Indulgence's cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer" definitely qualifies

Soundtrack - Anime

 * A disco version of the Space Battleship Yamato theme was actually used in the show itself.
 * Then there's the high-speed version of the Lupin III theme in Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix. Remix, original
 * Two words: EXIT TRANCE. If you thought the Lyrical Dissonance in "Komm, Susser Tod" couldn't get any thicker, you haven't heard the remix (just search for it on youtube).
 * EXIT TRANCE also has a habit of turning songs into Crowning Music of Awesome. Their epic remixes of "Naraku no Hana", the aforementioned "Komm, Susser Tod", "Lilium", "RESONANCE", and "Triangler" are arguably better than the originals.
 * Additional awesome remixes are "World End", "Only My Railgun", "PSI-missing" and yes, even Space Battleship Yamato.
 * "Cat's Eye" by E-Rotic is a Eurodance cover of the Theme Tune of a little-known anime series of the same name (here's the original version). There's also the faster "Ventura Mix" featured in Dance Dance Revolution.

Soundtrack - Film

 * This has its roots in disco, with the Star Wars disco song.
 * Laserdance did a space-synth/techno rendition titled "War Between The Stars" on their appropriately named Laserdance Strikes Back album.
 * Disco versions of classical music were quite popular. See a fifth of Beethoven and "Hooked On Classics".
 * The band Stars On 45 made their entire career out of covers of mostly non-disco songs set to a disco beat, all strung together in a Medley like a non-funny version of Weird Al's polka medleys. (That's why the first one he did was called "Polkas on 45").
 * Their cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" actually topped the charts in Asia.
 * Parodied by Ivor Biggun in "Bras On 45", which adds plenty of Gag Boobs to the medley.
 * "Lux Aeterna", remixed by Sauekid and Tactix
 * M-A-G-I-K-A featuring Stixman - "Flashdance (What A Feeling)", remake of the titular song from the movie, featured in Dance Dance Revolution: 3rd Mix.
 * Mythos & DJ Cosmo - "Heart of the Ocean", a trance remix of the Titanic theme. And there are many remixes of "My Heart Will Go On".
 * Headhunterz - "Last of the Mohicanz" is a hardstyle re-arrange of the Last of the Mohicans main theme.
 * DJ Tiesto's remix of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme.
 * Ryuichi Sakamoto's theme song to Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence has had at least two. The first being a trance version by Watergate entitled "Heart of Asia" released in 1999. In 2007, UK hardcore artists Brisk and Vagabond collaborated with Japanese hardcore artist Uraken to produce an even speedier rework of the Watergate version entitled "Tokyo Rush".
 * The Eurobeat Disney remakes of songs from Disney films, many of which were featured in Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Mix, such as Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins.

Soundtrack - Live-Action TV

 * Amazingly enough, the German band CosMix did this to Sesame Street. See for yourself. There are also other remixes, but they're all but impossible to find without actually buying the CD.
 * And from the UK: "Sesame's Treet" by Smart E's. Believe it or not, this reached #2 in the UK singles chart in 1992.
 * "It's Nannerpuss!"
 * This remix of the Casualty theme.

Soundtrack - Theatre

 * "Let The Sun Shine" by Alec Empire.
 * The Pet Shop Boys did a Euro-trance cover of "Somewhere" from West Side Story.
 * "Alegria" by Jonatan F. is a trance remix of the title song from the Cirque Du Soleil show of the same name.

Soundtrack - Video Games

 * In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, "Tal Tal Heights" from The Legend of Zelda and the Star Fox 64 main theme got turned into speedy techno. The Stickerbrush Symphony remix borders on this too.
 * Those videos have been removed, but Yusuke Takahama arranged the first two, and "Stickerbrush Symphony" is called "Bramble Blast" in Brawl, arranged by Michiko Naruke.
 * "Still Alive", the Theme Song for Portal, was remixed like this about five times over.
 * "Never Surrender" by Nile Rodgers & Nataraj, a techno remix of the Halo theme. Halo Reach even has a techno version of the Easter Egg song "Siege of Madrigal", heard at Club Errera in New Alexandria after hitting a switch on the roof.
 * Longcat's song is actually a sped-up remix of Shii's song, which itself is a pitch-shifted version of "The Boat Song, aka Wind Nocturne", from Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete.
 * No mention of the many techno/trance remix(es) of the Cheetahmen theme?
 * In Final Fantasy XIII, "The Sunleth Waterscape" is a speedy techno remake of the game's main leitmotif tune with happy upbeat lyrics slapped on.
 * Then there's the numerous Chocobo ride themes, one of the two recurring tunes spanning the series. Final Fantasy VI has a techno remix of the tune, but it isn't speedy. Final Fantasy VII onwards has at least one chocobo tune that's a sped-up remix of the base chocobo tune.
 * The Dissidia soundtrack is a trance remix of Final Fantasy IX's battle theme.
 * There are quite a few of "Korobeiniki" from Tetris, including Basshunter's "Plane to Spain".
 * The songs in Super Robot Wars J are about twice as fast as the originals, making in several cases for more fitting battle music.
 * Genki Rockets - Heavenly Star (Reizxxx Trance Mix)
 * The main theme from Twinbee was remixed as "Twinbee (Generation X)" in Beatmania III and Dance Dance Revolution.
 * The theme for the first two Bowser levels in Super Mario Galaxy is actually a trance remix of "Road to Bowser" from Super Mario 64.

Soundtrack - Web Original

 * There's at least one of these of The Angry Video Game Nerd's theme song.

Soundtrack - Western Animation

 * Happy hardcore remix of the Heffalumps and Woozles song from Winnie the Pooh. By the same guy who made the infamous Cillit Bang! remix
 * Tomosuke/U1-Asami: "It's A Small World (Ducking Hardcore Mix)" from Dance Dance Revolution Disney's Mix qualifies.
 * JAKAZiD has also made remixes of the theme from Doctor Who and "Toki o Kizamu Uta" from Clannad among many other things.
 * Possibly this remix of the Pink Elephants song (part of Disneyland's Fantasmic! stage show).
 * Gummi Bears became "Gelatin Crusaders".
 * Speedy Techno Remakes of music from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic has been made by an artist known as Eurobeat Brony (also known as Odyssey and Ken Blast - he appeared on Super Eurobeat as Ken Blast). A YouTube user known as Fluttershy Elsa takes these remakes and adds the show's vocals on top of them. "Art of the Dress", "Winter Wrap Up", "At the Gala" and tonnes more.

Trance

 * "Under My Skin" by a project known as Paffendorf is sped up to create the Paffendorf series, affectionately called the "Paffendorf Dance" or the further evolved version. The dancing girl is Sumomo Mo Momo Mo Momoko and the main cast from Lucky Star respectively.
 * While not inherently this, some of the more famous Nightcore artists do choose to add techno elements and slightly heavier bass to some of their remixes. The style itself focuses on speeding up a song and including a higher pitch, but not (as a rule) as high as "Chipmunk-ing". What delineates this for most outsiders is the faster speed, bringing the style back around to this trope.
 * The chillout tune "Silence" by Delerium f/ Sarah MacLachlan was given the speed-up treatment at least three times; by Airscape, DJ Tiesto, and later Above & Beyond.
