Bonnie McKee’s “American Girl” is about as standard bubblegum pop as a song can get, but it’s simplicity presented an interesting opportunity for a remix. Enter Steve Aoki, who just released his version on Buzzworthy. Largely recreating the song, Aoki replaced the cheery pop melodies and elementary bassline with more abrasive electro synths and a bigger, more complex beat. There’s not much he could do about the lyrics, other than chop them up and move them around, but the end result is a fun, danceable track.
