Only a handful of people, if that, can remix a song with respect to the original and even improving on the original. As long as it is done within the rules of law and more, importantly, it is done tastefully, I see absolutely nothing wrong with remixing an old song to make it presentable to the younger generation. Thottal Poo Malarum was an incredible remix in my opinion. If you get a chance listen to the American Jazz/Rock group Steely Dan's cover of Duke Ellington's instrumental composition 'East St. Louis Toodle-oo,' now that's an unbelievable improvement on the original. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to that Wah-Wah guitar!! That is a different kind of music from ARR, but it's genius all the same!
