“Ain’t That a Kick In The Head” remix 2015

Nissan initially licensed the Dean Martin 1960 recording of “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head”, and hired us to take the stereo track and “do a creative edit” to score it to their cut.

In a moment of inspired overdelivering, I ignored the brief and “had fun with it”… slowed it down chopped it up and gave it a fresh swing, and it captured the imagination of our client overlords who agreed that it was worth making into a full length and paying us for the privilege.

We got remixer RJD2 to add a section and put his name on it, which gave it a bit of an artist halo, and Capitol Records released it, which sent it out into the world to live on video game soundtracks and TV shows and then this Amazon Super Bowl spot.
