The Twin Peaks theme mashed up with Britney Spears’ Everytime is incredibly haunting

I guess I need a damn good coffee, baby

There are some songs that sound so good collided it’s as though they were separated at birth. Nelly’s ‘Hot In Here’ and the Bee Gees’ ‘Stayin’ Alive’ is bizarrely one set of twins, and today we learn of another.

Britney’s ballad had the piano stripped out and replaced with that iconic, drippy bass from Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic Twin Peaks theme tune, and the result is actually a thing of great beauty.

Britney’s voice sounds isolated and oddly ghostly, especially when the TV theme’s synth line comes in.

‘Everytime' has proven a pretty malleable track, having previously been adapted to great effect in the movie Spring Breakers.

I hope this remix makes it to the ears of David Lynch, as it would be a beautiful way of referencing the gap between series in the long-awaited Twin Peaks season 3.
