W tym przypadku powstał oryginał, potem bootleg, który prześcignął popularnością oryginał. Do tej pory nie przedstawialiśmy historii „Tom’s Dinner”, który doczekał się teraz najnowszego odświeżenia formacji Twelve i pod nowym tytułem „Twelve – You Can Have Me (If You Want Me)”. Ten charakterystyczny motyw i melodię Tom’s Dinner zna prawie każdy, bo co jakiś czas powraca. Dwa lata temu powstała na przykład wersja pt.”Sweet & Bitter” Kush Kush feat. Marta Gałuszewska. Niżej piszemy o losach oryginału, a tu polecamy waszej uwadze wersję ad 2020 formacji Twelve, która tez ma inny tytuł niż oryginał. Nazywa się „You Can Have Me (If You Want Me)” Tajemnicza formacja Twelve już kolejny raz serwuje nam adaptację starego hitu. Wcześniej było to „I Think She Knows” z repertuaru Justina Timberlake. Porównajmy to z oryginałem, a może z dwoma, choć dziwnie brzmi sformułowanie „dwa oryginały”. Dlaczego? Wyjaśniamy dalej. „Tom’s Diner ” to piosenka napisana w 1982 roku przez amerykańską piosenkarkę i autorkę tekstów Suzanne Vega . Po raz pierwszy został wydany jako utwór w magazynie Fast Folk Musical Magazine ze stycznia 1984 roku . Kiedy po raz pierwszy pojawił się na jednym z jej własnych albumów studyjnych, pojawił się jako pierwszy utwór z jej albumu „Solitude Standing” z 1987 roku . Został później użyty jako podstawa do remixu przez brytyjską grupę DNA w 1990 roku, który osiągnął numer 1 w Austrii, Niemczech, Grecji i Szwajcarii. W 1990 roku dwóch brytyjskich producentów DNA zremiksowało „Tom’s Diner”, zaszczepiając wokal Vegi w taneczny rytm z Soul II Soul („ Keep On Movin ’ ”) i zmieniając jej proste zakończenie – „Da da da duh, doo da-doo doo”. Ponieważ w tym czasie niemożliwe było umieszczenie całej piosenki w samplerze, więc spędzali wieczory i weekendy, wycinając wokale Vegi na małe kawałki. Bez jej zgody, jej wytwórni płytowej lub wydawcy, duet wydał remiks w ograniczonym zakresie do dystrybucji w klubach jako „Oh Suzanne” zespołu „DNA featuring Suzanne Vega”. A&M – wytwórnia Vegi finalnie wypuściła oficjalnie remiks zamiast pozywać DNA do sądu za naruszenie praw autorskich. Ostatecznie, jak pokazał czas, remiks stał się znacznie większym hitem niż oryginał, który pierwotnie osiągnął 2 miejsce na UK Singles Chart i numer 5 na US Billboard Hot 100. Natomiast wersja z DNA osiągnęła pierwsze miejsce w Austrii, Niemczech, Grecji i Szwajcarii. Vega originally wrote “Tom’s Diner” in 1982 and it found its first release in 1984 on a compilation. She was signed to A&M Records that same year and this track was then included on her 1987 debut album Solitude Standing. Audiophiles began using the track as a way to test stereo speakers for clarity. Later, “Tom’s Diner” would also play a key role in the birth of the MP3 player – it was used for analyzing different sound spectrums when creating the compression algorithm for the MP3 file format. In 1990, the British duo DNA added music to Vega’s vocals without getting permission from A&M. After BBC Radio played their version, Vega’s label threatened to sue for copyright infringement but an agreement was made where DNA was paid less than $8,000 and their ‘remixed’ version became property of A&M. It became an international hit, reaching the top 5 in several countries, including the US. It is estimated the remix earned A&M and Vega ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’. Vega wrote a fantastic essay about the creation of this song here. She echoes some of the same statements in the beginning of an acapella performance of it in this video. Suzanne Vega's catchy tune has made her "Mother of the MP3" -- though it took a while. Vega wrote "Tom's Diner" as an a cappella song way back in 1982. By 1984 it has been released on an obscure folk compilation, and didn't appear on Vega's studio albums until 1987's Solitude Standing. In 1990, the song was remixed by The DNA Disciples, adding a danceable beat and instrumentation -- this version hit the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #5 in the what does this have to do with MP3? Well, after its release in 1987 audiophiles began using Vega's a cappella track to test speaker systems for clarity. It was considered a good, warm recording of a human voice -- something that could reveal flaws in an audio setup. Working at the Fraunhofer Society in Germany in the 90's, audio engineer Karl-Heinz Brandenburg was hard at work developing the MP3 audio compression scheme. Brandenburg used Vega's a cappella version of "Tom's Diner" to tune the compression system, playing the track before and after compression was applied to tell whether MP3 sounded good enough. He figured Vega's song would be a tough track to compress (as it was already favored by audiophiles), and would be a good test for whether MP3 was really listenable. Although many audiophiles ended up hating MP3, Brandenburg seems to have done pretty well for himself -- MP3 became an incredibly popular technology. On the choice of "Tom's Diner," Brandenburg recalled: "I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm...somewhere down the corridor, a radio was playing 'Tom's Diner.' I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice."In last week's New York Times, Vega reminisced about the song and her career as a "two-hit wonder" (the other hit was "Luka"). From her article:So Mr. Brandenberg gets a copy of the song, and puts it through the newly created MP3. But instead of the "warm human voice" there are monstrous distortions, as though the Exorcist has somehow gotten into the system, shadowing every phrase. They spend months refining it, running "Tom's Diner through the system over and over again with modifications, until it comes through clearly. "He wound up listening to the song thousands of times," the article, written by Hilmar Schmundt, continued, "and the result was a code that was heard around the world. When an MP3 player compresses music by anyone from Courtney Love to Kenny G, it is replicating the way that Brandenburg heard Suzanne Vega." So goes the legend. The reason I know what that MP3 originally sounded like is that last year I was invited to the Fraunhofer Institute in Erlangen, Germany, where I met the team of engineers who worked on the project — including Mr. Brandenberg, who I had met once before at the launch of the Mobile Music Forum in Cannes in 2001. All the men are obviously intelligent, but Karl-Heinz is a character. He stands out, because he looks like a mad scientist. His hair and tie always look as if they have been blown askew in a stiff wind, and he taps the tips of his fingers together constantly, smiling the rest for one artist's thoughts on her nearly thirty-year career in music -- and the unexpected resonance of a song scribbled on paper back in 1982.
