Go ahead, world, just TRY and ruin this song. I dare you. It can't be done.

When R. Kelly went onstage with Phoenix at Coachella this year to perform a surprise live mashup of "Ignition (Remix)" — hands-down the greatest pop song to ever compare a lady to an automobile and, God willing, our future national anthem — he reminded us once again of what is arguably the song's greatest virtue.
And its virtues, they are many. But its crowning glory is this: No matter who's singing or playing it or mashing it up, no matter what the hell they're doing to it, this song cannot be bad. It is by definition a remix, and as such is infinitely remixable. It is invincible. Incorruptible.
Don't believe me? Just TRY to hate a single one of these versions. TRY.
The Hood Internet threw this together after hearing the live Coachella mash-up with Phoenix's "1901":
From their website: "Hopefully this means R. Kelly is at the stage of his career where he just shows up and sings "Ignition (Remix)" over other people's songs all the time." (YES PLEASE)

They had previously mixed it with Major Lazer's "Keep It Going Louder."
Also great.
