[Unicron]

Anyone else a fan of mashup songs? I found a couple of amusing ones tonight.

When I was a kid we called these type of songs "medleys"

 

[intrinsical]

Medleys and mashups are quite different beasts. A medley is when you sing one song followed by another and another. A mashup is when you take two songs and mix or interleave the lyrics and melody of both songs together.

These are two of my favourites:

Moloko vs Elastica

PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Bjork, Massive Attack

and less a mashup than sample, but one of the most sublime and original samples IMNHO:

Mos Def and Aretha Franklin

This is a good one

As a Beatles and Oasis fan, I really like this one:

I wish it used the superior guitar solo from the album version of "Let It Be," though.

This is a good one

Indeed. Right-click, save.

 

[the G-man]

Does Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" count as a mashup of "Werewolves of London" and "Sweet Home Alabama"? If so, I like that one.

Jaydiohead: Jay-Z vs. Radiohead:

One of my favorites is a mashup by DJ Earworm called If I Were a Free Fallin' Boy (Freefallin' by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Beyonce's If I Was a Boy).

And this one is so good that it actually changes your perception of both songs, as if they had always meant to be together:

Works better than it has any right to...

That was really good. I'm surprised Ryan Murphy hasn't stolen it for Glee yet.
