A misspelling?
Elvis Presleys ‘Trilogy’
…and hey LIVE BETTER ELECTRICALLY
DooWop lives in GQ!
I have that 45 on my jukebox.
Simon & Garfunkel’s prettiest song is usually referred to as “Scarborough Fair.” But the proper name is “Scarborough Fair/Canticle” because Paul wrote and sung the antiwar “Canticle” as a counterpoint to the peaceful nostalgia of “Scarborough Fair.”
When the different songs are sung successively they are often referred to as medleys. Remember Stars on 45 anyone?
Elvis Hitler did a song called Green Haze which was the lyrical content of the Green Acres theme song sung over the music to Jimi’s Purple Haze. One of the funniest things I think I’ve ever heard. They truly mix well together.
Coincidence or not? You decide. The 24 post in this thread was my 24 total post. Strange things are afoot at the SDMB.
In the movie Picnic, there is a famous scene where Kim Novak moves down some steps in time to some music. The piece begins with “Moonglow” and then the “Theme from Picnic” eases in and plays over it. I believe that Morris Stoloff arranged it. It’s been my favorite recording for almost half a century now.
“Bootlegs” maybe?

That was down at the time of this post, so here’s google’s cache of it:
A faux pas?
Anyway, don’t feel bad, I went to dinner with some friends (well-educated, liberal arts type friends) right after I posted and was shocked that none of the three of them knew that was the spelling! They had all seen the word but never connected it with the pronunciation
On Topic: The Petshop Boys did a mix of “Can’t Take my Eyes off of You” and "Where the Streets Have No Name that’s excellent. They also did "“You Were Always on My Mind” (originally Willie Nelson) mixed with “In My House” but I’m suspicious the last song was written specifically for the mix…
Synttacks ?
Is it wrong that I’m looking for a mix of this sort…of the X-Files and Animaniacs theme songs? Yeah, I’m probably the only person on earth who’d like that, so it probably doesn’t exist.
Well, there was the one where Emmet’s jugband did their song and Emmet’s mom did her song, and it turned out the songs went together perfectly, as if by design.
Some of these are amature mixes
You see these songs on file servers look for anything with “V.S” in the title
new order vs depche mode bizarre love triangle with dp’s fame mixed in
I have eminimen vs acdc which is slim shady done to back in black
or 2 versions of the same song IE kylie minlouge vs the pet shop boys “in denial”
Pet shop boys new order ect type of stuff is most popular to do it with
Does rap count? Because Eminem’s Stan was the first song I thought of when I saw the thread title.
If I’m not mistaken that was originally done by country comedians Pinkard and Bowden on their album Pinkard and Bowden Live in Front of a Bunch of Dickheads (ca. 1989). They called it a tribute to their two greatest career influences, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Albert.
Awesomely funny.
On Madonna’ Drowned World Tour, she combined Holiday with Stardust’s Music Sounds Better With You. It’s great. They mixed the Stardust part out of the audio on the concert DVD, but you can find it on the web.
I’ve done some mashups. I mix two tracks together and give them stupid names.
I’ve done:
-
Shit, Marshall, You’re Bleeding on the Fucking Couch (Eminem - Without Me vs Felix Da Housecat - Silver Screen, Shower Scene)
-
Brand New Business (Eminem - Business vs Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria… Glory Fades)
-
Karen O, Motherfucker (Fannypack - Camel Toe vs Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Bang)
One day I’ll put them on a website, and become RIAA public enemy no. 1 (and a superstar DJ to boot).
Here’s two definitions of SEGUE (there, I spelled it right this time)
1 : proceed to what follows without pause – used as a direction in music
2 : perform the music that follows like that which has preceded – used as a direction in music
That said, on the CD of the sound track for the Robert DiNero movie, ‘A Bronx Tale’, an accapella group (The Complextions) does the first three verses of ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’, and…flawlessly, the Flamingos (who were famous for this song in the late fifties) take over to complete the song.
The first thing I thought of when I read the title was Soft Cell and Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go
Maybe I ought to point out that Billy Joel borrowed a fragment of his own song, not someone else’s, to use as the three segments of “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant.” The songs had been called “The Italian Restaurant,” “Things Are Okay in Oyster Bay,” and “The Ballad of Brenda and Eddie,” which to my knowledge were unfinished songs that were never released.
Thanks for the sugestions everyone. These “mashups” sound like what I’m looking for. Or maybe the “vs” songs.
Just to clarify what I meant:
- The songs weren’t written to go together (Emmet Otter, Les Miserables…)
- It’s not taking the music of one song and writing new lyrics (Eminem’s Stan, Kid Rock’s American Badass)
- It’s not simply switching from one song to another. (Weird Al’s Polka medleys)
There’s gotta be a period where either both songs are played at the same time, or the songs switch back and forth more than once…
I’ll look into a few of these suggestions and report back. Thanks everyone!
