> [@GuanoLad](#): > > [Smells Like Rockin Robin](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNUTYHJrutw) Yep, one of my favorites, if not my favorite mash-up (and I’m generally not a fan of the genre.) ---

> [@Orr\_G](#): > > [Rapture/Riders](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnhKPw2NXIw) An oldie, but a goodie! 🙂 My favorites: [Iron Maiden vs. Frankie Goes To Hollywood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af9T46ucpLg) [Rock Sugar: Don’t Stop the Sandman](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4HffbAUTk) And while not technically a mashup, this [cover of Duran Duran’s “Rio”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dIpGMe7YWA) has a cute little medley at the end. ---

I like this one: [The Beatles vs Fatboy Slim - Walrus of Choice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu4fOdK-KDs) with bonus of C. Walken’s mad dance moves. ---

[If You Kiss Jesus](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z42Px69CWfM), a mashup of a number of songs that sounds awesome. ---

The mashup of Beatles songs["Within You Without You" + “Tomorrow Never Knows”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dq9NDRfb5Y) from the Love album is among my favorites. There is a little bit of backmasked “Rain” and “Lucy in the Sky w/ Diamonds” in the outro as well. The mix was performed by George Martin and his son Giles Martin. Mash-ups work better when the key and tempo match. When the speed of one or both songs is manipulated as evidenced by some of those already posted. ---

I think my favorite is “[Disturbed Youth](http://top-mp3-download.com/team9-vs-stereogum-disturbed-youth.html)” which is Beck vs Rihanna. I also quite like “[C’mon Fuck Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sfth3vr4jM)” Princess Superstar vs. Simian vs. Von Bondies vs. Fatboy Slim ---

They don’t quite play fair with this mashup of [Queen and the Beatles](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMGo7H5-a0A), and yet it’s still perfect. ---
