I find them hypnotic. I really enjoy a goofy pop tune grafted onto something until it becomes a disco Frankenstein. It is so nice when two completely inappropriate songs fit together seamlessly. I am trying my google-fu, but I would appreciate some doper input: Are there any mash-up songs you particularly like? Where do you find them or what were they made out of? ---

I have one that I downloaded back in the heady days of Napster. It features Ozzy Osbournes’ _Crazy Train_ mashed up with some Madonna tunes. It actually works pretty well. ---

My fave is the blending of Angelo Badalamenti’s theme from “Twin Peaks” with Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and some other stuff: [Another Theme in the Wall](http://www.musicianmp3.com/music/Angelo%20Badalamenteri%20Vs%20Pink%20Floyd%20-%20Another%20Theme%20in%20the%20Wall%20.mp3). ---

There was one that got some airplay around here a year or so ago that was Oasis’ Wonderwall mixed with Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The verse sections are very simlar chord progressions so it works out pretty well. That’s two posts in one day about mixing. I’m going to go listen to some Dissection and get my head straight… ---

I like the mp3 blog [Puritan Blister](http://puritanb.blogspot.com/). Each entry has 5 mash-ups. My favorite ever is [“Witness the Curtains Closing”](http://puritanb.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-am-feet-away-from-someones-actual.html), which combines Roots Manuva’s “Witness (1 Hope)” and Arctic Monkeys’s “Curtains Closed.” I really like both of the component songs, but together it mashes up to something great. ---

How interesting, I’d never heard of “mash-ups”. Chicago-based harmonica player [Corky Siegel](http://www.chamberblues.com/) was doing this kind of thing in the 1960s. He’d overlay a blues band and classical music. Personally, I can’t stand it (love Corky’s other work, though). But perhaps you’d find this interesting? ---

I have one that’s called “The Ghost That Feeds” - I think it was linked from here - it’s a mash-up of a NIN song called “The Hand that Feeds” and the Ghostbusters theme tune. ---

[QUOTE=Flutterby] Boulevard of Broken Songs is the title I have on the file. I was going to mention it too 🙂 [/QUOTE] It’s part of a whole album of mash-ups of songs from Green Day’s _American Idiot_ called [American Edit.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Edit) My favorite part is _Jesus of Suburbia_ mashed-up with _Summer of '69_ and _Ring of Fire._ (called _Summer of the Damned_ and _Suburban Ring_ on the album.) The original website it was on was shut down, but it’s easy to find on “shady” sites, if you know where to look, but obviously I won’t tell you what sites those are here. ---

The Doors vs. The Cult mash-up. **[Sanctuary’s Over](http://www.culturebully.com/archives/380)**. Mashed she sells sanctuary and when the music’s over. We want the world and we want it now… ---

A friend gave me a disk full of these things, so I can’t help you with sources or artists, but here are a few I really dig: “Crazy Little Fool” (Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” & Beatles’ “Fool on the Hill” – astoundingly perfect) “Slim McShady” (“The Real Slim Shady” over the top of “Silly Love Songs”) “Wouldn’t It Be Nice to Be Your First” (Barry White vs the Beach Boys) There’s also Danger Mouse’s “Grey Album,” the vocals from Jay-Z’s Black Album married with samples from the Beatles White Album. ---

one of the funniest things I have ever seen live was a (sort of) mashup by the band Sweaty Nipples when they played the music to Green Day’s Long View but sung the lyrics to Gilligans Island Theme…does that count? ---

My oldest son has gotten me hooked on mashups. Youtube has a ton of them- just enter ‘mashup’ in the search line. ---

I particularly like the Muppet Show Theme vs Electric 6’s “Gay Bar” This is the only way the songs work for me anymore. Also “This Charming Man” by the Smiths mixed with “Without Me” by Eminem (although I think hip hop mashups are cheating.) ---

**Storm Large** has done some really good ones: There’s one on Youtube: [Abba Gadda Davida](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhL8Qp9u-gQ) Others include “The Star Spangled Pushernoia”, a maship of the Star Spangled Banner, The Pusher, and Paranoia, “Van Ministry”, a mashup of Ministry and Van Morrison, and “In the Light Wedding”, a Mashup of “White Wedding” with some other songs.
