The term mash-up comes from the hip-hop music practice of mixing two or more songs; however, the term is also applied to video and software too, on this thread the only rule is to point to internet videos or info regarding the most memorable mashups of video or video + music.
There are already some classic ones dealing with Monthy Pyton and the Holy Grail:
Mixed with Legos:

The Swedish group Caramel got recently the same treatment when someone added a clip of 2 japanese characters dancing from the Anime Popotan (It is a hentai title, but they are not doing anything dirty here)

Here’s a recent example done for Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Big silver spoons?
