I was going to post these ones in this thread: [I need to discover more mash-ups - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=415435) , but I noticed the mashups requested were only for audio ones. 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: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fIXByCAIzos/hqdefault.jpg "Monty Python and the Holy Grail in Lego") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIXByCAIzos) Mixed with Star Trek: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/luVjkTEIoJc/hqdefault.jpg "Star Trek Meets Monty Python") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luVjkTEIoJc) There is the fat guy singer that made the Rumanian song Numa Numa famous world wide: ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/60og9gwKh1o/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/60og9gwKh1o?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque The real Rumanian group: ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mDJ-BTP0E8g/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/mDJ-BTP0E8g?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Speaking of that last “classic”, one curious thing I noticed was how European music is getting into the USA via Mashup and for some odd reason the acts are connected to anime: [http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/3806](http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/3806) > [@](#): > > DO not, Repeat, DO NOT click on this link > [http://www.leekspin.com/](http://www.leekspin.com/) > if you actually have something even slightly, vaguely important to do today, or if you are at all worried about maintaining your sanity. > > Okay, fine, click. > > Loituma Girl is the most spellbinding thing I’ve ever seen, and the worst part is, I can’t explain why. At least Wikipedia can explain what: > > > [@](#): > > > > Loituma Girl (also known as Leekspin) is a flash cartoon set to a gibberish section of the traditional Finnish folk song “Ievan Polkka” sung by the Finnish quartet Loituma, taken from their 1995 debut album Things of Beauty. … The cartoon consists of a 4-frame animation of the Bleach anime character Orihime Inoue twirling a leek (a type of green onion, called a negi in Japan) to a 27-second loop from the song. > > … BTW you may have seen a very NSFW version that meme, an almost naked 3D anime girl also twirling a leek. Alas, i’m not posting a link. Here is the original Finnish song: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BN4cLlIKnoA/hqdefault.jpg "Loituma - Ievan Polkka") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN4cLlIKnoA) 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) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UX6e7sO1ss0/hqdefault.jpg "Caramelldansen / U-U-U-Aua Dance") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX6e7sO1ss0) The original song (the song in the clip is cranked up in speed) is a nice one, but unfortunately I have never seen an example of what the real Caramel Dance is, any European dopers can help? And Video Mashups can be simple: Someone added the original Herb Albert Casino Royale theme to the new James Bond Casino Royale opening: ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/sa7ts4rq9PM/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/sa7ts4rq9PM?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Interesting how the music seems to fit. Other examples? ---

Would YouTube Poop count as a mash-up? YouTube Poop is a strange phenomenon involving humorous combinations of video clips and sounds, usually involving the old _Super Mario World_ TV series (that’s Mama Luigi to you, Mario!), old Philips CD-I games (I can’t wait to bomb some Dodongos!), and whatever else the Poopers can get their hands on. [Here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZiyDKmxy04) a recent example done for Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Big silver spoons?
