Rather than necro-ing a zombie thread: > **[Mashups](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=530661)** > > I have just discovered Mashups; take elements of two different songs and combine them into a whole new animal. Here’s a handful of the highest quality mashups, IMHO. Nine Inch Nails vs The Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM7tdWRkBp0 Led... I’ll just start a new one. Phil Collins vs Kill Bill [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kePhfPWE1CM) Blondie vs The Doors [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dnhKPw2NXIw/hqdefault.jpg "Blondie Vs. The Doors - Rapture Riders") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnhKPw2NXIw) ELO vs The Supremes…plus a little Jacko [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B5NuDWx2IMI/hqdefault.jpg "Go Home Productions - Supreme Evil (ELO vs The Supremes)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5NuDWx2IMI) And a link to another message board: [http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9801967776/m/77819493301](http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9801967776/m/77819493301) ---

Wow. I think the Battle Without Honor or Dignity/In the the Air Tonight mashup might be the most awesome thing I have ever heard. ---

The tv show _ **Glee** _ had a whole episode centered on mashups, and have used them in another couple of episodes. They are performed by the cast, though, so not mashups of the original recordings. Here are some of them via youtube: [Don’t Stand So Close To Me/Young Girl](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_UOGzEh2hs) [It’s My Life/Confessions Part II](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMD4Te_SoZM) [Walking on Sunshine/Halo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P58-JLIGJOk) BTW, on those last two there is a reason within the context of the show as to why the kids are so… _animated_. And if you’re not watching _ **Glee** _, you really should–I didn’t think it would be my kind of show, but I love it. ---

Can The Rolling Stones’ “Memoy Motel” [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE_QQJwF_xk) be mashed up with U2’s “One” [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8bynAWt-pCs/hqdefault.jpg "U2 - One - Buffalo Version") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bynAWt-pCs) I’m no musician, so I don’t know from chord progression, but I figure you can speed up/slow down one song to match the beat of the other, and run one song through a sound filter to match the key…much as was done in this mashup: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lEApFkpH02Y/hqdefault.jpg "U2 vs. John Mayer - Waiting on a Moment (mashup)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEApFkpH02Y) ---

DJ Earmworm just did a [mashup](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNzrwh2Z2hQ) of the Billboard Top 25 tracks for 2009. See how many you can spot. 🙂 I’ve got six songs simultaneously stuck in my head now.
