Is This Something?, Part II

Are You Going To Be My Animal?

Actually... I know it's not something. The two songs just don't come together. As with most mash-ups, you're basically just listening to two different songs at once.

I just linked it because everyone -- expecially da ladies -- loves "Monononop."

I had thought I'd have to slap a content warning on it, because I thought they were going to mash in "Closer" ("I want to f*#k you like an Animal!").

No dice. They kept it clean.

But that, indeed, would have been something.

Definitely Something: I still love this terrific mash-up of the Beatles "You Won't See Me" with Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up." (Song's called "You Won't Give It Up," scan down.)

The guy does a lot of Beatles mash-ups, and Johnny Cash makes a few appearances too.

You have to register to download that, but it takes five seconds.

Retired Geezer... says DJ Earwax is brilliant. He mixes like, forty songs into one. RG suggests Under the Confluence of Giants and Stairway To Bootleg Heaven (in the sidebar, no registration required).

Meh. steve_in_hb said the best mash-ups take multiple songs and build something wholly new. That's what this guy does. But, uh, I'm not sure I actually want something wholly new. I sort of just want two or three tracks I like mixed together, while retaining most of their identity as the tracks I already love.
