Favorite music mashups

[MrCalavera]

Just like in the title, post your favorite music mashups that combine 2 or more existing songs, or parts thereof.

I'll start with this ol' slapper:

 

[Mister Mumbler]

The world's angriest marble machine:

Honestly, anything done by Bill McClintock is amazing:

 

[Chimpzy]

Did you ... I ... I did this, didn't I, when I posted some mashups in the good music thread? I'm not sorry.


There's just something neat about mashing up nu metal and pop. Something about the juxtaposition between the edgy lyrics and the music.
Well, minus the Beastie Boys, of course.

A classic

 

[Xprimentyl]

A group by the name of ‘Dawn of MIDI.’ A musical trio that prides itself on being guys who take three very analog instruments and create very non-analog atmospheres, i.e.: you’d hear them and suspect a single person behind some synths and decks, but it’s a piano, bass and drum set. It’s mostly the prepared/manipulated piano doing the heavy lifting here, but still impressive. I could easily see myself burning the midnight oil in a smoky, afterhours venue with a cocktail or several, chilling out to this. After my 300th listen to their album “Dysnomia,” I still find myself captivated. It’s hard to share with casual listeners as they don’t ever appreciate exactly what these guys are doing.

It doesn't combine two pieces per se, but when my sister showed me a jazz take on JS Bach music, I was skeptical (Stokowski was, at the time, as far as I was willing to go, and that I prefer Big Band jazz). But after listening to the 582 interpretation, I was pleasantly surprised (somewhat rushed ending notwithstanding, but the build up was nifty).

I hate JOJO, and I mostly hate rap, especially the over the top, thuggish, gangsta style type about excess and being assholes.

But, this fucking song......

 

[Chimpzy]

Not really a mashup (tho there is one at the end), but a video that goes a little into why mashups work.

Can't watch the video, at work, but I would assume it's based on the similarities in beat and musical structure that most music has to some degree.

The examples in the video are down to the flexibility of the major scale, so yeah, basically.

Yeah, not a surprise. That's just how musical structure works

 

[Mister Mumbler]

A whole album of Hendrix/Wu-Tang, why not?
EDIT: Well, Youtube is down now, so here's the Bandcamp,

 

[Worgen]

 

[BrawlMan]

[Asita]

Piano Guys, perhaps?

Eg: Fight Song, mashing up...well, Fight Song with Amazing Grace and Scotland the Brave (though for the life of me I cannot catch the last one in it, despite it being credited)


Or Hello/Lacrimosa, mashing up the titular pieces by Adele and Mozart, respectively.



Or here's an odd one: What do you get when you throw Vivaldi's Winter up with Let It Go from Frozen? You get this:

 

[Houseman]

And every other song from Neil's "Mouth" albums

 

[Asita]

So...this just popped up in my feed, and it certainly seems relevant.


And this also reminded me of another medley I came across a while ago:

 

[Chimpzy]

 

[Piscian]

I like anything by mighty Mike

Obviously the Grey Album is the secretly most famous mashup

Sadly no YouTube for the last one
