Awesome Mashups

What happens when you put the music of Stryper, AC/DC, Kiss, Mötley Crüe, Pantera, Dokken, Def Leppard, Vixen, Blue Öyster Cult, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, and Van Halen into a blender and press the “Shred” button? Master music mashup maker Bill McClintock has the answer with this epic metal remix that demands you crank your volume up to 11.

Robin Williams brought us such joy over the years, especially as the mischievous but well-intentioned Mrs. Doubtfire. Bell Brothers took this classic character and stitched her dance moves into scenes from other movies and TV shows, including The Three Amigos, Ghostbusters, Joker, Back to the Future., and Seinfeld. The editing and compositing is top-notch.

DJ Earworm masterfully mashes up three iconic tracks from different decades into one seamless, genre-blending mix. By combining The Killers’ Mr. Brightside, Alphaville’s Forever Young, and The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s Stay, he creates a nostalgic yet fresh sonic experience that bridges generations and proves great music truly transcends time.

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches, uh-huh, uh-huh. Rob Zombie meets ROSÉ & Bruno Mars in this insane but insanely good mashup from DJ Cummerbund. The groovy dance track also mixes in samples from the B-52s, Britney Spears, Toni Basil, Rammstein, the Ting Tings, and more.

We can think of a few music genres that are less compatible than soft rock and grunge. But leave it to mashup maestro Bill McClintock to find their common ground. His combination of Al Stewart’s Year of the Cat with Nirvana’s unplugged version of Come as You Are is as unexpected as they come, but it’s also fantastic.

The women of The Great Voices of Bulgaria perform traditional Eastern European songs using centuries-old vocal techniques while dressed in old-world costumes. While their performance of Bre, Petrunko is captivating on its own, this version, embellished by musician Andre Antunes, amps its intensity level up to 11.

There I Ruined It cruises into port with more musical mayhem. This hilarious creation imagines what Titanic’s My Heart Will Go On would sound like if it was recorded by Blink-182 instead of Celine Dion. By some miracle, the emotional love theme also works as a pop-punk track. Perhaps it’s because they were both wildly popular in the late 1990s.

Motown meets prog metal in the latest musical mashup from Bill McClintock. The track combines I’ll be Around by The Spinners with Queensrÿche’s Jet City Woman, transforming the hard-edged ballad into a smooth stone groove – with a little help from Steely Dan’s Do It Again.

(PG-13: Language) It’s Always Sunny’s Frank Reynolds is perhaps the most repulsive character in television history. Now, thanks to eli_handle_bwav, he’s left Philly to bring his unique brand of freak to Night City. And if you’ve got problems with the degenerates of the underworld, Frank’s your fixer.

(PG-13: Language) Many of us gave candy and flowers for Valentine’s Day. DJ Cummerbund showed up with a different sort of gift. His mashup of Mötley Crüe’s Kickstart My Heart and The Pointer Sisters’ I’m So Excited is the perfect combo for anyone craving a sweet ’80s treat instead of chocolates and roses. That DMX cameo really spiced things up.

In 2022 and 2023, DJ Cummerbund toured with K.C. and the Sunshine Band. As a thank-you gift to these giants of the disco era, he created the ultimate tribute track – a marvelously mashed-up version of That’s The Way (I Like It) performed by EVERYBODY. If you can’t get enough, K.C. and his band are touring again in 2025.

They just tell you that you’re on your own… don’t you know that you’re toxic? Remix master Bill McClintock is back with another wonderfully unholy mashup. Combining the sounds of Britney Spears, Black Sabbath, and Mötley Crüe makes absolutely no sense, but we can’t stop dancing to this one.

This hilarious mashup video from Alternative Cuts imagines what it might be like if Breaking Bad’s Tuco Salamanca was a contestant on Squid Game. The psychopathic drug dealer has no problem going toe-to-toe with the Pink Guards, and he thinks the cookies are tight! tight! tight!

(PG-13) Each December, editor Sleepy Skunk creates an epic compilation of trailers to celebrate the year’s films. The 2024 edition includes moments from blockbusters like Deadpool vs. Wolverine, offbeat indie flicks like Hundreds of Beavers, creepy horrors like Late Night with the Devil. It also includes its share of big-budget flops like Argylle.

You could have it all, my empire of dirt… in a one-horse open sleigh. There I Ruined It took Johnny Cash’s voice from his cover of Hurt, and set it to the tune of Jingle Bells. Trent Reznor’s lyrics are decidedly darker than those of the cheerful holiday classic, but we’re still adding this one to our Christmas playlist.

Each year since 2009, DJ Earworm has created a musical mashup to celebrate the top pop hits of the past year. 2024’s remix, titled Blame it on the Whiskey, includes bits and pieces of 25 songs from hitmakers like Ariana Grande, Chappell Roan, Post Malone, Sabrina Carpenter, SZA, and Teddy Swims. FWIW, his 2009 remix was called Blame it on the Pop.
