Mashups

Funny or Die knocked it out of the park with their mashup of Halloween and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, in which everyone’s favorite bowtied goofball really loses his mind and starts stalking Jamie Lee Curtis. We always thought there was a little something “off” about the guy.

(PG-13: Language) ThunderCats’ malevolent antagonist channels Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and tells us how much he likes it raw in this hilarious edit of cartoon footage by swedemason. It makes perfect sense, because Mumm-Ra is a bit of an ODB himself.

What happens when Nelly meets up with Queen? In the hands of musical mashup artist DJ Cummerbund, strange magic, that’s what. Though things start going off the rails when the track starts running backwards at the end.

Is the whole of two memes put together greater than the sum of their parts? You be the judge with this mashup of the iconic startup screen of the Nintendo Gamecube and A-ha’s hit track Take on Me, smooshed together by Fuou Marinas for no particular reason.

Imagine a world where Star Wars and Harry Potter live in the same universe. That’s what David Ariew created with this highly under-appreciated video that sees stormtroopers riding broomsticks, chasing the Golden Snitch, and off to battle the students of Hogwarts.

The guys from Pomplamoose are back with another great mashup, this time combining Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop the Feeling, and The Weeknd’s Can’t Feel My Face into a single seamless track. It’s basically the live equivalent of a dance mix.

We saw Weezer and Pixies in concert this summer, and they were both amazing. Seattle band Tiger Rider thought so too, and decided to pay tribute to this epic double bill with their own seamless mashup of Where Is My Mind and Say It Ain’t So.

Lou Bega takes Monica, Erica, Rita, Tina, Sandra, Mary, Jessica, and the rest of his ladies on vacation with Billy Joe, Tré Cool and the gang, courtesy of the musical mashup master DJ Cummerbund. Seems like a pretty wild trip.

(PG-13: Language) Remixer Eclectic Method gathered up clips from a bunch of great movies and did his best connect their scenes based on words that rhyme. For more movie line rhymes check out Screen Werks’ similar vid.

(PG-13) Film editor Antonio Maria Da Silva of AMDSFILMS presents his latest masterpiece, a single film that combines scenes from classic horrors, thrillers, and other films envisioning all the creepy stories are flowing forth from the twisted mind of The Shining’s Jack Torrance.

It’s Baby Metal meets Johnny Cash meets Randy “Macho Man” Savage meets Jushin “Thunder” Liger in remix master DJ Cummerbund’s latest combo. Yes, it’s this candy-coated concoction is insane as it sounds, and it’s delightful.

Baby, baby, baby, I’m screaming revenge again… Bill Withers’ Use Me and Pantera’s Mouth for War meet up in an insane, yet somehow delightful mashup from remixer Bill McClintock. Guitar solo courtesy of sweaty Teddy Nugent.

Editor and VFX wiz Fabrice Mathieu’s latest mashup deftly combines classic western films with the bug-filled universe of Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers saga. Watch in awe as hordes of creepy crawlers invade the Alamo and meet their makers at business end of a rifle.

How It Should Have Ended envisions not how Avengers: Infinity War should have ended, but instead what it might have been like if a different Disney-owned character was the real bad guy looking to fill up his Infinity Gauntlet.

Avengers: Infinity War includes just about every major MCU character yet. But Marvel could have added many other characters under their parent company’s umbrella to round out the cast even further. Nerdist envisions what that movie might have been like.

Two songs enter, one song leaves. Remixer Bill McClintock seamlessly combined Van Halen’s Jump with AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, resulting in the perfect interplay between two of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Tricked out in its current full band incarnation, Pomplamoose has been cranking out some great tracks, the latest being this unlikely, but just perfect mashup of Foster the People’s Pumped up Kicks and Radiohead’s Everything In Its Right Place.

YouTuber Spacepig22 worked a little video magic on a classic scene from Seinfeld, replacing Jerry Seinfeld with Barry B. Benson, the fuzzy little insect he portrayed in The Bee Movie. It would be fun to see an entire episode done this way.

Mylo the Cat presents another Muppet mashup, this time giving Miss Piggy the perfect song to sing, Rihanna’s 2012 megahit Diamonds. We’re pretty sure that Piggy would throw a major hissy fit if she found out her tiara was made from Cubic Zirconia.

Mashup maker Happy Cat Disco brilliantly combined House of Pain’s Jump Around with Meghan Trainor’s No Excuses, resulting in a track that will have you dancing right there in your office chair. The trippy imagery was plucked from the Disney classic Dumbo.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the best and most absurd comedies of all time. But to prove that the way a movie’s trailer is edited can dramatically change the tone of a film, Testudo Aubreii turned the Python’s flick into a serious, and action-filled period piece.

Musical mashup master DJ Cummerbund continues to knock it out of the park with another amazing track. This time he managed to blend sounds from Stevie Wonder, Disturbed, Styx, Will Smith, and Randy “Macho Man” Savage into a rock-funk-pop symphony.

We must have missed that time in the 90s when Seal did a duet with Chris Cornell. But here it is. Or at least according to DJ Cummerbund, who once again has melded together two completely disparate songs and turned them into a totally new and awesome thing.

What happens when you take a pint of Britney Spears, a cupful of Rob Zombie, and 4 tablespoons of The B-52s and puree them in the blender? Musical magic in the hands of the massively talented DJ Cummerbund, that’s what. A tasty treat that’s anything but toxic.

RocketJump mashes up two very different gaming franchises as Shadow the Hedgehog invades the world of Shadow of the Colossus. The result? A game we’d very much like to play, with twisty stone loop de loops and hulking creatures spewing golden rings.

Designer Isaac Moores (aka Izac Less) created this fun animation which provides typographic lyrics to Madeon’s dance masterpiece Pop Culture, using logo graphics based on just that – pop culture. Don’t know where they’re all from? Watch this version of the clip.

Multitalented musician Elise Trouw turns in an wonderful live-looped mashup of Foo Fighters’s 1997 hit Everlong by Bobby Caldwell’s 1978 jazz-soul classic What You Won’t Do for Love. There’s a lot of talk about the “it” factor in the music biz, and Elise has got “it” in spades.

Watching the late, great Bruce Lee take on an opponent is already pretty rewarding, but after seeing this image, Patrick Nan decided to amp things up even more, by adding a lightsaber (and lightsaber nunchucks) to a classic martial arts fight sequence from Fist of Fury.

DJ Cummerbund has done it again. This time, he’s made a miraculous mashup of Pearl Jam’s Jeremy with Kenny Loggins’ Footloose, with just a sprinkle of Proud Mary tossed in for flavoring. The resulting track is shockingly upbeat given its subject matter.

Puddles Pity Party masterfully performs a smoosh-up of Electric Light Orchestra’s classic Telephone Line and Adele’s hit Hello, applying his smooth and buttery voice to two tracks about reaching out and touching someone.
