Mashups

(PG-13) Editor Sleepy Skunk is back with his annual supercut of movie trailers, paying tribute to the the wide range of cinema splashed up on screens of all sizes over the course of 2019. Like every year, there were some greats and some stinkers, but the trailers inevitably thrill. Keep an eye on his Tumblr for the full list of films.

Sesame Street’s The Count sings along with NY polka-punk band Gogol Bordello’s track Start Wearing Purple, a song about growing old and going senile, which seems rather ironic for a vampire who is likely immortal.

Caio Rossi of R3DUX Studios cut together this great mashup of clips from The Simpsons, set to Pink Floyd’s 1979 classic Comfortably Numb. The Portuguese subtitles somehow make it feel even more like a depressing foreign film. His Simpsons x Futurama version of the band’s Time is also worth a watch.

Musical mashup and meme maker William Maranci managed to assemble this brilliant mashup just in time for Halloween, somehow blending together Ray Parker Jr.’s theme from Ghostbusters with Nine Inch Nails’ industrial classic Closer.

Musical mashup maestro Bill McClintock issues his apologies in advance for this hilariously weird melding of The Spice Girls and Slipknot, with a dash of The Black Crowes tossed in for extra seasoning. All we really want is to zig-a-zig-aaaaaaarrrrgh.

After taking us back in time to 1979, The Hood Internet dips their toe into the decade of big hair, Pac-Man and Rubik’s Cubes. As the 1980s kicked off, the transition to new wave and power pop is in full force, but disco isn’t quite ready to give up the fight.

This awesome clip from The Hood Internet rewinds time 40 years to one of the most notable moments in the history of music, combining 50 of the biggest songs of 1979 into one monster mashup. The year was was one of transition, as disco’s glimmer started to fade, giving way to new wave, punk, rap, and a rock resurgence.

Pomplamoose presents another fantastic arrangement as lead singer Nataly Dawn is joined by Sarah Dugas for this mashup that combines The Eurythmics Sweet Dreams and The White Stripes Seven Nation Army. Between the funky rhythms and soulful vocals, it’ll have you dancing at your desk for sure.

Editor Zapatou combined scenes from 25 science fiction classics including Gravity, The Martian, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moon, Apollo 13, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars and more into a single movie where everything that can possibly go wrong does.

Musical musician Bill McClintock once again works his wizardry, combining two songs that you’d never expect to work together into one song that does. Listen up and enjoy as Dire Straits’ Money for Nothing melds brilliantly with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’ Shop Around.

Lewis Wake has taken a variety of clips from movies, and swapped out the music with other songs that play at a similar number of beats per minute. Some of our favorites are Back to the Future with Beastie Boys, Napoleon Dynamite’s dance with Cher, and Blues Brothers with Kaiser Chiefs.

The consistently entertaining and enthralling Pomplamoose presents a fun recording that seamlessly blends Smash Mouth’s unkillable hit All Star with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ tracks Can’t Stop and Californication. That opening bass riff is still one of the best ever.

Mashup master Bill McClintock managed to combine the funky bassline and guitar riffs of David Bowie’s Fame with the rough-edged metal vocals of Pantera’s 5 Minutes Alone. The resulting track is like watching a spectacular accident that you can’t look away from.

“I’ll never rotoscope someone on a bicycle again.” Pixel Riot might have found it frustrating to put together this mashup of Jurassic Park and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, but his editing and compositing efforts certainly paid off in this hilarious 29-second clip.

What happens when you crash some test dummies, reject all americans, swing a sledgehammer, smash some pumpkins, body slam opponents, and fly like an owl in the city? You’ll get DJ Cummerbund’s latest, a “song who got into an accident and then became more songs.”

Yes, folks, we really did land on the moon. But there are still people who believe it was faked. Fabrice Mathieu’s clever short film mashes up footage from the Apollo 11 launch preparations, various interviews and movie clips to make it look like Stanley Kubrick directed it on a soundstage.

We love a good musical mashup, and this is one of the best we’ve heard in a while. 888sentz posted this track by Bass211, which perfectly combines Stevie Wonder’s Superstition, Cypress Hill’s Insane in the Brain, Run-DMC’s My adidas, and a dash of Beastie Boys’ an open letter to new york.

Remix magician DJ Cummerbund is back with another mashup that shouldn’t work, but does. He tossed Depeche Mode, The Turtles, Britney Spears, Gunhild Carling, King Kong Bundy, and Randy “Macho Man” Savage into a blender to create his latest amalgamation.

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 maker Bill McClintock presents his latest masterpiece, combining Queen’s We Will Rock You, Sly Fox’s Let’s Go All the Way, The Temptations’ Shakey Ground, Metallica’s Sad But True, and The Jackson 5’s ABC into a single party anthem.

(PG-13: Language) Filmmaker and editor Fabrice Mathieu has outdone himself with this epic movie mashup, combining The Blues Brothers and Men In Black into an thrilling new adventure about two ex-cons on a mission from god to take down the alien scum of the universe.

My, my, my, we ain’t too proud to beg. Bill McClintock’s latest musical mashup combines the motown sounds of The Temptations with the wailing vocals of ’80s hair band Great White. However wrong the idea may seems, it comes together brilliantly.

Everybody’s rockin! Get up! Everybody’s gonna move their feet! Remix artist DJ Cummerbund brings us another unlikely pairing: KISS and The B-52s, two groups at their peak of popularity around the same time, but each with something very different to bring to the table.

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.

(PG-13: Language) Avengers: Endgame looks pretty intense. But you know what would make it even better? If the movie were cast with Deadpool in every role, that’s what. Mightyraccoon! is here to scratch that itch with this cleverly reworked version of the trailer.

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.
