Awesome Mashups

Michael Jackson + Judas Priest = Judas Jackson

Michael Jackson + Judas Priest = Judas Jackson

You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Billie Jean. Mashup maestro Bill McClintock took these two very different songs and combined them with Steely Dan’s Do It Again to create the heaviest pop song imaginable. We think Rob Halford’s spiked leather sleeves would look great paired with MJ’s sequined glove.

Combining 22 Marvel Characters into One

Combining 22 Marvel Characters into One

Inspired by Deadpool & Wolverine, James Raiz, aka TheBoxOfficeArtist, thought it would be a fun challenge to combine the two anti-heroes. But he didn’t stop there. After he warmed up his creative muscles with PoolVerine, he mixed in the genetics of 20 other Marvel characters to create the ultimate Avenger.

DJ Cummerbund: Testifireball

DJ Cummerbund: Testifireball

We gon’ boogie oogie oggi, jiggle, wiggle, and dance… and the price is set. Combining Rage Against the Machine’s Testify with Pitbull’s Fireball seems like a match made in hell. Leave it to mashup master DJ Cummerbund to make it work, turning the angry political track into a dancefloor banger.

Unchained Love Machine

Unchained Love Machine

It’s time to put on your best polyester suit and hit the dance floor. Van Halen meets The Miracles in this fantastic disco-rock mashup by Bill McClintock. Come for the music, stay for the outfits.

Radiohead Sings Britney Spears

Radiohead Sings Britney Spears

Karma Police, arrest this girl; her Britney hairdo is making me feel ill. There I Ruined It used AI voice matching tech to make Radiohead’s Thom Yorke sing the lyrics to Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time and Oops, I Did It Again to the tune of Karma Police. It sounds like a terrible idea, but it’s way better than we thought it would turn out.

Korn. In a Can: Still Coming Undone

Korn. In a Can: Still Coming Undone
Korn tries to hold it together and comes out of left field with this mashup of Coming Undone and Portugal. The Man’s Feel It Still. Remixer Bill McClintock deftly melds two musical genres into an earworm of a track that had us dancing at our desks. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Tony Iommi turns up with a guitar solo.

All I Want for Christmas… Is Silence

All I Want for Christmas… Is Silence

It’s nearly Christmas, and Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is burrowing its way into ear canals everywhere. Film editor Fabrice Mathieu created this movie mashup in which characters can’t escape Mariah’s ubiquitous song and music video as it takes over every TV on the planet. Find the list of all 40 movies in the YouTube description.

DJ Cummerbund: Rebel Navidad

DJ Cummerbund: Rebel Navidad

In the midnight hour, I want to wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart. DJ Cummerbund has done it again, mashing up Billy Idol’s hit Rebel Yell with José Feliciano’s seasonal classic Feliz Navidad. With special guest appearances by Rob Zombie, Wham!, and Rush, it’s sure to bring joy to your holiday festivities.

Dirty Deeds Around the Christmas Tree

Dirty Deeds Around the Christmas Tree

Oi! Oi! Deck the halls with boughs of holly! AC/DC and Brenda Lee lock horns, giving us the perfect cure for Mariah Carey’s annual auditory assault. Bill McClintock’s latest mashup deftly blends metal with cheerful mid-century pop, giving us a new classic to add to our Christmas playlist.

If Minecraft was a Rhythm Game

If Minecraft was a Rhythm Game

DoodleChaos imagines what it might be like if Minecraft was a rhythm-matching game like Beat Saber or Guitar Hero. This crazy, mashed-up world is filled with fanciful voxel art characters and sees blocks and objects popping up for players to hit with their tools as they roll along the rails and fly through the air. The track is Fly Away by TheFatRat f/Anjulie.

If Green Day Sang Bowie

If Green Day Sang Bowie

David Bowie performed in many styles over the years, but as far as we know, pop-punk wasn’t one of them. Musician Steve Welsh makes a compelling argument that The Man Who Sold the World would have worked quite well in that genre. His Green Day-inspired cover of Bowie’s classic track works much better than the idea sounds on paper.

DJ Cummerbund: Thonger

DJ Cummerbund: Thonger

You hear a creature creepin’ up behind; she had dumps like a truck, truck, truck. DJ Cummerbund pulls out all the stops for his sublime Halloween 2023 remix. The unholy offspring of Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Sisqó’s Thong Song is not like other songs – and that’s a good thing.

Take the Soul Power Back

Take the Soul Power Back

Musical mashup genius Bill McClintock created a new musical group called James Against the Machine by combining Rage Against the Machine’s Take the Power Back and James Brown’s Soul Power, with a little Atomic Punk energy from Van Halen tossed in for extra flavor.

Daft Punk’s Du Hast

Daft Punk’s Du Hast

Daft Punk made music that was decidedly more joyful and danceable than the industrial metal sounds of Rammstein. That didn’t stop Talkbox Gus from mashing up the two groups. His performance of Du Hast sounds like a bonus track from Random Access Memories. His Daft-ified version of KISS’ I Was Made for Love You perfectly suits the disco-rock track.

Queens of the Backstreet

Queens of the Backstreet

Finnish musician and producer Otu of Moonic Productions did a brilliant job turning the Backstreet Boys track Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) into a Queens of the Stone Age song. Not only did he nail Josh Homme’s vocal style and hard-driving guitar, but he also paid homage to the band’s evolution over their nearly 30-year career.

Pokémon Rhapsody

Pokémon Rhapsody

Open your eyes, look up to the skies, and see… Pokémon! Magik Mike put together this cursed mashup of the Pokémon theme song with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Then Elton John shows up to launch the whole thing into space. Prefer your tracks with more drums? You’re welcome.

System of an Indian Idol

System of an Indian Idol

Singer, engineer, and Indian Idol contestant Nachiket Lele has incredible vocal skills. While his performances aren’t traditional, to begin with, they’re not exactly metal. Musician Andre Antunes amped things up to 11 by adding a System of a Down-inspired guitar track. For comparison, here’s Nachiket’s original, unedited performance.

Hurtin’ U.S.A.

Hurtin’ U.S.A.

There I Ruined It continues to create insane new versions of songs using AI-generated voices. This time, he took the Nine Inch Nails somg Hurt (Quiet) and combined it with The Beach Boys hit Surfin’ U.S.A. The resulting track is something we like to call Summertime Sadness 2.0.

Tears of the Katamari

Tears of the Katamari

Tears of the Kingdom and Katamari Damacy have a few things in common, like gathering objects to create more complex ones. That inspired Studson Studio to combine the two games into one epic diorama. He gathered some characters and Zonai objects from TotK, rolled them into a jumbo Katamari, and then made a combo of Link and The Prince.

DJ Cummerbund: I Teach Sins, Not Dougies

DJ Cummerbund: I Teach Sins, Not Dougies

(PG-13: Language) If Cali Swag District and Panic! At The Disco performed with Enrique Iglesias, The Bee Gees, Men Without Hats, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, David Bowie, C+C Music Factory, and Walk the Moon, they might sound something like this dance track from DJ Cummerbund. So pour the champagne… all we need is a beat that’s super-bumpin’.

Breaking Bad: Civil War

Breaking Bad: Civil War

The airport battle in Captain America: Civil War is one of the movie’s best scenes. Do you know what would make the fight even better? A dose of Heisenberg. Editor TortillaDelta13 did a bang-up job adding Walter White’s alter ego, turning Peter Parker into a meth-cooking Jesse Spider-Pinkman, and using pizza as a weapon.

Combining Famous Brand Logos

Combining Famous Brand Logos

Logos are a big part of companies’ identities, and brands often merge. Brendy Boy played around in Adobe Illustrator to see what might happen if competing brands combined their logos. He started out with McDonald’s + Burger King, then tried combining YouTube + Twitch, Coca-Cola + Pepsi, and Starbucks + Dunkin Donuts.

DJ Cummerbund: My Hips Aren’t Alright

DJ Cummerbund: My Hips Aren’t Alright

This mashup is what happens when Shakira’s gyrating hips get an extra nudge from The Offspring, Megadeth, and Wyclef Jean. DJ Cummerbund opens up his musical blender, fills it with a melange of unexpected ingredients, then pushes the “puree” button as hard as he can. Featuring MC Pee-Wee Herman.
