Awesome Mashups

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.

Barbenheimer: Making Barbie + Oppenheimer for Real

Barbenheimer: Making Barbie + Oppenheimer for Real

With Barbie and Oppenheimer hitting theaters on the same release day, the unlikely duo has become the meme power couple of summer 2023. Artist Steven Richter went one step further and imagined the two movies as one in his hilariously warped, very short film. The best part is watching how he made it.

Eminem as a Talking Heads Song

Eminem as a Talking Heads Song

About the only thing Marshall Mathers and David Byrne have in common is that they both had hit songs. But what if the Talking Heads had written a song about Eminem’s career and his rhyming abilities? It might have sounded something like this track by Nick Lutsko. So put your orange door hinge in storage and hit play now.

Sculpting Yoda-Hulk

Sculpting Yoda-Hulk

After making a BB-8/Hulkbuster mashup, Adam of North of the Border imagines what it might be like if two of our favorite green characters combined forces. The figure features the muscular body of the Hulk with Yoda’s head, hands, and feet. Smash or do not smash. There is no try.

If The Mandalorian Was The A-Team

If The Mandalorian Was The A-Team

The Mandalorian has some great action. So did The A-Team. So Nebulous Bee thought it would be fun to combine the two. This edit reimagines the credits for the Star Wars series in the style of the 1980s hit series, with Bo-Katan, Paz Vizsla, The Armorer, and Din Djarin standing in for Templeton Peck  B.A. Baracus, Hannibal Smith, and Howling Mad Murdock.

I Was Made for Boogie Wonderland

I Was Made for Boogie Wonderland

While most people think of KISS as a hard rock band, they also recorded adult contemporary and even some disco tracks. Bill McClintock took full advantage of the latter to create a mashup with Boogie Wonderland, resulting in a new 1970s supergroup known as Earth, Kiss, and Fire. Listen carefully, and you might also get a little taste of Wild Cherry.

DJ Cummerbund: The Single Lady Blitz

DJ Cummerbund: The Single Lady Blitz

Ready, Steve? Andy? Mick? Now put your hands up! DJ Cummerbund combined two tracks that have been dying to be mashed up for a long time – Beyoncé’s All the Single Ladies and Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz. If this isn’t playing in every dance club in the next two weeks, there’s something wrong with the universe.

The Kiffness x Lonely Cat: Sometimes I’m Alone

The Kiffness x Lonely Cat: Sometimes I’m Alone

If you’re a cat left home all day, you might feel lonely. Musician The Kiffness spotted a video of a seemingly forlorn house cat and wrote music and lyrics for the kitty’s melancholy thoughts. Seriously, he’s only got two crumbs of food left! Kiffness fans and cat lovers can grab the track on Spotify and Apple Music on 6.16.23.

DJ Cummerbund: Oohwa Mahna

DJ Cummerbund: Oohwa Mahna

Get up, come on, get down with the Muppets! DJ Cummerbund cleverly combined Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s Muppet Show version of Mahna Mahna with scratchy wails of Disturbed’s lead singer David Draiman to give us another musical mashup we had no idea we needed so badly.

Can’t Stop The Distance

Can’t Stop The Distance

Hungry? Enjoy a slice of Cake wrapped in spicy Red Hot Chili Peppers in this amazing remix from DJ Cummerbund. The track perfectly melds the song Going The Distance with Can’t Stop, and sprinkles in a dash of R.E.M.’s It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) for flavor.

Dabadeeteque

Dabadeeteque

Ice age coming. Ice age coming. Blue are the people here. Remixer Willam Maranci is a master at combining songs that don’t seem to belong together. One of our recent favorites is this combo of Radiohead’s climate change chant Idioteque and Eiffel 65’s Eurodance hit Blue. It’s as unlikely a successful pairing as ham and pineapple.

System of a Tunak Tunak Tun

System of a Tunak Tunak Tun

System of a Down is known for its ferocious guitar shredding and staccato vocals. Musician Andre Antunes replicated their guitar sounds and melded them with the similarly rapid-fire vocals of Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi and his energetic 1998 Indi-pop track Tunak Tunak Tun. We’ve struck internet gold, baby.

Wes Anderson’s Star Wars

Wes Anderson’s Star Wars

There’s no question that Wes Anderson has a distinctive visual style. Curious Refuge envisions what sort of movie we might get if the auteur filmmaker was invited to direct a Star Wars movie, titled The Galactic Menagerie. Though we’re disappointed that Jason Schwarzman isn’t playing C-3PO. (Thanks, Rob!)

All Blue Star

All Blue Star

When There I Ruined It isn’t laying waste to popular songs, he’s experimenting with them like Victor Frankenstein in his laboratory. He created this lovable monster by grafting the DNA of Smashmouth’s All Star onto Eiffel 65’s Blue (Da Ba Dee). Get ready for a bad case of earworms.

If The Smiths Sang a Radiohead Song

If The Smiths Sang a Radiohead Song

Radiohead and The Smiths are both English bands, and they’ve both taken up political and social causes in their music. But sonically, they couldn’t be more different – until now. Musician Desmond Doom took the restrained sounds of No Surprises and gave it the jangly guitar and vocal stylings of This Charming Man.

Johnny Cash Sings Gangsta’s Paradise

Johnny Cash Sings Gangsta’s Paradise

Musician Bob Strachan has the uncanny ability to sound just like Johnny Cash. But he doesn’t just use his talents to cover Johnny’s songs. In this case, he took Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise and turned it into a moody country song along the lines of Folsom Prison Blues.

Skateboard + Bike = Skatebike

Skateboard + Bike = Skatebike

Mountain bikes are fun to ride, and so are skateboards. So is riding twice as fun if you combine the two? Master of weird bikes Sam Pilgrim put the idea to the test by grafting skateboard trucks onto the front fork and rear end of his bike. It works surprisingly well, though we think he should have welded the pedals in place.

Me and Coolio Down by the Schoolyard

Me and Coolio Down by the Schoolyard

DJ Cummerbund is at it again, making musical remixes that should make no sense yet work brilliantly. This time, he took Paul Simon’s Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard and replaced Julio with Coolio. Funny enough, Simon’s original music video starts with a rap by Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie.

Mr. Rogers x The Animals

Mr. Rogers x The Animals

There is a house in this beautywood; they call the rising sun. There I Ruined It proves that there’s no ruining Mr. Rogers with this wonderful, but woefully short mashup of Won’t You Be My Neighbor? with The Animals classic House of the Rising Sun. We wonder what he could do with It’s Such a Good Feeling.

If Sum 41 Performed Livin La Vida Loca

If Sum 41 Performed Livin La Vida Loca

Musician Todd Barriage specializes in pop-punk and emo remakes of popular songs. Among his covers is this version of Ricky Martin’s mega-hit Livin La Vida Loca as if it was also the Sum 41 track Still Waiting. He nailed the sound, but Todd’s look is more “Weird Al” Yankovic than Deryck Whibley.

Doctor Who and Company Sing the Time Warp

Doctor Who and Company Sing the Time Warp

Time and space travel is a common theme between Doctor Who and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so it makes sense that the Time Lords might know the song Time Warp. Doctor Who Sings edited together footage which makes it look like the Doctors and other characters were singing along with Riff-Raff, Magenta, and Columbia.

Pakistani Metal

Pakistani Metal

Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was beloved for his incredible vocal talents and songwriting skills. Now Andre Antunes has taken part of his performance of Akhiyan Udeek Diyan and blessed it with a heavy metal companion track. The result is a sublime mix of two very different cultures. Turn on captions for the translated lyrics.

Poker Face: Western Swing Edition

Poker Face: Western Swing Edition

There I Ruined It is back to demolish another popular song – this time taking on Lady Gaga’s hit song Poker Face, and transforming it into something straight out of Texas in the 1940s. If you’re into steel guitar, fiddle, and jangly old pianos, this one is for you.
