THE BEST Pop Music

“Best ye go, faster than mine arrow…” Hildegard von Blingin’ imagines what pop songs might have sounded like in medieval times. Working with music by Cornelius Link, she revamps the tracks with period-appropriate lyrics and vocals. Here’s her olde tyme take on Foster the People’s 2010 hit, Pumped Up Kicks.

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.

The guys from Pomplamoose perform an excellent mashup of pop hits with the word “Bad” in the title – Michael Jackson’s Bad, Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood, and Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance, with a little bit of Inner Circle’s Bad Boys tossed in for good measure.

Ten Second Songs’ Anthony Vincent is joined by singer Joel “Roomie” Berghult to perform a medley of popular songs, joined together by a single unifying beat. It’s amazing how well they all work despite their original tempos.

Remix maker The Amazing Mashups Mixes combined the theme song from The Simpsons with the Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj pop hit Bang Bang, and it works surprisingly well for the most part. Skip to 0:11.
