Gimme Heavenly Freaks

I have been really enjoying a few Rolling Stones mashups lately. I have been especially loving Beto Pedroza's remix of the song "Heaven". I pretty much fall asleep to it every night. As well as multiple plays during the day.

Cupid Stunts

Tuesday was the anniversary of Al Capone's most notorious stunt ever. So let's all celebrate with a Valentine's Day Mashacre. I guess I will follow tradition and stick to some fairly typical Cupid stunts, I mean "romantic" mashups.

First up is a brand new mashup from the usually much less sappy Dj Schmolli (Just kidding, this really is a beautiful piece of work) combining two love songs with the same title.

DJ Schmolli - Beautiful

Here is one with an even higher saccharine content. After all, chocolate is very sweet.

Voicedude - Mars Chocolate
video - mp3 - Bruno Mars “Just The Way You Are” vs Hot Chocolate “You Sexy Thing”

Here is another mashup consisting of two identically titled love songs. This particular mash has been done by quite a few producers, but DeeM did it first.

DeeM - With AND Without You
http://youtu.be/ySC-2ARqIuc - https://vimeo.com/34157845 - mp3 - U2 "With Or Without You" vs Usher "Without You"

DJ Earworm also did a romantic little mashup with another U2 ballad.

http://youtu.be/aKoBye__Txw - mp3 - U2 "One" vs Beatles "Come Together" vs Diana Ross "Someday We’ll be Together" vs Mariah Carey "We Belong Together"

Fissunix did an excellent little tune with a bit of help from the popular singing TV show Glee.

Fissunix - Video Kiss - mp3 - Lana Del Rey "Video Games" vs Glee Cast feat. Gwyneth Paltrow "Kiss"

Last, but not least, is my favorite love song of all time, remixed by my most favorite remixer. Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" as envisioned by Virgin Magnetic Material.

New Years Boom!

I know that I am more than a little late, but I still intend to go over last year's best mashups. I also intend to do the (extremely) long overdue overhaul of my on top ten list, but that will be later.

No year-end review (especially of mashups) would be possible without mentioning the master himself, DJ Earworm. Once again he has taken the year's Billboard top40 list and mashed it.

This year a has seen a great many others try their hand at making year-end Mega mashups. The best of the the bunch was made by MashupGermany.

And just to round things out, here are a few of the better, more informed year-in-review mashup lists.

Together On The Floor At Night

I've been slacking just a tad here at the Pit. Life happens some times, and I'm grateful it does! In the mean time the mashups keep piling up. DJ Earworm finally released a new video a few weeks ago, and here it is, with a couple of his classics.

It has long been my opinion that Earworm is the King of Mashups. I'm not saying he's necessarily my favorite (although he is one of them), but that he is the most popular and most successful. For example, here's what he wrote on his latest (Mega) Mashup:
"I made this music video mashup to be shown as part of a concert at Wembley Stadium in London for Capital FM's Summertime Ball, where all fifteen of these artists performed." I know of no other mashup DJ's anywhere near this level. Although it would be nice to see more of them achieving something close to this.

The Top 10

It's time for me to once again update my Top 10 list (here's the old list). The list of my ten favourite mashups. This is entirely my own opinion, with some influence from the readers here (but only a little). There only rule I have about making it onto the Top 10 is that the song has to have a video. There are a few songs I really love but don't make it onto the list for this reason. Without further ado, let's get rocking!

First up is a mash that's been in the Pit for awhile now. I'm finally convinced (by you guys) that it deserves to be here on the Top 10.

10. Mashed Bananas (Billy Loves My Hollaback Bridge Humps) - TheGodFather2010



This is another fan favourite, which until yesterday was the most popular mashup in the Pit. It is the video more than anything that makes this one so great.

9. Enjoy Jumping Around - DJ Schmolli



I decided to replace Genesis with Madonna (but still keep Gorillaz). These two mashups have replaced each other a few times now in the Top 10 as I keep flip-flopping over which I like better.

8. Feel Hung Up Inc. - emadonn



It was a tough call, but I replaced Girls On Film Freak Out. This is imho the best of the many great Duran Duran mashes, and one of the best Deadmau5 mashes. Of which there are also many great ones.

7. Ghosts On Film - 10000 Spoons and Celebrity Murder Party



Still on the list is this classic Earworm Mashup. Another reason why he is the best.

6. If I Were A Free Fallin' Boy - DJ Earworm



I think that I like this In Da Club mashup slightly better than the One with Men At Work.

5. Rasputin's Club - Mr Gees



I finally decided to drop A Whole Lotta Sabbath. It was a tough call, but it had to be done. I really do love it's replacement. It's been stuck in my head since I first heard it. Easily the best use of Duck Sauce out there ;-)

4. Flex Gym Duck - Marc Johnce



Another tough call, but I replaced Hive's Wedding. I like this White Wedding mash slightly better. The acrobats are what give it the edge ;-)

3. Twisted Insomniac Wedding - LeeDM101


No change at number two. This is the Mashup that inspired me to start this blog and I still love it. Two of my favourite bands ever. Unfortunately though I did drop Maiden Goes to Bollywood, another one of the many great Iron Maiden Mashups.

2. Exodus Revealed - DJ Lobsterdust



Still at number one is what in my own humble opinion the greatest mashup ever made. DJ Earworm's masterpiece. I love how he took a huge number of songs and made a completely new (and totally awesome!) mashup.

1. What's My Name? - DJ Earworm

New Years Pop!!

Since it is my opinion that DJ Earworm is the world's greatest Mashup Artist. I don't think I am alone in this opinion. He released this year's United State Of Pop 2010 - Don't Stop The Pop on December 28 (I would know, I was viewer 17) and it's now at nearly 4.5 million views. Last years (Blame it on the Pop) has over 32 million views. Mashups are getting out there...

I thought it appropriate to kick off 2011 with a salute to his yearly top-of-the-pops mashups. At the end of every year puts together a mashup of the years top 25 songs (according to Billboard). Starting with 2007. I will list the songs and artist after the videos.

Annie Lennox - Backwards/Forwards

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am a huge fan of Annie Lennox. I am also a huge fan of DJ Earworm, arguably the creator of the world's greatest mashups. This next mash makes a great case for why I love them both. DJ Earworm's homage to the solo career of Annie Lennox. In the process what you are left with is a new Annie Lennox song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fht_R7ELZZs&feature=youtube_gdata_player - Annie Lennox - pretty much everything she's done solo

It's Monday and I'm feeling a little funky. I didn't actually get a day off work, which makes 6 days in a row with another 6 to go. Definitely a funkykinda Monday. You might want to turn your gadar off before watching the video.

What's My Name?

Feeling a little bagged today. In the mood for something a little more soothing. I got just the tune. This is a little more slick than the average mashup. Both the audio and video are professionally done (I think). I can't even begin to list all the songs and artist that are a part of this amazing mix put together by DJ Earworm. Enjoy, I sure do.

If I Were A Free Fallin' Boy

I like Mondays, quite a bit. I don't have to work, and everything is open. For myself, it is a day of rejuvenation and relaxation. Today's song helps me with that. I find it soothing and relaxing. This is true also for both original songs as well.

I don't mind Beyonce, but I am a huge Tom Petty fan. What I especially appreciate about this song is how it fits together lyrically. It's almost more like a duet than a mashup. Enjoy.
