(OK, i see video a little too wide for width of column, oh well.)
I have been resisting putting up memmey stuff, cos that's elsewhere, but this"mashup" is stuck in my head, has been on and off for a few days.



It's the Mario Kart-ness of it that appeals to me, I imagine drumming turtles on a beach.

Another couple of interesting ones.

Intergalactic, (Beastie Boys)

White Wedding (Billy Idol)

I would like to hear these played by bands in the siilar style. What I find interesting about the Microsoft Songnmith software is the way it takes the vocals and pairs them together with melodies that are totally unrelated from the original context of the song. Especially in the White Wedding Hillbilly mashup. Does it in a way that a human wouldn't once they had head the original and were being influenced by it.

Reminds me of the idea behind Nouvelle Vague's reimaginings of new wave songs. (e.g. Their Love Will tear us Apart)
