I love “Mashups” – a remix of two or more songs that sometimes sound better than the originals.  Here are a few of the best I’ve heard:

• Sugar Shop – 50 Cent “Candy Shop” blended with Archies “Sugar Sugar.”  I like the combination of classic pop with new rap.
• Tripper Trouble – Beastie Boys “Triple Trouble” meets Beatles “Day Tripper.”  One of many excellent tracks off of DJ BC’s Beastles album.  An excellent mashup, unfortunately no longer available from his site.
• Smack my Orinoco Flow up – Enya “Orinoco Flow” remixed with Prodigy “Smack my B*tch up.”  A crazy dance mix remixed by Lenlow, great to work out to.
• Sweet Home Country Grammar - Nelly “Country Grammar” with Lynyrd Skynyrd “Sweet Home Alabama”.  Another perfect blend of old and new.  Remixed by DJ Mei-lwun.
• Never Feel Good – Cake “Never There” vs. Gorillaz “Feel Good Inc.”  Two odd but incredibly complimentary songs, almost like a duet between the two lead singers.  Remixed by Party Ben.
• Boulevard of Broken Songs – Green Day “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” vs. Oasis “Wonderwall” vs. Aerosmith “Dream On,” with some Travis mixed in for good measure. Another popular mashup by Party Ben.
• Elevator Doorbell – White Stripes “My Doorbell” with Outkast’s “Elevators” and Wings “Let ‘em in.”
• No One Takes Your Freedom - Scissor Sisters, Beatles, Aretha Franklin, George Michael.  A symphony of mashups, courtesy of DJ Earworm.

More later, probably under the “Mashups” tag on this site.
