Okay, so here's the deal. Our regular Bollywood Monday feature has been gangs of fun, but our resources are starting to feel stretched a little thin. So, starting today, we're going to occasionally mix in a new feature, Mashup Monday, to highlight those weird song/video mashups that seem to be the life's blood of YouTube. The Bollywood clips aren't going away for good, they're just going to share some time with the mashups.
Like, for instance, this one. Who knew Mr. Spock loved Bad Brains?
Here are some favorite mashups. The videos themselves aren't always anything special -- usually just A+B edits of the videos for the source songs -- but the music is good.
From Arty Fufkin comes "Creole Pour Moi" (Elvis Presley's "Kid Creole" + "Plastic Bertrand's "Ca Plane Pour Moi" + a dash of Banana Splits):
Thriftshop XL gives us "Lillybye" (Lily Allen's "Smile" + The Cure's "Lullabye"). And actually, I think the two source videos work really well together, too:
Party Ben's "Boulevard of Broken Songs" (Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" + Oasis' "Wonderwall" + Travis' "Writing to Reach You" + Aerosmith's "Dream On"):
And finally, my favorite, "Crazy Logic" by Arty Fufkin (Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" + Supertramp's "The Logical Song" + Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me). This is actually a fan video, with all the visuals coming from "Pink Floyd's The Wall." Odd choice, perhaps, but it works:
