Queen vs 50 Cent, finding somebody to love

If you haven’t been introduced to the world of mashups (get in the now, people) here’s a little introduction.

According to Wikipedia, a mashup is a term used to describe a website or web application that seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.

In most cases, a mashup takes a song from one genre and mixes it with a song from a different genre, creating a collision of music that would never be formed otherwise. It’s like musical Twister. Some mashups work but most are ridiculous. The important thing to keep in mind is that, sometimes, “ridiculous” equals entertainment.

This isn’t the best of mashups, but I just love the idea of a flaming 50 Cent. Check the sounds here.

OMG.

I actually did some chair dancing!
(where do you find this stuff???)

I like Queen. Tom likes 50 Cent. *You can't really buy this, right?

No purchase necessary. The downloading is free! Keep up the chair dancing. I hear that the burn-rate of calories beats chasing a two-year-old around the house 20 times, and the hip-to-bust rhthym is much better to keep you in tune for the after bedtime hours.

If you haven't listened to a mash-up - try the Grey Album which is a mash-up between The Beatles White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album. Really, really good.

It's by DJ Danger Mouse - well known for mash-ups.

I actually have that one. It's pretty good, but I just can't get over the "messing" with The Beatles thing. Thanks for the tip tho.
