Day 29: A song that’s a mash-up

I love a good mashup. I don't really like Bruno Mars and I have never seen the Dragon Maid anime, but this song is one of my favorite mashups.

Day 29: A song that’s a mash-up

Never Gonna Wake You Up

I had a couple different mash-ups in mind, came across this one, and loved the effort put into the matching dance sequences as well. Plus, this was just a fun one in general that made me giggle.

Feel It Still, Coming Undone, and a little bit of Into The Void. Don't ask me why but it just works.

Day 29: A song that’s a mash-up

outside of Glee and Pitch Perfect i don't have a lot of exposure to mash-up artists...most of the edm and dance pop music i listen to are covers (not really mash-ups)...when i used to stream on twitch, playing the right music was a big deal, especially with dmca rules...my attention span for songs is also very short, so when i came across these guys and their mash-ups of popular songs i was extremely pleased...this is just one of their collaborations but the rest can be found on youtube if you like it...

Day 29: A song that’s a mash-up

If you don't know what a mashup is (and there's no reason you should), I'm going to get a little explainy. There have been questions in the past about this prompt.

I have made a few of these back in the day( and all of them sucked, heh). To make a mashup, you take the samples of recorded music from one song and mash it together with samples from one or more other songs. So you take one song -- say from Metallica -- scrape the vocals out using audio software, then grab the instruments of a Bryan Adams song, and mash them together. Make some tweaks to speed and pitch so they flow together, come up with a funny title, and boom: mashup.

A mashup isn't using a sample in a song -- Fatboy Slim doesn't make mashups as they take samples and record original music around them. A cover isn't a mashup, nor is a song recorded in another style. Those are awesome, just not mashups. There should be no original music or rerecording -- a mashup is totally constructed from samples of other songs.

Mashups have been around forever (common meter for the win!), but they really blew up in the early 2000s. The hardest part used to be isolating a small part of the recording without taking other pieces, which means you lose some of what you are trying to keep, or it gets all muddy sounding. In the Aughts, they came out with software that was better at isolating individual parts of a song (though the best of those were truly expensive), but most importantly Guitar Hero and Rock Band, which had the files for the various instruments and vocals in separate files that could be sampled without all of the problems of trying to clean out the other sounds. Mashups blew up for a bit

Many were made for the novelty of putting two totally disparate songs together, and that is fun. But some are less a palimpsest and more a collage, making something entirely new completely from other pieces. Kill_mR_DJ works more that way, creating new song and stories. His videos are the same, mashups of other films and the original videos.

Oooh, can I change my song then? By your explanation I didn't pick a mashup.

You're the only person I've seen to link a Mac Glocky song, so noooo! Don't! He rules

Mashups are hit-or-miss, there are no meh feelings when you're making a musical potpourri.

These guys have some of the most incredible ideas and recordings I've ever heard, definitely check out their backlog if you haven't before

Pomplamoose - Mash
Manu Chao - Me Gusta / Gorillaz - Feel Good inc. / Katy Perry - I kissed a Girl

I don't make the rules, nor am I am the genre police. I wasn't making comments on other people's choices, just explaining what a mashup is usually, because it is a little obscure and we have had questions before.

I like yours, but, like @vagrantx, I dig Mac Glocky.

One of the best mashups I ever heard was Born Slippy/ Beat It mixed live, but that's not available.

Another fantastic mashup: Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack /1 Thing - Amerie/Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones by
great Greg Wilson.
