'Safe'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Ooo, I'll have to check out the Best of Bootie. I have a bunch of mashups I got from them. My favorite may be Single Ladies (in Mayberry) by Party Ben (which I see is on Best of 2009). No More Gas by Earworm is another good one.
Fans of mashups should also check out Girl Talk.
Tom, thanks for the link. Best of Bootie is going to get me through today.
Tom, thanks for the link!
There are a lot of good ones there. In addition to the ones mentioned, I'm partial to "Just Stop Believin'" (Lady Gaga/Journey), "It's My Life Confessions, Pt. II" (Bon Jovi/Usher/Glee Cast), and "I Got More Than A Feeling" (Boston/Black Eyed Peas).
I really liked the "Voodoo Sabotage" (Beastie Boys/Prodigy/Pendulum). The Kleptones do good work.
Speaking of mashups, I discovered a mysterious song on my iPod called "No One Takes Your Freedom" with George Michael, Paul McCartney, The Scissor Sisters, ?Aretha Franklin? and some others. It's pretty freaking awesome but I have no idea if it was some Aussie bootleg or if there's an actual album. Anyone heard of it?
Nebermind! It's by DJ Earworm. It really helps to get the title right and not rely on memory.

eta omg, I apologize if I'm just crawling out of the rock I've been under, but this person is amazing [link]

Did the Violent Femmes do a kind of bluegrassy cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", or did I have some kind of auditory hallucination on my way to work this morning?
There's a Lady Gaga/Nirvana mashup, but that's probably not what you heard....

I have a similar Violent Femmes version of "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, so I'm guessing they are part of the same project. And not a hallucination.
