10 Song Mash-Ups That Shouldn't Work (But Do)

Desi Jedeikin

Song mashups are one of my favorite types of viral videos. I'd make a joke about sucky Glee mashups here but that show isn't even relevant anymore, right? 'YES YOU ARE RIGHT!!' screamed everyone on the internet. I especially love the ones that on the surface seem like they totally wouldn't work and yet somehow...are the best ones ever! Here's 10 of those!

 

Call Me A Hole - Nine Inch Nails and Carly Rae Jepsen

Seriously..this works so well it might be my new favorite song. Also it's called 'Call Me a Hole' which is full of all kinds of accidentally naughty LOLS. My favorite kind of LOLs. Because I'm a super mature person.

 

Korn vs. Taylor Swift - We Are Coming Undone

Before the shouting goats were improving Taylor Swift songs, Korn was. And actually if I'm being honest, Taylor Swift is also improving a Korn song here. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its two parts. Hehe... I said whole again.

 

Justin Bieber vs. Slipknot - Psychosocial Baby

Damn you Slipknot! You made me like a Justin Bieber song.  I haven't liked something Justin Bieber-related this much since I heard the news that he so stupidly fainted.

 

Oppa Space Jam Style

WHY DO I NEVER GET TIRED OF GANGNAM STYLE?  It's getting kind of ridiculous. Maybe Psy is a genius.

 

Stayin' Alive In The Wall (Pink Floyd vs Bee Gees Mashup)

THIS. Disco classic meets prog rock opera. I'm thinking we need a whole album mash-up. Get on it Samantha Ronson! Don't let the Lohan affair be your legacy!

 

Nirvana vs Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit up

This one is weird...yet some how creepily perfect. I never had teen spirit, yet somehow I relate to never giving it up. Or maybe I just like the mashup. Yeah, screw you teen spirit.

 

Under the Booty

This is why the internet was invented. To bring booty were it shouldn't  be brought. And here I always thought Sebastian was a leg man.HAHAHAHA ZING!

 

Adele vs Britney - Toxic in the Deep

I actually love both of these songs but would NEVER think to mash them together. But I've been surprised before by the deliciousness of two things I love individually, mashed together. I'm looking at you chocolate chip cookies with potato chips in them!

 

Live While We Die Young (One Direction/Ke$ha Mashup)

Loving this song makes me wanna die. OF SHAME!
