  • Monday Morning Mash-Up Madness

    I hope everyone's weekend has been going swimmingly.  Mine was OK.  I had one of the most memorable text conversations before and during part of the Badgers' game, which was a downer.  Oh and I was possibly exposed to the H1N1 from my mom.  We were shopping and she was sick.  She was saying that the hospital where she works told her to stay home and not come in because there was nothing they could do.  I'm freaking out but that is because I tend to be a hypochondriac.  I also had to change a flat tire on my dad's car.  He picked up an Amish horse shoe nail.  Anyway time for music.

    This mash-up takes a song by The Game and mixes it with "Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.  I have to admit that I don't know what the song is from The Game because most mainstream rap hasn't been my thing the past few years.  It's quite possibly because I am getting mellow and all the rappers talk fast about is bitches, money, and drugs.  Also it took me a while to remember the RCHP song.  Have you noticed that all their stuff the last few years all sounds the same?  Sort of like emo Green Day?

    I just got done saying I'm not much into mainstream rap.  I know that this one is "Drop it Like it's Hot" by Snoop Doggy Dogg versus "Voodoo Chile" by Jimi Hendrix.  That Snoop song was everywhere at its peak so I had to hear it.  The Jimi song is quite possibly my favorite Hendrix song.  For the wrestling fans out there, Hulk Hogan used "Voodoo Chile" as his entrance music when he was a bad guy.  OK I'm a nerdy wrestling fan...next.

    I love this one.  The DJ calls it Bootystition.  It combines "Bootylicious" by Destiny's Child and mixes it with my favorite Stevie Wonder song "Superstition".  It really works and is quite funky.  I think Beyonce heard this one before she recorded that song for the Austin Powers movie in which she also had a role.  The songs seem quite similar.

    Video Mash-Up Bonus:
    This video takes a Roman Polanski interview and mixes it with well....you have to see it to believe it.

    We love you, Chevy!
