  • Monday Morning Mash-Up Madness

    So have you heard of this DJ Hero video game?  It's a game along the same lines as Guitar Hero and Band Hero however the instrument you use is a DJ's turntable as well as a crossfader, stream buttons, and effects dials.  I think this game will blow Guitar Hero out of the water.  The one cool aspect is that some songs from Guitar Hero are playable on this game and they can be broken apart i.e. you can use just the vocals or just the music.  It is possible to make your own mash-ups with this game. Just think of what I will be able to share with you in the future.  Oh and they have a microphone option so that you could make your own raps.  God...I still remember laying my old Asteroid game on Atari.

    This is "Womanizer" by Britney Spears mixed with "Sex On Fire" by Kings of Leon.  Wow...just wow...I have loved Kings of Leon since Skinny Wolf told me about them because of their constant rotation on the Target in-store music station.  They just keep getting better as do Ms. Spears. 

    This song combines "This is Why I'm Hot" by MIMS and mashes it with "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard.  When that song by MIMS came out I absolutely detested it.  If I remember correctly it was featured in a Madden Football game.  I immediately disabled that song because I just could not stand it.  My hatred intensified whenever a white kid with a popped collar started rapping that at the bar.  If only MIMS had made this song then my hatred would have been love because this song is AWESOME!  I still remember one of my roommates in college went to a Def Leppard concert.  He took a bag of sugar into the concert and had a sign that said "Will Pour On You"  and he also tucked one of his arms inside his shirt. 

    Here's another Britney mash-up.  It takes her "Slave 4 U" and mashes it with the single most annoying song in the universe, "Holla Back Girl" by Gwen Stefani.  OK it's not a bad mash-up and I have pictures of Britney from that video which could be her hottest to date.  Oh and I can't remember for the life of me which Britney video that she wore the tight red leather PVC outfit....I need closure.

    20 years ago today.  I still remember that night.  My family was glued to the TV watching with tears in their eyes.
