mashup

A pitch-perfect mashup of Flight of the Conchord's "The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)" and Jay-Z's "Hola Hovito." I haven't been this excited about a Jay-Z mashup since The Grey Album.

Cultural archivers and performers CDZA are at it again, this time with a mashup of hit songs for wooing women from every year since 1955. If the song's from the year you were born, there's a good chance you were conceived to it. Which hit were YOUR parents listening to?

Singing Obama comes in THREE different flavors: Bieber, LMFAO, and Carly Rae Jepsen!

Someone was bound to do it eventually, but luckily the person who did it could do it well. Scenes from Woody Allen's latest movie, Midnight in Paris (nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming Academy Awards), are spliced with Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as in Paris." Note the neat dialogue switch at 2:30 if nothing else.

It was inevitable, but it's actually decent -- give it a listen.

'Anna Kendrick Lamar'

That haunting string sample sounds good with everything. It's the new Guile's Theme.

Okay, so it's not really duet, but this mashup of the Doors' "Riders on the Storm" and Blondie's "Rapture" blends together so seamlessly, video and all, that it might as well be. Check out Blondie's awkward early-'80s attempt at rapping as a bonus.

A mashup of Adele and Daft Punk that's been going around. It's by DJ Carlos Serrano and combines Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" and Daft Punk's "Something About Us."

The saxophone solo at the end of M83's Midnight City might sound like a retro throwback, almost like the sonic version of Instagram, but it's easy to forget that the saxophone was once a synonym for cool in popular music. To jog your memory, here's Midnight City's chorus mashed up with a video from a time when even the president played saxophone.
