Mashups Waiting to Happen

Scott Hardie | September 27, 2007
When the phrase "rancid garbage" came up in conversation, my colleague Marlon suggested that it sounded like a mashup waiting to happen.

I wonder if someone will mix songs by Fiona Apple, Neneh Cherry, and Bananarama? I bet that'd sound better than a blend of Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Black-Eyed Peas.

Got any others?

It's long past time that someone mixed together recordings by the groups Corduroy, Flannel, Silk, Denim, Suede, Wool, and Fur.

Don't know what it says about my mind that one popped into my head in the shower earlier today:

Damn Yankees & Dixie Chicks

(Love the Who & Why combo, Kris...)

Denise Sawicki | October 7, 2007
My friend Eric had this "Who's on first" style joke he played on a younger friend who asked him what band he was playing.
Eric: "Who."
Friend: "Who?"
Eric: "Yes."
Friend: "Yes?"
Eric: "No, Who!"
etc. I don't know if that means "Yes" belongs in any of these lists though.

Amy Austin | October 7, 2007
Still... pretty funny.

Jacob Martin | October 7, 2007
Queen and Prince =) (and as a stretch you could add Elvis aka the king of Rock and roll)

Jacob Martin | October 7, 2007
My mother saw Great White White Lion and White Snake in concert in 1987 lol she told me after reading this


and adding to Scotts ELO Ac/dc Zappa and Mars volta they should be singing Electric avenue

Steve West | October 7, 2007
That reminds me of when I saw Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult in 1980 billed as the Black & Blue tour.

Joanne Martin | October 8, 2007
Jacob's dad saw Ratt and Poison and they called it the Ratt Poison tour

Steve West | October 8, 2007
That is funny.

Amy Austin | October 8, 2007
It is funny. I think it's actually the same tour that Tony saw... don't know why I (or he!) didn't think of it sooner! Maybe he isn't reading this discussion.

Aaron Shurtleff | October 8, 2007
What's funny is that all the bands of the 80's that I grew up on are being referred to a concerts that people's parents went to! Hey! I get it! I'm old!!!
