"Linkin Park & jay z - Numb/Oncore Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() George Formby was born and lived not far from me. I`ve never played uke, only guitar (a long time ago). That vid you posted is cool, i love covers like that where it is completely different to the original. The juxtaposition makes it for me, even if it`s not a style i would normally listen too. Here is one of my fave ukulele covers, you just don`t expect it from the look of the lad but he smashes it.

I don`t really care for s club 7 or MJ but put them together and it puts a smile on my face. It`s still cheesy and naff but it`s fun and you can appreciate the effort that someone has put in to make it work seamlessly. | |||

"I saw an Elvis fronted Nirvana tribute act who genuinely did a mash up of Love Me Tender and the Nirvana track (endulge in non consensual sex with) Me. One of the most surreal yet genius moments I've ever witnessed on stage. In fact he came in to the crowd to do it. https://youtu.be/N5efp6kZ07w" I have to go watching this guy! And I hate elvis lol. Love nirvana though, saw a brilliant Australian cover band. Not "Australian nirvana", i think they were called `teen spirit` but I can`t find them on youtube atm | |||

"Not technically a mashup but probably the first mix of songs I remember wowed me in a club, & what became the basis for the “Stars On 45” run of hits back in the 80’s. A LITTE BIT OF HISTORY: The record turned out to be a 12-inch single called "Let's Do It In The 80's Great Hits," credited to a nonexistent band called Passion and issued on a nonexistent record label called Alto. The medley had its origin in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and it was later revealed that it was the work of one Michel Ali, together with two professional DJs, Michel Gendreau and Paul Richer. Gendreau and Richer both specialised in the art of "splicing," stringing together snippets of music from different genres, in varying keys and BPMs and from different sound sources, at this time still predominantly from vinyl records. The first version of the medley was eight minutes long, and it included parts from some twenty tracks of which only three were by the Beatles: "No Reply," "I'll Be Back," and "Drive My Car." A later extended, 16-minute, 30-track mix of the same medley labeled "Bits and Pieces III" added another five Beatles titles: "*Do You Want to Know a Secret," "We Can Work It Out," "I Should Have Known Better," "Nowhere Man," and "You're Gonna Lose That Girl. Later Jaap Eegermont would bootleg the bootleggers by getting session singers to reproduce the segueways that became the blueprint for the Stars On 45 singles. I still prefer the original bootleg white label of the original, & what was one of the inspirations for me to learn to mix & be a DJ. BITS & Pieces III https://youtu.be/1lUC0sEU3pg " I had never heard of this before mate, will have do do some more reading/listening into this. The 80`s was a massive leap in music where people started to think outside of the usual constrains of what music `should` be. I think the explosion of electronics/samplers/synthesisers gave people a new creativity which spread to all genres of music. | |||

I think the explosion of electronics/samplers/synthesisers gave people a new creativity which spread to all genres of music." Hey I’m older than I look. I remember Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” 12” from the mid 70’s! Anyway here’s a link to the history of the 12” single: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-inch_single Which in turn led to DJ mixing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_mixer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatmatching Nicky Siano (who recently appeared at a gig in Glasgow). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Siano My own influences were the Glasgow Gay Clubs of the 70’s & 80’s, which I then transposed to straight venues. It seemed that the most popular straight clubs had DJ’s that simply played music without any effort whatsoever to mix or “Beatmatch”. The 80’s saw an explosion of electronic music from Georgio Moroder, Patrick Cowley’s work with Sylvester, & Kraftwerk influencing the likes of Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure) & Dave Stewart (Tourists, Eurythmics) & many others to create a new genre with the new technologies that were becoming available. DJ’s such as Ian Levine (Heaven) were also producing new music for the Gay market in the form of Hi NRG, whilst Italian & other European DJ’s produced Eurobeat records. With the Rave Scene of the 90’s there was a profusion of new dance sounds from House & Techno through to Hip Hop & Drum N Bass. As technology becomes cheaper everyone gets better access to equipment where they can splice, sample, mix & produce new sounds mostly by borrowing or paying tribute to their musical heroes. Every era it seems borrows from the past bringing exciting music to a fresh generation, but many won’t even realise they are listening to something with its roots in some other musical heritage. It’s no different with mashups (themselves not a new phenomena as they’ve been playing on MTV for years), which can even bring new songs to the attention of old farts like me! Lol Just be sure that whatever your musical loves may be, there’s going to be a link that might surprise you, & that even today’s DJ superstars who are collaborating with well known singers are paying homage somewhere along the line to musical influences from an older era. So to finish off here’s an old “mashup” or medley from a bygone age: https://youtu.be/1jSXwCUm2-w | |||

"I had never heard of this before mate, will have do do some more reading/listening into this. The 80`s was a massive leap in music where people started to think outside of the usual constrains of what music `should` be. I think the explosion of electronics/samplers/synthesisers gave people a new creativity which spread to all genres of music. Hey I’m older than I look. I remember Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” 12” from the mid 70’s! Anyway here’s a link to the history of the 12” single: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-inch_single Which in turn led to DJ mixing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_mixer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatmatching Nicky Siano (who recently appeared at a gig in Glasgow). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Siano My own influences were the Glasgow Gay Clubs of the 70’s & 80’s, which I then transposed to straight venues.

From hanging about with the older kids in the late 80`s listening to acid house, in the 90`s it was hardcore/techno and in 96 i started going to wigan pier and got more into house music. All of those where filled with samples, 80`s/early 90`s mainly from films/other songs/computer games anything and everything, like this one MESSIAH - 'Temple Of Dreams' https://youtu.be/wKduhUXa0rg. There were also remixes of `normal` songs all over the place DJ Vibes - Oxygen https://youtu.be/pEuS78iXdGo. The pier played a lot of mashup like this mixing eminem superman with sandy b - world go round. https://youtu.be/h1eUBU4FqcQ. Got back into mashups in the mid 2000`s via youtube and then mtv mashups and everynow and then like to loose a few hours searching out new ones, hence this thread. You are right there is definitely something for everyone as any song/genre is fair game and that is what keeps it interesting. | |||
