Benny Ain’t a Thang is a hip-hop and pop-jazz mashup – “Money Ain’t a Thang” by Jay-Z and “Yakety Sax” by Boots Randolph, well-known as “The Benny Hill Song.” It’s NSFW and bouncy and happy and oh yes an earworm.

Lithium Spanish Flea is a mashup of Lithium by Nirvana Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert (you know, from The Dating Game. It’s angry grunge vocals over a trumpet and Latin beat. What’s not to love?
Yup, there’s a mashup trend here.

Single Ladies Want Candy is a fun mashup of a couple of pop songs – “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé (2008) and new wave classic “I Want Candy” by Bow Wow Wow (1982), which I just found out is a cover of The Strangeloves (1965). It’s bouncy and fun!

Never Gonna Bring You Down is a mashup of ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down” and Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” I like ELO’s stompy bassline.
Happy Halloween!

A Familiar Tune is a cheesy dance synth-based mashup. I caught the use of Pachelbel’s Canon and the Pet Shop Boys’ “Go West,” but I didn’t catch Puff the Magic Dragon and the Soviet national anthem by myself.

Black Horse and the Tambourine is flatluigi’s mashup of Beck’s “Black Tambourine” and KT Tunstall’s “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.” I like its groove.

I love this song! The Zombies Are Inside Out!! takes Feist’s “Inside Out” & Sufjan Stevens’ “They Are Night Zombies!!” and mashes them together wonderfully. Now, when I listen to the original songs, the absent other part is missed, which is how I judge good mashups.
