Mashups are great.  It’s all about the novelty of hearing a song in an entirely different context, bringing attention to different elements that you wouldn’t notice.  True, a lot of mashups are nothing but functional dancefloor fillers, but there are also some really good works of art in the mashup world.  Here are some examples.  They are both from mix CDs but still highly listenable as songs.

The Beatles vs Kraftwerk – Tour Da Elenor Rigby (Soulwax Remix)

Chicken Lips – Zeefungk Clap Slap ft Ciccone youth – Me and Jill
