Wonderful - all three of these are :). Even if this one is driving me crazy cause everywhere I go I hear this chord progression (it's the Boulevard of Broken Dreams/Wonderwall progression, also about a million other songs it turns out...)

Figured if anyone was still here, they'd probably appreciate this: Leah Kate - My Bed vs The OneUps - Halo theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjizeBqWX5w I made a mashup years ago of that OneUps track vs the original Kylie Minogue song that came out good but not perfectly - when I heard this new super-produced pop song had come out that was clearly riffing on it, I knew I had a great opportunity to make a new super-produced mashup out of it. It's definitely better with the Halo theme than without it. :D

5 instrumentals + 3 part vocal counterpoint epic baroque rock breakup mashup :D

Not that anyone else is likely to see this, but I figure DCT might see it and get a kick out of it: a random French hip-hop group made a track in 2004 that sounds identical, so I put them together. ::D (Originally in 2011, but I cleaned up a bunch of stuff. Plus in 2011 we didn't know about Hard Times.

Manau - On Peut Tous Rêver vs. DCT - Iced Out Nine Twenty Two (Sonic the Hedgehog 3) vs The Jetzons - Hard Times Ice Caps/Jetzons again - fixing a bunch of things wrong with mashups I made ages ago, 2011 in this case. Obviously any mashup of IceCap Zone/Hard Times is cheating, since they are actually the same song, but fun fact, by what appears to have been complete coincidence, this random French hip-hop group accidentally reproduced the backing track of Hard Times almost verbatim 20 years ago, as well. Now with much cleaner vocals and The Jetzons (We didn't know about The Jetzons in 2011. :D) Probably nobody but me is this much of a nerd as to care, but I think it's interesting, haha. https://youtu.be/lH1zcLOYfso

Wow, that was pretty stupid of me, haha. Yes, I did make it, technically you could have Googled it and found something on Youtube with that title and author, not that I'd expect people to. Several months later while posting something else, finally noticed comments of my lack of link. It has a link now.

Because this needed to exist: Bust a Move (the SNES game theme vs Young MC - Bust a Move) This was one of the first things I made , an absolute aeon ago (2008). I've been on a fixing spree of old stuff I thought was good but imperfectly done - levels, flow, quality of the original material and the extraction, etc, and then actually posting them to youtube where hypothetically anyone might ever see them, this year. :)

Luls, not that anyone's watching this, but I just updated my Bust a Move mashup and fixed a bunch of stuff. I've been on a fixing old stuff fix recently. :D

The Jetzons - Hard Times v MkVaff - Ice Caps Remix (OCR #4400) v The Dynamics - Seven Nation Army (instrumental reggae cover of Eurythmics) v Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (instrumental) So... if you're a video game music nerd, which you probably are or why are you here - you probably know that the Sonic 2 Ice Caps theme was originally a vocal song by an 80s band called The Jetzons, a band I literally only know for that one fact. And if you're a mashup nerd like I also am, you're probably also aware that Seven Nation Army and Sweet Dreams are also basically the same song. But did you know that all four of those songs are basically the same song?

Figured a few people here might enjoy this one, too - been driving me crazy until I ironed out enough of the kinds, ever since I heard the vocals last month and thought "not bad, but it should really be in a minor key, and have infinitely more of a connection to vampires".

Btw, I finally also posted them on youtube - two part harmony with Miley Cyrus's Flowers, and the three part counterpoint version

Not that anyone's likely to see this, a jillion years later, but a jillion years later, this became the silly mashup I was proud enough about having done, that it got me to start posting things on youtube I made on youtube where people could maybe actually see them - this song, which absolutely kicks, in two part harmony with Miley Cyrus's Flowers, and then as soon that happened, I ended up making a three part counterpoint version that also included I Will Survive... it is *weird* how well it works...) Anyway, serious amount of respect for Trenthian's vocals, too, haha. Or it wouldn't still have been floating around my head, 15 years later.

@Trenthian This is basically for you, haha. Cause I think you'd love what I spent my long weekend doing, cause after I was doing, it was bugging me that I knew it was missing exactly one additional string section from somewhere. Once I realized the lyrics also fit perfectly... well, now it's a 3 part counterpoint. (I edited a link in, to the updated version)

I was hoping you were still around, too. Haven't talked to you in multiple lifetimes, but that song still gets stuck in my head. Really gonna be now! P.s. I might not be done with it yet, I might be adding another layer of instrumental and a third counterpoint, there is, incredibly, another different famous song with related lyrics, and the same key and similar tempo.

An absolute aeon since the last time I've posted here, but this one has been bothering me for months and I couldn't rest until I did it justice - as soon as Flowers started being ever-present as soon as it came out, it started bugging me that I knew it sounded exactly like an NES song. Then I started remembering lyrics that went with it, I was like, oh yeah, Trenthian did a vocal cover, that's right, it was pretty epic, too. Then, after scouring the internet for any other similar instrumental version, but obviously coming up empty because Trenthian's style is definitely his own (and, again, epic), I realized: a couple years ago I'd seen someone post a link to an interesting site claiming to be able to separate vocals and non-vocals completely, using AI. So I tried it, and dang if it didn't work. So thanks, Trenthian - I think this is the coolest mashup I've ever done. Flowers in my Armor (Wizards in my Mashup) Miley Cyrus - Flowers (vocals) v Trenthian & Brothersynthe - OC ReMix #1665: Wizards & Warriors 'Wizards in My Armor (Warrior in My Long Johns)' [Wizards & Warriors Title] (instrumental, and vocals sometimes) edit: I'm sad how few people will probably ever see this, cause I'm just doing it for my own amusement... but I made another version, that includes Gloria Steinem's I Will Survive in a significant capacity as well as the above. Flower in my Armor (Wizards in my Mashup) (I Will Survive version) I can't stress enough how well this works. I've never done a mashup with real counterpoint for the majority of the song, let alone where both vocal tracks also have their own independent harmonies, but these songs fit perfectly (I mean, I cut up the vocals and slotted them to fit, but the chord progressions.) On top of that, by complete accident, it's a breakup song about not needing the guy, vs a song that, through no fault of its own, is a guy singing about a woman as a literal object to be retrieved for a reward (again, nothing against it, it's a straight-up homage to an old platformer where "save the princess" was just what you did in those games, I'm just saying, the lyrics work together.) So I figured I had to share it with anyone else who might still be around, haha. I should really post these on youtube where people could actually find them...
