Mashin' Jackson - The Untold Story
- a Voicedude mashumentary -

A new genre is born: the 'mashumentary'. It creates an alternate universe in a mock rock doc format a la Woody Allen's "Zelig". This 'mashumentary' attempts to explain how & why Michael worked in collaboration with rock/pop's greatest artists throughout history. The whole thing is, of course, just a set-up to help explain mash-ups as plausible....

“Black Sister”

As Jacko’s ex-father-in-law says: ”...thankyouverymuch!”

Jacko brings Eddie along to sing with the rockers from Down Under.

"Beat It (All Night Long)"

featuring:
AC/DC - You Shook Me (All Night Long)
Michael Jackson - Beat It

Here is another version that does the titular lyrical trades in the choruses -

“Beat It (All Night Long) [More Jack’n Mix]”:

“Tango Freak”

featuring:
“Super Freak” – Rick James
“El Tango del Pecado” – Calle 13

The sexiness of a tango meets the freakiness of Rick James...

be afraid.....be very afraid.....

Here's the first Country / R&B mashup I've ever done and I was surprised how well it worked with this particular acapella.

It started out as a hard-to-find instrumental and when I introduced them to each other, it was a match made in mashup heaven. There's even another version below with a bit more vocal interaction.

"Strange Diggity"

I haven't posted for a while, so let me get back in the race with the first of seven in a one per week schedule.

I just got married!

And since I have once again braved nuptials, I started thinking about how many ways I could blow this wonderful thing. Number one on the list: cheat on her! So I decided on some mashup therapy to prevent any temptations that should ever come my way.

"It Wasn't Yours"

featuring:
"I'm Yours" - Jason Mraz
"It Wasn't Me" - Shaggy

Comments are always welcome -
but let's keep it on the down low...

This one's for the kids!

Pairing Sean Kingston's take on "Stand By Me" with a classic from a boy band seems natural - if only they hadn't been released over a decade apart!

"I Want Beautiful Girls"

featuring:
"Beautiful Girls" - Sean Kingston
"I Want It That Way" - Backstreet Boys
+ some background vocals from Ben E. King...

Make sure to share this, kids!

Sometimes vocals take on a whole new context when backed with another track - that's one of the things that makes mashups so interesting!

In this case, the emotional power of Snow Patrol's breakout hit brings a new life to the eighties agnst classic.

"Chasing Trains"

featuring:
"Chasing Cars" - Snow Patrol
"Train In Vain" - The Clash

"you SAY you love me....."

If James Hetfield had been from Minneapolis, perhaps he might have bumped into His Purpleness. At some point they might have collaborated on something. Perhaps even Prince's musical booty call, adding some hard, crunching guitar to the hard core funk. This could've been the result...

"Erotic Sandman"

featuring:
"Erotic City" - Prince
"Enter Sandman" - Metallica

It features a cool, early synth instrumental from Billy Preston along with a classic from the Fab Four. Ah, Billy Preston and The Beatles, together again!

"In My Space Race Life"

featuring:
"In My Life" - The Beatles
"Space Race" - Billy Preston

Enjoy - it won't 'crowd your space', man!...

From the inauguration to the Apollo...

"Stand By Me Forever"

Another classic rock meets classic rap.

"I Really Want It All"

When keeping it real goes horribly wrong.......

"What Eleanor Likes"

featuring:
"Whatever You Like" - T.I.
"Eleanor Rigby" - The Beatles
..and a quote from 'Plan Nine From Outer Space'.

whatever......

This one is featured on the "Santastic Four" compilation CD for Christmas 2008 (http://santastic4.com/). It turns the teen angst rocker into a new holiday classic!

"It's The Little Things"

featuring:
"Christmas Canon" - Trans Siberian Orchestra
"All The Small Things" - Blink-182

Available here: http://monstermashup.moonfruit.com/

"Grinnin' Grim Reapers"

Don't be afraid.....be VERY afraid!

One of my favorite new groups matched against one of my least favorite performers. Hey, at least they've found some common ground with this one. And if you listen closely, you'll even hear a pseudo-eco friendly message here: ("...glaciers melting in the dead of night; why don't you do something?").

"Supermassive Something"

"Supermassive Black Hole" - Muse (vocals, guitar)
"Do Something" - Britney Spears (instruments, some vocals)

.....just DO it!

Another version of the above mash-up using the dj monk remix.

Since the two parts of this mashup seem to currently be the most overused songs,
I figured I'd put the two songs together.

....just to annoy you!

"I Kissed Leona Lewis"

featuring"
"I Kissed A Girl" - Katy Perry (acapella)
"Bleeding Love" - Leona Lewis (instrumental)

I dare you to make until the end! I double-dog dare you!

Knew these two would work.....someday! Thank God for Rock Band and Guitar Hero and the like for helping to bring back Classic Rock parts.

"I Just Need To Hold Your Hand"

featuring:
"I Want To Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles
"Just What I Needed" - The Cars

If Ric and Ben had been from Liverpool a bit earlier...

I've always wanted to put these two together: that iconic line dance from the 70's with the latest line dance from the new millennium. Slip on your dancing shoes and get in line...

"The Hustle Slide"

featuring:
"The Hustle" by Van McCoy
"The Cha-Cha Slide" by Mr.C (aka DJ Casper)

Mobile DJ's: I've already tested this with kids (who approve) and older audiences (who prefer it to the original). THIS mix makes the Cha Cha Slide more palatable to older audiences who are not crazy about the original's bass drone! So......PLAY IT!

Here's what always seems to happen: what seems to me a natural pairing seems odd or near impossible to others. So it goes with this one. When making something like this, it's perhaps better to have a BONZAI attitude. If it makes you feel any better, think of this as an aural California Roll.

"Turning Sukiyaki"

featuring:
"Turning Japanese" - The Vapors
"Sukiyaki" - Kyu Sakamoto

Arigato!

The Bill Doggett classic from 1956 and Jacko's best from 'Bad' together at last. Another Oldies meets Old School.

"The Way You Make Me Honky Tonk"

featuring:
"The Way You Make Me Feel" - Michael Jackson
"Honky Tonk, Parts I & II" - Bill Doggett

HEE-hee!

If you ever wanted to mix together pumped-up R&B, hard rockin' country, and folk-pop - then this is what it might sound like:

"Ride A Black Horse"

featuring:
"Ride A Black Horse" by KT Tunstall - lead vocals, acoustic
"Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" by Big & Rich - electric guitars, some BGVs
"Men In Black" by Will Smith - beats, bass, keyboards, some BGVs

yee-HAW??

A new version of a mashup originally done in 2005 with Crowded House's vocals over tracks by Marvin Gaye. The original had it the other way around.....

"Don't Get It Over"

featuring:
Crowded House - "Don't Dream It's Over"
Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On"

(the original version from 2005 is below)

......from 2005:

The original version of a mashup between Crowded House and Marvin Gaye. Aussie ballad meets Detroit soul.

"Let's Dream It's On"

featuring:
Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On"
Crowded House - "Don't Dream It's Over"

Hey, now!

The Hardest Working Man In Show Biz lives again with the tracks of the Fine Young Cannibals upbest finger-snapper.

No worries......it's all good!

"Good, Good Thing"

featuring:
"I Feel Good (I Got You)" by James Brown
"Good Thing" by Fine Young Cannibals

......get down on the good foot!

Just in time for Mother's Day a pair of mashups to celebrate the greatest lady in your life: the first is a bouquet of tunes of various sources extolling the virtues of dear ol' mum:

"The Mother Of All Mashups"

"Mama Used To Say" by Azure
"I Love You Mama" by Mr. Vegas
"Take Ya Mama Out" by Scissor Sisters

plus bits & pieces of Queen, Temptations, Abba, Styx, and Stephen Lynch.

Get mom some flowers and then take her out dancing.....to THIS!

The second in my Mother' s Day duo, this is a heartfelt tune for those who cannot be with mom, for one reason or another. Even if you get emotional during this one, I'm sure she's still very proud of you!

"Another Song For Mama"

featuring:
"A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men
"Mama" by Genesis

thanks for everything, ma.........

It started out pretty much for laughs, but friends tell me this is actually 'something'. What? I don't know - but although it is merely a rap over a groove, it does seem to fit pretty well. And it might even induce a smile...

"Super Mario Booty"

featuring:
"Miss New Booty" - Bubba Sparxxx
"Super Mario Bros." themes

...now stop throwing those turtle shells at me!

A double slice of cheese using divas Cyndi & Cher. Maybe one needs an extra dollup of estrogen to enjoy this, but here it is anyway...

"Girls Just Wanna Believe"

featuring:
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper
"Believe" by Cher

Here's a fun one - the quickest mix I ever made.
It should getcha rankin' and skankin' with da D Child. G'WAN!

featuring:
"Say My Name" - Destiny's Child
"One Step Beyond" - Madness

Comments are always welcome....

Thanks to access to a really great acapella, I have once again set the Fab Four up as a dance band. Some Euro / Syntho / Techno Pop cheesiness with the lads from Liverpool - just in time for the tax season!

"Just A Little Tax Crush"

featuring:
"Tax Man" - The Beatles
"Jellyhead" - Crush
"Ooh Ahh, Just A Little Bit" - Gina G

My very talented daughter Brittany (known to family and friends as 'Bitty') got obsessed with the Across The Universe soundtrack and recorded an acapella version of "Because" by The Beatles on her Arizona Stop MySpace website. I took her acapella and mixed with the original Beatles tracks, and the result is a new group: The Bittles!

The Bittles - "Because"

featuring The Beatles
and Brittany 'Bitty' Hammond

A very UN-happy Fifth Anniversary!

I can't believe we are still in this unjust profit venture we call the Iraq War. When I made my first post here one year ago, I never dreamed we'd still be stuck in it. So while holding my peace high (and lowering the index finger just for 'W'), I present this year's version of last year's mashup.

It's called "War Bombs '08"
...and it mashes the following songs:

"You Dropped A Bomb On Me" by Gap Band
"War" by Edwin Starr
"War Pigs" by Black Sabbath
"Bombs Over Baghdad" by Outkast
and now, "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil

We have all suffered through FIVE years of this piece of Shi'ite war! Since music not only has the power to entertain but ALSO to make us think, I dedicate this with total love, respect, and support to the troops who've been unnecessarily put in harm's way.

Comments are always welcome....

Peace.

A naughty holiday tune about a perennial philandering philanthropist. When you think about it, Clarence Carter is the original 'bad Santa', and Jacko is still 'Bad'.

Clarence Carter - Back Door Santa
Michael Jackson - Black Or White

Ho, Ho, Ho's!

"we've been waiting for a long time......"

There's only a few shopping days until Christmas. So Santa gathers all the elves together for the final surge pep talk.

Bus Boys - "The Boys Are Back In Town"
Jackson 5 - "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I took "Channukah Rap" by Disney Records' children's recording artist Craig & Co. and used it as the base jam, and then added "Jingle Bells" by the Three Weissmen along with cuts from "Get Your Dreidel On" by Pudie Tadow, "Hannukah Song" by Adam Sandler, a children's version of "O, Channukah", and the classic "Harvey And Sheila" by Allan Sherman. The resulting combination could make you plotz! Oy! I should lay off the Manischewitz!

First imagine an unexpected visit during a cold winter's day from a old friend who was taken away from us so many Decembers ago....

Now imagine the warm, fuzzy kum-by-yah feeling of John Lennon's perennial "Imagine" spread over a light, jazzy seasonal flavor of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", with a little help from Rockapella. If Lennon had gone Lounge.......

A quaint and simple saucer of milk, featuring:

"Stray Cats Strut" - Stray Cats
"Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" - Phil Harris & Scatman Crothers
(from Disney's "The Aristocats" soundtrack)
....and a bit of "Here Kitty, Kitty" - Hot Platinum Boyz

me - OW ! !

....from the best soundtrack of the year, may I present:
"Flying Across The Universe"

featuring the instrumental "Flying", and acapella sections from "Let It Be", "Blue Jay Way", "Come Together", "Girl", "Dear Prudence", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "I Am The Walrus", and "Because".

My latest in a line of socially relevant mash-ups with a positive spin:

"What's Going To Change The World?"

featuring:
"What's Going On?" by Marvin Gaye
"Change The World" by Eric Clapton

Plain and simple remix, just like it's simple message......

The Sci Fi / Horror epic contains elements of all FOUR productions of
H.G. Well's classic "War Of The Worlds", including:

"The Eve Of War" - Jeff Wayne's rock opera (with Justin Haywood & Richard Burton)
"The Eve Of War" - the Ben Liebrand remix

"Purple People Eater" - Sheb Wooley
bits of "Space Invaders Are Back" by Joachim Garraud & "Mars Attacks" by Aesop Rock,
plus various soundbites from the Orson Wells, George Pal, & Steven Spielberg productions

A moody excursion into another realm - another dimension - where you might be being watched....

The Cure - Fear Of Ghosts
The Specials - Ghost Town
Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters

"I ain't 'fraid of no......oh, who am I kidding?!?"

A new Halloween mash-up for 2007......

featuring:
Michael Jackson - "Thriller"
Whodini - "The Freaks Come Out At Night"
Whodini - "The Haunted House Of Rock"
Hans Zimmer - "Spider Pig"

Dance while still looking over your shoulder!

I always wanted top do this one:

The Talking Heads' "Life After Wartime" with "Super Freak" by Rick James and "Let It Whip" by the Dazz Band providing vocals.

This Ain't No Disco.....indeed!

Motown oldies from the 60's meets New Wave from the 80's.

"Roamin' The Streets"

"Roam" - B-52s [instrumental]
"Dancing In The Streets" - Martha Reeves & the Vandellas [vocal]
....and a touch of "Do Wah Diddy" by Manfred Mann

Originally created for the online CD compilation "Sgt. Pepper's Midlife Crisis", celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Sgt. Peppers. It's available in it's entirety with artwork HERE:
http://www.mashuptown.com/sgt-peppers-mid-life-cris.html

Evanescence - "Bring Me Back To Life"
The Beatles - "A Day In The Life"

My first reggae mash-up, using two songs with similar themes:
"Don't Worry"

featuring:
"Three Little Birds" - Bob Marley
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin

JAH!

The 70's meets the 70's (and a bit of the early 80's) in this mash-up that pits Earth Wind & Fire Vs. David Bowie - and a smidge of Nana D'Aquini covering Irene Cara.

It's a 'bonus single' on the "Blame It On The Bootie" project found HERE:
http://blog.beat-boot-ique.co.uk/blame-it-on-the-bootie

Feel the funk, y'all.....

Here's one that's danceable and fun, inspired by that YouTube star: Kelly.

"Kelly's Boogie Shoes"

Kelly - "Shoes"
KC & the Sunshine Band - "Boogie Shoes"
(and a bit of Bob Carlisle's "Christmas Shoes")

It's a bit goofy, and should be popular on a dancefloor....

Here's one that's a combination of two classic chill song artists from the 70's:

"Let's Get Into The Mystic"

Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On"
Van Morrison - "Into The Mystic"

Share it with a loved one........

Here's one that's soundtrack-based and downright creepy!

"28 Miles Later"

Eminem - "Lose Yourself" (from "8 Mile" OST)
John Murphy - "In The House - In A Heartbeat"
(aka Theme from "28 Days Later" & "28 Weeks Later")

I can just picture Marshall Mathers as a zombie........

A slight reworking of the last mash-up, with some added funk from Cameo for a bigger begining:

"Hide And Smell Up"

Imogen Heap - "Hide And Seek"
- Vs. -
Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
- Vs. -
Cameo - "Word Up"

My newest mash-up, made in one day after I finally found out what the song was they used in the season two closer of "The O.C." and recently parodied on SNL. Inspiration struck immediately. The result is as follows:

"Oohh, Whatcha Smell?"

Imogen Heap - "Hide And Seek"
- Vs. -
Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

My entry in a RHCP contest.
Born and raised, baby!

"Dani California" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"California Love" - Roger Troutman
"Under The Bridge" - RHCP
"Californication" - RHCP
"California Dreamin'" - Royal Gigolos
"California" - DJ Quik

I wanted to find a perfect match for this 'pella and I think I was very fortunate when I tried it out with these tracks, in particular this remixed version I found. Better than anticipated, really.

It's called "Falling In September"

It's The Beatles "I've Just Seen A Face" over Earth, Wind, & Fire's dance classic "September". There's also two versions: THIS version and a Club Mix with a longer intro and outro for playout mixing.

My newest mash-up, using Tom Jones Vs. Counting Crows Vs. Mike Jones - just in case you were 'jonesing' for something different.

A sports themed mash-up using various musical artists & movie soundbites - too many to mention individually.

Released at the perfect time of the year for sports: we just finished with March Madness and The Masters, just got started with baseball, getting into the play-offs for hockey and basketball, and there's also football (NFL draft, Arena football, and of course soccer).

With that in mind, I present this tree and a half minute barrage of sports music, soundbites, and sound effects I call the "Ultimate Sports Drink". It's dubbed the '07th Game Mix because I made the original version in 2001 and have now reworked and remixed this newest version for 2007.

A 'chilled' mash-up of "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel.

A mash-up of "Nowhere Man" by The Beatles Vs. "Beast Of Burden" by the Rolling Stones.
