Unexpected Mash-Ups

Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let's go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.

As always, thanks to @ablaze for making this series. Lots of people participate in it! Follow the tags to find a ton of good music recommendation.

Today, something I just came across a few days ago. Neil Cicierga is a guy I just discovered the other day. He seems to have his hands in a lot of pies, as many of us do these days, and one of those pies is doing mash-ups. He's released a number of albums at this point, all of them are available for free on his website. I haven't listened to all the songs, but a selection from all his albums. Instead of jumping all over for this post, though, I thought I would pick three from a single album as a good starting point.

T.I.M.E

What happens when you combine YMCA by The Village People with Time by Hans Zimmer? A really interesting song! I can't say this is good, but it is interesting, and that alone makes it worth listening.



Tiger

Another two songs that you probably never thought would work together: Need You Tonight by INXS and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, with a little help from Tony the Tiger.

And just as with the first one, it... kind of doesn't work. I mean it's not good music you are going to rock out too, but it is interesting and kind of fun to listen to. Give it a whirl and see what you think.



Smooth

Now this one is so crazy that it actually works in a weird way. One Week by The Barenaked Ladies, Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson, and Smooth by Sanata, and lots of Harrison Ford. This is kind of genius.

So what's your favorite? If you liked any of them and want to explore the full album, download it here. The other songs are just as crazy as the above!

That last one is pretty dang good! Very nice! I had never heard of this guy before. I'm sure with some more experience he will be putting out some solid stuff.

These were pretty cool man. For me they all kind of work in a weird kind of way. The middle one is maybe the worst, but they're all kind of funky, but maybe a little headache inducing if you listened more than once 😀
