Cheesy vs edgy musical mashups!

[SuperMillionaire]

I tend to notice that when you put a cheesy music act (such as bubblegum pop stars) up against an edgy act (such as gritty rock bands), most of you will most likely like the edgy act better. But what about when you mash their music together? Here's an example for you:

YouTube - Linkin Park ft. Miley Cyrus - Party.Of.Authority (mashup) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK4dTY7c0Po)

That's right: It's "Points of Authority" by Linkin Park mashed up with "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. In a rather strange way, I actually think it's pretty cool. What about you? And do you have any other "cheesy-vs-edgy" mashups that you like? If so, post 'em here!

[Shoeberto]

Eh. I like mash-ups a lot of the time but those two songs in particular don't really mesh that well.

[Shattered Dreamer]

The person that created that musical abomination deserves a fate worse than death. I hate that Miley Cyrus song, god I hate Miley Cyrus but that mash up made her voice so painful I almost vomited all over my laptop:mad2:

[Moon Rabbits]

Rammstein vs. Cookie Monster is secretly the best mash up ever. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZeciX-3wfs&feature=PlayList&p=BC624C7996FDBB00&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=48)

No need to be so demonically hateful.

And that Rammstein vs Cookie Monster mashup was quite amusing.

Are you and I listening to the same hormone imbalanced (she sounds like a boy when she speaks & come on see really isn't attractive) Britney Spears esk car crash waiting to happen teenage pop star as I am? Miley Cyrus is just god awful she makes my ear drums want to commit suicide:tongue:

Rammstein vs Cookie Monster on the other hand is proper gold:D

And this just confirms my hunch that the majority of you like edgy, gritty music over cheesy, bubblegum music.

I sure as hell hope not:tongue:

[Shauna]

Depends entirely on the situation. :p I enjoy listening to most music, so if I'm just sitting listening to music anything is good. But when it comes to dancing I would much rather have some cheesy bouncy music, it's entirely more enjoyable to dance to. For me at least.
Mash ups can be good. A fairly enjoyable one I heard was Lily Allen/The Cure. It was surprisingly listenable. I'll see if I can find it.

[SuperMillionaire]

Good for you, Shauna. When you find that mashup, show it to us.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Mashups are indispensable for any serious party scene. I will now plug some of the best mashups around. I know which mashups are the best from the pixels and from seeing quite a few mashups in my time.

YouTube - Testarossas For Everyone! - Super Mash Bros (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mYnEg8UTxQ)

YouTube - I Wanna Know Now - Xaphoon Jones Remix (MGMT & Bob Marley) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR9ZFL1okUg) <---this could very well be the best of the bunch

If you like have ever enjoyed Zelda in your lifetime, you would be doing yourself a service by listening to the following:

YouTube - Team Teamwork - The Ocarina of Rhyme: Clipse - Virginia (Lost Woods) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XD4EjeXe1A)

YouTube - Slim Thug & Mike Jones - Still Tippin' (Great Fairy's Fountain mix) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DplMlB9wQSo)

YouTube - Team teamwork-busta rhymes-dont touch me (Gerudo valley) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8TgQbki1Ik&feature=related)

The Ocarina of Rhyme is seriously divine.



YouTube - Linkin Park ft. Miley Cyrus - Party.Of.Authority (mashup) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK4dTY7c0Po)oh and btdubs, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENYsanXR0pQ) is clearly the best mashup involving miley cyrus.

[Moon Rabbits]

That Bob MarleyxMGMT mashup sorely disappointed :(

[NorthernChaosGod]

Ocarina of Rhyme was amazing. I downloaded the whole thing. :cool:


And this just confirms my hunch that the majority of you like edgy, gritty music over cheesy, bubblegum music.

Or people just like good music over :bou::bou::bou::bou:. Just a thought.

[SuperMillionaire]

Personally, the music I don't like is anything involving severe profanity, although I can still tolerate milder words such as damn. Then again, I would still rather not have any swear worlds in the lyrics at all.

ITRP, the majority of the mashups you posted contained severe language. In their first two albums, Linkin Park didn't curse; they only started on their third album, and was only limited to just three songs on the album. I hope they drop the cursing on their next album (or at least change the lyrics a little bit like I've seen Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan do on their most recent albums). Please try to find less-profane mashups, and for mashups that do contain explicit language, warn me; I do not like to hear explicit language in music.

[charliepanayi]

We'll remember to protect your poor easily offended ears next time.

One of my favourite oddball mashups was Dolly Parton/Royksopp on the excellent 2 Many DJs record As Heard on Radio Soulwax Part 2.

[SuperMillionaire]

Thanks. Nothing personal against any of you, but I just don't like profane lyrics.

And do you have the YouTube link of that Dolly Parton/Royksopp mashup?

[DK]

Linkin Park are about as edgy as a soggy donut. That mashup is pure cheese and cheese.

[I Took the Red Pill]

ITRP, the majority of the mashups you posted contained severe language.ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ok?

[SuperMillionaire]

Please, ITRP, try not to post anything with explicit lyrics. Nothing personal against you, but if you were truly a concerned parent, I don't think you should allow your children to listen to such profane music.

It's a good thing he isn't a parent, let alone a concerned one.

edgy - nervous, apprehensive; : creatively challenging; cutting edge; leading edge; : on the edge between acceptable and offensive; pushing the boundaries of good taste; dodgy

There is nothing creatively challenging about "I AM SO NUMB AAAAAAAH MY PARENTS DON'T UNDERSTAND ME.

I Do Brooklyn When I Want - Jay Z. ft Little Wayne x Xiu Xiu Mashup (http://www.zshare.net/audio/50902698acd1248e/). I'm probably biased but this is my favorite mashup. Ever.

[I Took the Red Pill]

While I have him rip a bong at 7 years old as he is playing the Hot Coffee mod from GTA: San Andreas.

[DK]

What makes you say that?

Linkin Park is about as sanitised and commercially produced as you can get, they are basically the Backstreet boys with guitars. There is nothing edgy about them at all.

When it comes to being edgy, LP are edgy in the definitions in which I highlighted above.

I thought those were the qualities you avoided in music?

And I assure you, Linkin Park is neither pushing the boundaries of good taste (see: Marilyn Manson circa 1996) nor on the edge between acceptable and offensive - I don't think Linkin Park has offended anyone ever at any time.

[SuperMillionaire]

Oops, I actually meant "angsty" or otherwise raunchy (subject matter as opposed to language) lyrics with furiously-loud guitars. As long as it doesn't contain profanity, it isn't offensive.

[Moon Rabbits]

There ya go.

[SuperMillionaire]

Okay then.

Here are some more oddball mashups for you.

YouTube - Shakira ft Linkin Park & Lil Wayne - Give New Divide To Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVuTJaWtcKQ&feature=related)
"Give it Up to Me" by Shakira and Lil' Wayne + "New Divide" by Linkin Park

I saw this a while back, and I still watched it 4 times in a row. It just doesn't get old.


And this just confirms my hunch that the majority of you like edgy, gritty music over cheesy, bubblegum music.

One antagonistic response = majority? Seriously?

(Also before you jump on me with hilariously exaggerated assumptions, I like both styles of music.)

Oh wow, another one like me who likes both edgy and cheesy music...

[Momiji]

Whoa there. I didn't say I liked the 'mashup'. I can't stand Miley Cyrus. At all. And if you're so squeamish about profanity in music, I don't think you can safely say you like anything truly 'edgy'.

Furthermore, I'm hardly interested in music where the main demographic is for kids under 13.

[eestlinc]

I don't see it on Youtube but the Mike Jones vs Britney Spears "Tippin Toxic" mashup is gold.

[Moon Rabbits]

Kate Bush vs. Placebo + Insect Sex. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZlLIRC6_Zo)

I actually don't really hear Kate Bush's version in this ... like at all. BUT~~~~~ The insect sex makes up for it completely.

edit: Oh there she is right in the ending.

I'm interested in music intended for the very young to the very old and everyone in between.

And when exactly did artists start cursing in their songs, and why and how did it become so commonplace today?

[Momiji]

And when exactly did artists start cursing in their songs, and why and how did it become so commonplace today?

I have a feeling they started as soon as the words were invented. I don't find any of it to be offensive though. They're just words.

[SuperMillionaire]

Well this wasn't commonplace back in the mid 20th century; I started hearing it infrequently in the 1990s, but how did it get so common now?

[Momiji]

People started to grow up and get over it?

[SuperMillionaire]

The RIAA seriously needs to start being tougher on musical content like the MPAA is on movies and the ESRB is on video games.

To me, all profane music should spawn a new music genre called Hardcore Extreme Adult Dauntless music, where nothing is off limits. If you want to listen to profane music, go to the H.E.A.D. music section. And require ID to buy HEAD music. They do that in Australia; you must be 15 or older to obtain an album with explicit lyrics.

[SuperMillionaire]

What exactly are you talking about?

[Momiji]

Or, you know, you could just get over it and stop acting so childish when profanity is involved. You remind me of my little brother, whose eyes used to get all wide in shock whenever he heard a bad word on TV.

Now he just laughs.

He's 11.

[SuperMillionaire]

No, I will not. To me, profanity has nothing to do with maturity. Swearing does not make you mature; it makes you nasty.

[Momiji]

You're right. It has absolutely nothing to do with maturity. However, they're just words.

Maybe you should stick strictly to music for kids.

[SuperMillionaire]

Why did people get over profane lyrics from the 1950s to now?

And I like a lot of old 20th century music. Most (but not all) of today's music is just grime, raunch, and trash. How could people have gotten over that?!

[Tavrobel]

If you're not trolling, I feel sorry for you. If you are, 8/10.

He's definitely trolling. I would say 7/10, if only because he seems to be the kind of guy who doesn't shout an interjection when he slams his knee on the bottom of a table.


Why did people get over profane lyrics from the 1950s to now?

They haven't. The only difference is that you're here, and that your ignorance is more accessible to the general populace.

[Momiji]

Lowered standards-- the same reason artists such as Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and pretty much everything you see on MTV these days are considered 'music' by the masses. That's the majority.

Oh, and auto-tune.

[Tavrobel]

Where's my Michael Vick auto-tune?

[SuperMillionaire]

How many times have you seen this black-and-white sticker that reads "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content"? It means that this music ONLY FOR ADULTS. They should also state "listener discretion is advised" like they do on TV shows with darkly "mature" content in them.

Back in the day, musicians made music that was family-friendly, suitable for all ages, young, old, and everyone in between. But today, musicians make music aimed largely at the middle age (20s-40s), ignoring young children and elderly senior citizens. I've talked to tons of senior citizens time and time again who tell me that today's music is trash, and I agree with them! True quality music was made back in the 1900s, but today, in the early 21st century, most music is just grime, raunch, and trash. Enough is enough!

If people have been tough on video game content from the very beginning, why not the same for music content?!

[I Took the Red Pill]

Well then it's a good thing opinions still exist, and it's also a good thing that music "made back in the 1900s" still exists, so you and all the elderly folk of the world can listen to that instead of finding a modern sound that suits you, isn't it?

[Momiji]

Plenty of times. I have many albums with Parental Advisory stickers on them.

I bet that it was just as prevalent back then, just underground and out of sight/out of mind for the easily offended masses.

As for the elderly taste in music:

Because the music industry can possibly see how stupid the censorship and ratings of video games are? ...nah, they still allow talentless musicians to exist, too.

[SuperMillionaire]

Well, I think that if blood, gore, and nudity made controversy in video game content, then why doesn't profanity make controversy in musical content?!

[Momiji]

Because you can't show blood, gore, and nudity in music.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Because there is more substance to an argument about simulated killing and spraying body parts on the wall than an argument about hearing a curse word in a song. Like seriously, take a step back and look at what you're taking offense to.

[SuperMillionaire]

I have nothing personal against any of you who like trashy music, and I don't hate any of you for liking it; I'm just saying that perhaps the music industry should make a separate section for explicit music and request ID from listeners who want to buy those products. The rule is commonplace in Australia; you must show ID that confirms that you are at least 15 years old in order to buy music with explicit content.

[Tavrobel]

alright fine dude, it's your opinion, you're allowed to have it. i'm gonna stay on topic and post another mashup, but if you are offended by profanity don't click it. k?

Uh... yeah. It's called 'if you look like a kid, you won't be sold a CD with a Parental Advisory sticker on it'.

[SuperMillionaire]

Thanks, ITRP, for acknowledging that I have nothing against you personally, and for warning me about the most recent mashup that you just posted. Perhaps I'll make another topic about this discussion/debate over cenorship of music and get back to the original topic here. I'll try to go find some more oddball mashups soon.

And Momiji, that's not strict enough. You should be required to show ID.

[Momiji]

Why?

[Tavrobel]

And Momiji, that's not strict enough. You should be required to show ID.

Like one of these?

http://shotpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/mclovin.jpg

[SuperMillionaire]

Yes, Tavrobel, like that. It's the same with video games and movies; when you go to a movie theather, you have to show ID in order to watch an R-rated movie, and video game stores require you to show ID in order to obtain an M-rated game. The same should go for music.

[Momiji]

But M-rated games and music with some profanity are hardly on the same level.

[SuperMillionaire]

Why is there more of an argument over video game content than on musical content?

[Momiji]

Because there's more content in M-Rated games to rot the minds of children (and pathetically impressionable 20somethings) such as blood, gore, sex, violence, and so on than just a few naughty words in what would normally be perfectly acceptable music, even in your eyes-- as you've proved by saying you like Linkin Park, even if there is minimal profanity in their most recent album.

[SuperMillionaire]

I didn't get Minutes to Midnight, but I have Meteora and Hybrid Theory, and I also found their more recent songs on movie soundtracks, such as "What I've Done" on Transformers 1, "New Divide" on Transformers 2, and "Leave Out All the Rest" on Twilight. None of those three songs contain any profanity. I also liked "Shadow of the Day," which also did not contain profanity. The only three songs with profane lyrics were "Given Up," "Bleed it Out," and "Hands Held High"; the last of which was not released as a single.

Let's move this debate to the other thread I just created and get back to the original topic here. More oddball mashups coming soon!
