Don't Cha Wish They Were Still Around?

Here is another song from a mashup artist who used to do his thing back in the day but by the present day, seemed to vanish off the face of the Earth, or at least the mashup world.

It is Sam Flanagan. The only info I have on him is in this random forum post. It's a shame he vanished, given that he obviously had some positive press at the time. This song is Don't Cha Beat It, which combines The Pussycat Dolls and Michael Jackson; you should be able to figure out on your own which two songs were used. To me it's another case of a mashup making a previously intolerable song something that I can digest. Really, I thought that Don't Cha was annoying and stupid (no offense to the writer of the song... Cee-Lo!) Combining it with one of Michael's most famous songs was a very wise move.

By the way, there's also another version of the mashup, where Aggro1 (hopefully he'll return to the mashup world one of these days) took it and modified it. No offense to 1, but I prefer Sam's original mashup just a little bit more. You can view 1's version here in this YouTube video.

Here is my upload of Sam's original mashup.

I'll be back on August 1st with another mashup.

This Is How We Doobie, Part 2

A *little* late, but hey, it so happens that the Good Blimey mashups page is up again (although beware that sometimes it may be down), so from there you can download the mashup that puts together the music from What A Fool Believes to the rapping of This Is How We Do It. Kenny Loggins (not to mention that crappy Michael McDonald) have never sounded so cool. Yeah, I prefer the earlier Doobies.

To find the tune on the Good Blimey music player, it's in Volume 1. To download it, use the arrow at the right. Left click it. To download it, use the "save as" feature under "file" and it should work... at least if you're using Firefox 2. If you're using something else... but the page also has instructions on how to download songs.

I'll be back on Friday the 25th with a new mashup to spotlight.

This Is How We Doobie, Part 1

Yeah, this is the song that I should have put up when it was around 4:20 time, but alas, I don't think I found it until after that date.

Here is another song from a mashup artist that was doing his thing a few years ago, but apparently isn't involved in the racket anymore. It is DJ Jay-R, a.k.a. C.H.A.O.S. Productions. I know he is (was?) from Oakland, but that's about it for info.

Oh fudge, I thought that the Good Blimey sight that I found this (and many other) tune on would still be up, but it apparently vanished off the face of the Earth. Sigh. I guess I'll finish this late Tuesday night. For now I'll whet your appetite by showing you a YouTube video of the tune that I'll upload myself for download. Yes, it's Montell Jordan vs. The Doobie Brothers!

Check Back In 24 Hours

n/a. Long story, but I'll have something up in about 24 hours time.

Too Hot To Give It Up

Here's a song that combines two 70's artists. I'm sure you've heard of one of them, but the other you are most likely less familiar with.

The song is DJ Riko's Too Hot To Give It Up, which is easily found on his Tunes page. You have the acapella of Got to Give It Up, by the great Marvin Gaye, with the music of UFO's Too Hot To Handle. UFO is obscure these days, but from what little I heard of them, they're pretty cool. I don't know why you never hear them on the radio. At least this way you can see that they're pretty damn cool, and you may want to hunt for their songs. It works rather well with Gaye's vocal.

I'll be back on Sunday the 13th.
