Give It To Me, Baby

As the few Christmas mashups I've heard have not been all that great, instead I'll post another tune where you have two songs combined and their lyrics match each other.

In this case the two songs almost have the same title. DJ Lenlow combined the song Give It To Me by the J. Geils Band with the song Give It To Me Baby by Rick James. Bitch! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Back in October on my other music page I posted the J. Geils Band song and wrote about it. It can be found here, although the download doesn't work anymore. By now we should all know about Rick James and how he was and is famous and infamous even now, a few years after he passed away. To me, the story of how he used to play with NEIL YOUNG is the best.

Anyway, the song, where both Peter Wolf and Rick sing over the J. Geils Band song, is pretty rad. The female vocals from the James song were taken out, thus making what Rick's singing less creepy and threatening than in the original, and with Wolf's vocals, it sounds like a touching song where they sing about their desire to "get with" their woman.

Before you ask, the mashup has no elements of the other popular song with the title, from Timbland and company. although that mashup would be rather interesting.

The song can be downloaded here; it is located in the middle of the page.

I'll be back in about a week's time to post a new mashup.
