Rapture Riders

In this upload, I will mention one of the few mashups that ended up later appearing on a legit album from one of the artists involved.

In this case it is a combination from one of the most respected and most popular mashup artists, Go Home Productions, who unfortunately is now retired from making that genre of music. He combined Riders on the Storm by The Doors and Rapture by Blondie for a song called, appropriately enough, Rapture Riders.

What happened was that Chris Stein, the guitarist from Blondie, heard the mashup and liked it so much that the arrangements between both bands were made to have it included on their greatest hits album Blondie Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision, which is quite the achievement. Hell, to tell you how popular GHP's song became, I once heard it during the day when I was walking through Pleasure Island at Walt Disney World in order to get from the Marketplace to the Westside area! There was even a music video made. So, you could say legitimately that this is the most popular mashup ever, at least in terms of numbers of people who have heard a particular tune.

Here is an upload of the song.

I'll be back on Monday night with a new mashup, but in a few hours I should post a new song on my other blog.
