Mashups have been around for a while now. You take two or more songs and fuse them together so they sound like they match perfectly.

There are some decent ones online.  But, when they’re really well done, you almost wish it was a real song available for purchase or recorded that way.

I never thought I’d get into mashups as much as I have, but I want to introduce you to five spectacular ones that I think you’ll get a kick out of.

Some of them come from the YouTuber Bill McClintock, who just might be the best at this, but I tried to mix it up to get a good sample from across the internet.

In no particular order……here’s some music that’ll make you say wtf as you tap your foot and sing along!

  • 1. DANZIG AND THE TEMPTATIONS:

    Hearing that heavy metal riff mix perfectly with a soulful classic just feels right. After the solo is the best part!

  • 2. MICHAEL JACKSON & QUEEN:

    Freddie Mercury singing over that sweet Billie Jean track is so smooth, it’s like a match made in heaven!

  • 3. MICHAEL JACKSON & IRON MAIDEN:

    Ok, I know what you’re thinking – 2 Michael Jackson tracks?  But this time, it’s The King Of Pop singing over Maiden.  You never would have thought you’d feel like moonwalking over an insane metal riff!!!

  • 4. BEE GEES & AC/DC:

    Disco and metal together? Say it ain’t so!  But somehow, this just puts a smile on my face.

  • 5. METALLICA & MEN AT WORK:

    Ok, so I said this was in no particular order, but the more and more I listen to this, I’m amazed by how well it works.  An 80’s classic mixed with James Hetfield’s vocals to a Metallica staple seems impossible to pull off.  But this is just plain awesome!
