Do you know what a 'mash-up' is??
I'm no expert, but they are pretty cool.
Someone with audio editing software takes 2 completely different songs, and mashes them together using the vocals from one song and the music from the second song, creating a completely new song.
These mash-ups can breathe new life into classic music. Some people like them. Some don't. The nay-sayers say that mash-ups are no good because 'you don't mess with classic tunes'.
Just like any music genre, some mash-ups are good. Others, not so much.
Let me offer up one example:
Rapture Riders (click the title to listen)
It's a 'mash-up' of Rapture by Blondie and Riders on The Storm by The Doors.
What do you think?
There's a blog that posts collections of mash-ups every so often.
It's free and I like most of 'em.

Listen with an open mind and see what you think.
You haven't lived until you've heard "Single Ladies" by Beyonce mashed up with the Andy Griffith theme!!!
