Bohemian Tango (Queen vs Calle 13)

This started out of curiosity.

The Bohemian Rhapsody is a complicated song as everybody knows and I was curious if it was possible to do anything with this song at all.
It's probably the mashup I worked longest on, discarding it at first when I had made my first try.
After a few weeks I heard it again and thought it wasn't that bad after all, so I gave it another try.
Some problems I could solve in due time and this is the result.
I'm quite certain that many consider it sacrilege to use this song at all, but that's the challenge isn't it?
The instrumental is by Calle 13 from Puerto Rico, labelled a reggaeton act but they are much more than that and one of the best groups out of Latin America in the last few years.

Hate That I Love Mr Brown - (James Brown vs Rihanna & Ne-Yo)

Rihanna united with another spouse basher in a funky mashup.

This mashup I started for the Sound-Unsound birthday challenge but I got stuck and never finished it until now.

Shotgun in NYC (Blue Stahli vs Genesis)

Another mashup featuring Genesis during the Peter Gabriel era.
The screaming vocals of Peter Gabriel I matched with the electronic rock of Blue Stahli which I had discovered through some excellent mashups of one of the best mashup artists around, Aggro1
Check out his site, especially if you like DnB.

Ruled By Crawlers (Genesis vs Muse)

Genesis had a rich musical history before it became hitmachine headed by Phil Collins.
Songs from these era have rarely or never been mashed and with the recent release of the first albums in a 5.1 format,with Peter Gabriel as leadsinger, opportunities arose to try to get a clear vocal.
Here is my first try with one of my favourite songs, Carpet Crawlers.
I mashed this with Ruled By Secrecy by Muse, which is in 6/8 where Carpet Crawlers is in 4/4 creating quite a few obstacles which I hope I overcame.
To get the placement right I first sung the melody myself and then started to arrange everything.
I hope I did right.

Sean Paul's Sing-A-Long (Sean Paul vs The Mini Sloths from Ice Age 2)

I am not very active with mashups at the moment but when recently I saw Ice Age 2 I knew I had to do something with the hilarious songs by Sid the Sloth and The Mini Sloths.

There's nothing ambitious about this one, just a little funny piece (I hope)

Sean Paul's Sing-A-Long:

Sean Paul - Get Busy
John Powell - Mini Sloths Sing-A-Long and bits of Sid's Sing-A-Long (from the Ice Age 2 soundtrack)

Give My Tears Some Shelter (Rolling Stones vs Amy Winehouse)

Another mashup using an Amy Winehouse instrumental, though it could have been named a Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrel instrumental as well, because the music from Tears Dry On Their Own is actually Ain't No Mountain High Enough, written by Ashford & Simpson.

Give My Tears Some Shelter

Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (vocals and guitars)
Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own (instrumental)
