This is incredibly well done - a mashup of Bela Lugosi's Dead with the Walt Disney 'Haunted Mansion' soundtrack, by Howard Hallis .
(found on BoingBoing for course).

It's been way too long since I've caught up with m'man Art's Mashuptown.
Here's an absolutely inspired mash of My Sharona with Enter Sandman and among other things) Sympathy for the Devil. The really funny thing is the way this treatment takes Enter Sandman from ominous and scary to something between funky and southern-rock swagger; the vocal, out of context and stripped of backing (and sped up) sounds completely different. I think the first half of the song (featuring Sandman) works better, the second half features the vocal from Sympathy for the Devil. But it makes for a very listenable (and very danceable) mash.
Listen here: ToToM - Enter North American Sharona
Thanks, Art. I gots me some catchin' up to do.
Art at Mashuptown sez:
DJ Rolf takes Metallica and mixes it up with some Aretha Franklin. Simple A+B hard rocking Mash. If this track doesn't get you goin' nothin' will. Props to our man in the NL Rolf. Enjoy.
This gives me fuckin' chills.
A brilliant, absolutely brilliant mash of Johnny Cash vs Nirvana vs Blue Oyster Cult vs New Order by DJ Dangerous Orange; you can get the track here.
That Johhny Cash song seeps into my skull anyway and I walk around knowing exactly what he's talkin' about. The fact that this mashup maintains that feeling impresses the hell out of me.
Props to my man Art at Mashuptown - I've been neglecting his site and have found a treasure trove of tracks I've not heard. As usual he's got nuthin' but the finest mash. Give 'im a Hell Yeah for me.
Wow. This pretty much defines fucked up.
I want to stick an icepick in my ear. But, you know, in a good way.
(Thanks, Art, you rule)
Something is good and right in the world when photoshoppers/mashup artists take on the horrific 'art' that is Thomas Kinkade.
And the result is fucking hysterical. There are pages and pages of this, don't stop, they just keep getting better.
Gems like these:
Via BoingBoing, who make mondays less dreary.
It's been too damned long since i gave a shout-out to m'man Art's site, MashupTown.
So here y'all go.
Put on the Super Freak - Superfreak vs. Roxanne. This clip fuckin' rules.
Wonder Bop - the Ramones vs. Oasis. Some love it, some hate it. It's so wrong in a way that's so right.
And finally, Dirty Deeds will Rock You - AC/DC vs. Queen. This thing just needed to exist, I tell ya.
Art, you rock my world.
Hey, you know what I wanna hear? more mashups features UFO or Scorpions. Someone's gotta be doin' that shit.
This just completely rules.
To steal Cory's description from BoingBoing:
Scratch n Spin is a very amusing short video advert that combines footage of a DJ's hands working on a set of turntables with footage of a streetscene; when he grabs a car and moves it around the roundabout, it is synched to the sound of the record from the original shot scratching back and forth. It's intensely clever and laugh-out-loud delightful.
Hey, I got a mention in BoingBoing. Sweet.
Alas, it's because I hipped Cory to the demise of one of my favorite places in the internet, Mashuptown.
My brutha-man Art has been hosting some of the freshest, tastiest mashups around, but the RIAA nazis are on his track. It's a sad day, but I'm still off to buy Mashuptown swag to show the man some support.
Thanks for the mashups, Art.
Show some love to MashupTown - get yer mashup town shit:
Yeah I got mine, but mine is grey. Yours, though, should be pink.
[made with ecto]
<sarcasm>
So when exacly did Cake change their name to Weezer?
Because you know, I thought Weezer were that band who did Hash Pipe and Sweater. But clearly, if you listen to that clip, they're the band that did Short Skirt, Long Jacket and Never There.
</sarcasm>
But you should check out a damned fine mashup based on said song.
I'll say it again. Me love Mashuptown.
This isn't as great a mashup as some that I've linked to lately, but I absolutely love Black Betty so I gotten give it a nod.
Whoa Black Betty, Bam-A-Lam!
Also thanks to m'man at Mashuptown for pointing a link my way last week. Thanks brutha!
I love MashupTown.

I love mashups.
No, I mean I really, really love mashups.
If you share any bit of this passion, get thee directly to mashuptown.com. Run, don't walk. And get yourself a double handful of Owner of a Lovely Butt, a mashup of Mix-A-Lot's Baby got Back and Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart. And yes, that's as fuckin' sick as it sounds, in a very good way.
I'm currently downloading everything they have linked on the site, which I'll be listening to for the next several days. I've added them to my blogroll, I've added them to my RSS feeds.
I love this site...
This is for the bad little kid in all of us.
NWA's Straight Outta Compton, edited down to only the explicit content.
So for example the title track, which starts:
Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin ou
Is then distilled down to:
motherfucker, niggaz, fuck, ass, motherfuckers.
This reduced to me absolute giggles.
Not work safe, not kid safe, not even safe for me.
(Thanks, as usual, to BoingBoing.)
Go read about this over at BoingBoing, but in short, "DJ Danger Mouse came to fame when he remixed the Beatles' "White Album" with Jay-Zee's "Black Album" and called the result the "Grey Album." EMI, who hold the Beatles' copyright, went nuts and threatened to sue anyone who hosted the MP3s."
I'm trying to find a place to download that, BTW. If anyones knows... (Edit -- I found a torrent at http://www.bannedmusic.org/ but it seems to be broken (61,'Connection refused'). So I'm still seeking a reliable way to get hold of this album. Edit, again -- see GreggP's comment. That got it, dude, you rock.)
Anyway, the video is great, but read the story behind it over at Grey Tuesday. It's one of those cases where the music business is fucking itself and us by fighting the wrong fights.
