From the mean streets of Detroit rises the newest superstar of professional wrestling, Xavier Cold, better known as Phenomenal X. We don’t think Swift would ever collaborate with Nine Inch Nails singer Trent Reznor, but we can take solace in the fact that their voices compliment each other surprisingly well.Good Girl. The depraved lyrics of the former glide over the inspiring instrumental for the latter, and the result is pretty catchy. Still, these two pop titans have songs that somehow align perfectly: “The Perfect Drug” and “Shake It Off”. There probably isn’t much overlap between Nine Inch Nails and Taylor Swift fans. Nine Inch Nails & Taylor Swift – ‘The Perfect Shake’ It sounds like Annie went to the disco and had a great time. This slick remix combines Jackson’s classic single “Smooth Criminal” with the beloved Panic! At the Disco track “Victorious”, and you’ll be shocked at how well Brendon Urie sings over the 80s instrumental. There are far more differences than similarities, but these differences manage to compliment each other on the mashup “Victorious Criminal”. Michael Jackson’s pop has little to do with the melodramatic punk-rock of Panic! At the Disco. Michael Jackson & Panic! At the Disco – ‘Victorious Criminal’ It’s a very different kind of teen spirit, but a teen spirit nonetheless. Kurt Cobain’s lyrics are easier to understand with the less intrusive instrumental, and Grande’s track gives the song a cool, understated vibe. The band’s landmark single “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is stripped of its blistering guitars and laid over the lowkey, stuttering instrumental to Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next”. This mashup may seem sacrilegious to Nirvana fans, but it works suspiciously well. Nirvana & Ariana Grande: ‘Thank U, Nirvana’ Lines “I don’t belong here” are particularly funny when they’re juxtaposed with the exuberance of the backing choir. It’s pretty hilarious to hear Thom Yorke’s sour lyrics crooned over the bustling music to Carey’s Christmas staple. Radiohead’s “Creep” is a gloomy ode to outcasts, while Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” is the epitome of holiday cheer. You’d be hard-pressed to find two songs that are more different in terms of tone and general theme. Radiohead & Mariah Carey: ‘All I Want for Christmas is Creep’ Maybe we could get a real DMX and Jepsen crossover in the future? It’s a mashup that’s simultaneously tough and tender, and it’s hard not to laugh at just how perfectly the songs line up. The mashup uses the tough lyrics of DMX’s “X Gon Give it to Ya” and graphs it onto the sugary melody of Jepsen’s breakout single “Call Me Maybe”. If you thought West and Spears was a strange pairing, wait until you hear this mashup between Ruff Ryder icon DMX and twee pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen. Maybe DJs should try mixing West and Spears more often.ĭMX & Carly Rae Jepsen: ‘X Gon’ Give it to Ya Maybe’ It’s not a combo we didn’t previously consider, but the final product is oddly hypnotic. The mashup takes West’s lyrics from “Power” and replaces the booming beat of the original with the jittery, ethereal beat of Spears’s “Toxic”. They have little in common musically, but two of their most acclaimed singles, “Power” and “Toxic”, somehow work together in perfect tandem. Kanye West and Britney Spears are two of the most iconic pop stars of the 2000s. Kanye West & Britney Spears: ‘Toxic Power’
