Mom's All Star Spaghetti (Smash Mouth x Eminem)

Rating: 8/10
This mashup is one of the strangest things I have ever, but I love it! Eminem with the beat of All Star by Smash Mouth with spaghetti thrown in very cleverly to completely change the meaning of the original song. A really hilarious concept executed excellently, probably my favorite mashup. Anyways, after today, back to normal songs, which probably means more drop the vocaloid unless anyone else decides to post since that is what I've been listing to recently.

Slamifinal Episode (Quad City DJs x Pokemon Colosseum x Snoop Dogg)

Rating: 8/10
I did a post on the original song from Pokemon colosseum and it just so happens we have it here again in my favorite space jam remix! Not only does this mashup manage to mash up three very different songs, it does so extremely well and seamlessly. Quite excellent. Makes sure to come back tomorrow for the finale of my week of mashups!

Weed Circulation (Monogatari Series x Snoop Dogg)

Rating: 8/10
Whoops, I appear to have been caught up in a temporal paradox, and missed posting for a week, well mashup week resumes now. This song is what when you take one of the best anime OPs of all time and add Snoop Dogg. It's surprisingly good and the surprisingly high quality video really makes this mashup come together for me. I was originally going to save this mashup for April 20th, but since I'm doing a week of mashups, here it is now. Also before I go, have a bonus Renai Circulation mashup that I'm also quite fond of.

Slam of the North Star (Fist of the North Star x Quad City DJs)

Rating: 8/10
As I said yesterday, I've been to a lot of interesting parts of the internet, another one of my favorites is dedicated to mashing up various songs with quite possibly the dumbest song I have ever listened to. The theme song for 1996 movie Space Jam. This song has become somewhat of a meme inspiring many mashups and the indie RPG Barkley, Shut Up & Jam: Gaiden. This particular mashup is one of my personal favorites mashing up the Space Jam with the OP for the anime Fist of the North Star. If you look around, you can probably find this song mashed up with just about anything. If you thought this was weird, the next three days will be my top 3 weirdest mashups that are actually good, look forward to it!

Not a Train (Eminem x Thomas the Tank Engine)

Rating: 6/10
I've been to a lot of interested parts of the internet, but quite possibly the weirdest one I have run into is a community dedicated to mashing up rap songs with the Thomas the Tank engine theme, and surprisingly it actually works really well. Not much else to say, just this is a thing that exists, and there is plenty more if you look around.

Thunder Busters (AC/DC x Ghostbusters)

Rating: 7/10
Waxaudio is one of biggest rock/metal mashup artist that I know of, some of his stuff is really interesting and this is definitely one of those. It works surprisingly well and if you like this I would highly recommend checking out some of his other stuff on his youtube channel, soundcloud stream, and his website.

In the Darkness (Fall Out Boy x Imagine Dragons)

Rating: 8/10
Starting of my week of mashups, probably my favorite mashup of normal music, My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy mashed up with Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. It probably helps that I already love both of these songs, but they fit excellently and the mashup artist did a great job putting this together. Just a fair warning, this is as normal as it's going to get, each song this week will be weirder and weirder until we get to some, admittedly hilarious, but weird stuff.

GUMI - "The Trooper" (Iron Maider cover)

Rating: 8/10
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground, and the Russians fire another round, we get so near yet so far away, we won't live to fight another day.
From that song yesterday I ended up finding more Vocaloid covers of other genres and this one it great. It's so silly hearing Vocaloids singing metal about battle and war, but it works surprisingly well. I would totally recommend checking out the other covers by these guys too, they are also excellent. Anyways, after this I'll leave off the Vocaloid stuff for a bit and leave it to gwr. Next week I'm going to be doing a series of mashups, one for each day next week, varying from serious awesome mashups to silly, really dumb ones. Look forward to it!

Megurine Luka - "Boyz n the Hood" (Eazy-E cover)

Rating: 6/10
Knowin' Nutin In Life But To Be Legit', Dont Quote Me Boy Coz I Aint Said Shit
Vocaloid raps are not particularly common, let alone Vocaloid covers of gangsta raps. This is one of the songs for the WTF did I just listen to list, however it is extremely hilarious. One of my friends shared this with me and I just had to pass it on. Seriously, who thinks, you know I need to hear my Vocaloids sing? Gangsta rap. Well, someone did it and this is the result, honestly it's not bad, but really weird and funny.

Kagamine Rin & Len - "Remote Control"

Rating: 8/10
L R L R STOP & Dash & UP & TALK B B A B S(tart)
This is one of my favorite vocaloid songs, it's a bit of an interesting song, but it works. Honestly I don't find the lyrics that interesting, but that's ok because they are in Japanese and I love the instrumentation, rhythm, and use of the duet vocals and this is a song that really makes me want to jump up and dance. It's a bit hard to define a genre for this song, it's got elements of electronic and pop among other things. I don't really have a lot to say about it, but I really like this song. Finally, have a bonus hilarious and awesome project Diva music video.

Iron Maiden - The Apparation

Rating: 8/10
Here I am, can't you see me, passing through, on my way, to a place I'd been to only in my dreams... before
This is an interesting song, Iron Maiden was the band that got me into metal a while ago and even more specifically this was the first metal album I ever heard, for a while I was really into Iron Maiden, but then I stopped liking them as much. Now just recently I've started listening to them again and I'm in love with Bruce Dickenson's vocals again. Anyways, this song is interesting, it tells the story of a man talking with an apparition or ghost of some sort, implied to be someone recently deceased and about to pass on. The apparition offers philosophical and religious advice. It asks a lot of interesting questions and I really like it and honestly it offers some surprisingly good life advice.
