I once remixed this song to have "Wake me up before you go go" in it because they have the same tempo and key, it sounds pretty hilarious

That would be spectacular.

Any chance you can dig it up?

One of these months I'm gonna up a lot of my mixes and mashes to d3rr's PeerTube.

I love good mashups, but I don't have patience to sift through them anymore.

Same. I assume you've heard of Neil Cicierega and his youtube channel?

I have now. Thanks. I'll check him out tomorrow.

My fave mashup guy: DJ Earworm Not every one is a home run, but he's quality. My faves were 2008 and 2012, and I have some catching up to do. https://www.youtube.com/user/djearworm/videos

Oh you're in for a treat with Neil.

I'll try out some DJ Earworm, thanks for the recommendation
