Sockpuppet might work. Or just buy some vinegar and come to my house and pour it in my eyes.

Eh. Pitching the vocals up makes Rick lose all his charm. Mashup sounds a little off, too.

Let me see what I have lying around... Ah!

Here's team9 sullying the Pixies with Britney and Madonna, and here's my own version of Mr. Astley's song.

Who was the guy with the bright idea to have a 10 second intro of horrible beeping for this video?

If man is five, and Rick is six, then Frank is seven.

What does it say about me that I love both of these songs equally?

Get out of Miss Jackson's Lazy Bed is also by 10000 Spoons, and it is, IMHO, possibly the best mashup since the time of Shakespeare.

I was gonna link to This Charming Caravan (The Smiths vs. The Housemartins) but then I found Radiohead covering The Headmaster Ritual and forgot all about mashups.
