Memes
There is perhaps no genre of mashups as active as memes. Neil Cicierega, Pluffaduff, DJ Cummerbund, and other amazingly talented producers have devoted their entire careers to the craft. It's only right that every now and again, my endeavours in songmashing spit out a good meme or two.
smruno (2025)
I sang "We Don't Talk About Bruno" with Aggiepella in 2025. One day, we ended up rehearsing the same part of the song over and over to practice choreography. The bass part was already repetitive, and I knew that people needed work on choreo, not music, and so I started improvising my notes, getting farther and farther from the original bass part for the purpose of entertaining the other basses. Eventually, I found myself singing the guitar solo, and then the verses, of Santana's "Smooth". I went home and immediately made this mashup.
Graduation Afterparty (2024)
Somebody once asked me why I was getting an engineering degree, and, out of frustration at the obvious question, I opened FL Studio, made this, and then sent it to them as an answer.
Flaming California (2018)
When I'm playing Guitar Hero, I usually sing along. One time, while playing Through The Fire and Flames on Hard, I caught myself singing "On a dark desert highway, in the time before the light" instead of TtFaF's opening lyric, "on a cool winter morning in the time before the light". This mashup was the result. I'm aware that DJ Cummerbund has also done a version of this. His is certainly more impressive, but I like the simplicity of this one.
