The Worst Mash-up Ever

I think it can officially be said that I created the worst mash-up video ever. I discovered that when mashing up songs and their videos, it is usually a better idea to mash up songs that sound similar or have a similar rhythm or at least sound similar. My favorite mash-ups, personally, are those which sound similar yet are about very different topics. Such examples include "Britney's Massive Hole," a surprisingly good combination of Muse's Supermassive Black Hole and some song by Britney Spears (I don't think that part really matters.) Another great example is the mash-up of Soulja Boy Tell 'em's "Crank Dat" and Devo's "Whip It."

I, of course, took the opposite route. I fell in love with the Lonely Islands' "I'm on a Boat" and I loved the fact that Muse filmed the music video for "Starlight" on a boat. For some reason, this notion to my brain that a mash-up video of the two songs would be a good idea. I called it "I'm on a Starlight Boat" quite cleverly. The song basically goes back and forth cussing about being on a boat, then singing falsetto about never wanting to let you go. It is appauling. The one good line is "I'll never let you go... ON A BOAT MUTHAFUCKA!" But nonetheless, if people have a hard time watching an entire mash-up video, you know you probably have a steaming pile of disgusting on your hands. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and don't publicly release such filth.

If you are curious enough to watch "I'm on a Starlight Boat," just ask and I'll show you my mash-upterpiece.
