The Ben Liebrand mashup of the vocals of Michael Jackson's brilliant 1982 "Billie Jean" with the instrumentals of Europe's iconic 1986 hit "The Final Countdown" has become one of my favourite songs in the space of a day.
There's something about mashups when they're good that gets me, the wonderful juxtaposition--recreation, even--of the familiar in ways that bring insight onto the originals. What makes a song tick? The proper mashup can illustrate this.
