Frivolity Break: Blondie/ABBA Mashup, Hanging on the Ring Ring

I think I would have called it "Ring Ring on the Telephone," But maybe they thought it was too obvious.  [Note: when you click this, you'll get a black screen. Just press "watch on YouTube." It works]

Annie Lennox Mashup Video (DJEarWorm)

I'm an Annie Lennox fan from way back, so I found this video to be extremely cool. "Mashup" songs and videos can be hit or miss. Sometimes, only a few things fit, and the rest is just tedious. But this video is masterful. Songs from Walking on Broken Glass to Shining Light, to Little Bird (my personal favorite), and No More I Love Yous are squished together to make a whole new song, and video. Wonderful.

Nirvana Gets Rick Rolled

I love this. Rick Astley, king of the "Rick Roll," an unfairly derided 80s star gets mashed up with 90s rock gods Nirvana. Kurt Cobain joined Jim Morrison as the deified rocker who "died too soon" who probably would have become a retro novelty act had he not died young. I always thought that Nirvana and the whole grunge "scene" was highly over-rated. But then, I thought the same thing about Bono and U2. So, what do I know? In any event, this is brilliant. . .
