etnobofin's Mashup Challenge 2006
"Mash! We demand to be mashed!"
Kelis vs Nirvana - Milk Shake Like Teen Spirit
Crowded House vs Pharrell - The Weather Episode
matt mentioned John Zorn in a comment here last night, reminding me of an idea that I had half-baked and abandoned. The idea is still half-baked, but I'm dragging it out of the fridge serving it up anyway. It's the stoopidest concept ever, with ther possible exception of Sudoku.
The Mashup Challenge 2006
The aim of this game is to come up with a list of the 10 most impossible artist mashups ever, the sort of mashups that would come with a health warning.
You don't have to nominate specific songs/tracks. Just the artists. Bonus points may be awarded for the most surreal and silly.
Like Mornington Crescent, The Mashup Challenge 2006 is purely an intellectual exercise, and I don't expect anyone to actually attempt to produce any of these in their bedroom studio. If anyone actually bothers, well, we'll give them lots of respect. Or block our ears.
To kick it off, here are three that I thought of:
So... post your mashup ideas in the comments section below, and we'll pull together the best ones for a Top 10!
(matt/Taxi Driver, this is why I don't get linked by o-dub. Because I do dumb stuff like this.)

after multiple technorati, google and myspace music searches, i've been able to confirm that, with the exception of Metheny vs. Cuong Vu, each any every one of the suggested mash-ups has been done. . . Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if someone had done a couple, like maybe PE vs. Lynard Skynard or mid 80's Prince v. Kenny Rodgers (especially that one!!)
Ok, how 'bout:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor (anything) vs. Britney Spears (anything)
David S. Ware ("Flight of i") vs. early 70's Donny Osmond ("Puppy Love")
Swans ("Goddamn the Sun") vs. The Archies ("Sugar Sugar")
Samuel Barber, String Quartet Op.11, Adagio vs. Up with People (anything)
etc.
Oh, and etno, I'm not so sure about Zorn vs. Madonna -- "like a Prayer" vs. Krystal Nacht and "Boarderline" vs. something from the Masada songbook could work!!

Ok, since others entered more often than me, here are a couple extra late submissions;
Public Enemy ("Prophets of Rage") vs. The Association ("Cherish")
and on the holiday tip, since we're only a week or two out:
Dead Kennedys ("Religious Vomit") vs. Little Cindy ("Happy Birthday Jesus (a Child's Prayer)")
Funkadelic ("One Nation Under a Groove") vs. Kate Smith ("God Bless America")
alright, that's enough, my head's starting to hurt. . .
