MARCH MASHUP MADNESS
As always, the pairing in this particular mashup (thanks to the always crafty Go Home Productions team) is completely unexpected. If you can guess from the title Annie Rush . . . never mind, I'll tell you: it's Annie Lennox singing "Little Bird" using Rush's "Spirit of Radio" as the backing track. I love these things, and think this one is rather well done. However, I'm not sure how Rob is going to feel about this one; it might make him want to sit right down and cry, cry, cry. Hey, at least it wasn't a vocal lifted from the Broadway musical "Annie".
"Mashup" doesn't even begin to describe this one: it's more akin to a trainwreck in a blender. As for Wrapped Detective, the reggae vibes of both Elvis Costello's "Watching The Detective" and the Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger" mesh nicely, with a nice sprinkling of Bob Marley into the mix . . . but wait, "Hello" by Lionel Ritchie? And "Stairway to Heaven", "Fever" and "Bus Stop"?!? Holy hell, where did they come up with this one? And what were they smoking at the time? And dammit, is there any left?
