In response to my April Fools' Day selection on Tuesday, I received a lovely comment from jonder the following day, with an unexpected bonus:
"Yesterday I made my first mashup.
Only two decades late for the trend!
Was trying to think of people who might appreciate
the (minimal)
effort,
and your name came to mind as a potential victim."
Now, I love the Jokonky blog by jonder, Koen and Stinky and I love a good mash-up, so what's not to love?
Hella Green (by the wonderfully named Mothra Poodle) takes Hella Good by No Doubt from 2001 and Judas Priest's 1979 cover of Fleetwood Mac's 1970 song The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown), written by Peter Green.
After giving them a good talking to, they all start playing nicely and getting along, which is music to my ears.
Great job, jonder!

And, if that has whet your appetite for the originals, say no more.
Thanks, you made my day! My brother works for a guy who misheard the name Mott The Hoople as "Mothra Poodle" -- and that was too good to be forgotten. Love the photo and the blog post title mashup!
ReplyDeleteImpressive how the 2 songs almost seamlessly mashup, well done Jonder!
