I must confess that I enjoy this mishmash of songs and videos—






and this song is soooo cheesy, but I must admit that I love it— 






Paperback Writer is a lousy choice for this because the original song is already a great mashup to begin with. Listen to the way the lead vocal crashes into Paul's bass, decorated with the boys singing FrÚre Jacques in the background. (Anyone who thinks McCartney was a lousy bass player should listen to Paperback Writer.) All this does is prove how lame the backing track for I'm a Believer was, by sucking all the rhythm out of a great song.
This is like cutting up a Van Gogh to make a collage. Or putting a moustache on the Mona Lisa and calling it art.....oh wait! https://www.people.virginia.edu/~djr4r/LHOOQ.html Didn't like this one, the Beatles/Radiohead version was the coolest of the 3, but the Blondie/Doors was kinda funky, IMO.

Heresy. Linking the Beatles with the Monkees. THE genius rock band of all time with a band assembled by Hollywood studios? Neat idea, but not destined to be a classic.
As Sam Kinison said in one of his comedy bits: They're not even a real group, you F**K!
Seems odd that the lyrics and music are fitting together. Who put chocolate in my peanut butter?

SACRILEGE

I understand how many people would hate them, because they mess with the original songs, but if you'd just look at them for what they are, and realize the effort that went into making these mash-up's, I don't see how you couldn't appreciate them more.
If they're that much work, why not do something original? This is like cutting up a Van Gogh to make a collage.
I think my brain is leaking out my ears... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...
Ok, this is really clever...
wacky! I think i like it! -T.
Haha, that sounds funny.
Uh, like doing jumble in the newspaper comics section.
This is an awesome remix of my all time favorite Beatles song!! Really cool!

I don't know why, as I, and many others think they are pretty damn cool. Click on the link above and you can download them for yourselves though. Be quick about it though, as they are only available for a short time sometimes.

To me, they are like musical animation.
This IS kinda cool!
