sorry i'm totally blanking right now and it's driving me crazy - what is the source of the piano backing track on AC/VC?

vanessa carlton "a thousand miles"

ahhhhhhhhhhh that's it

gotta say I do appreciate how he doesn't use the opportunity to show off his taste and his music collection like so many other mash-up artists do. if 90% of this stuff wasn't instantly recognizable it wouldn't work.

I don't want to spoil anything but a particular mashup pretty early on has made my day

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's "Floor Corn"

when I saw this on Twitter someone commented on that particular mashup and I was like, "there's no way he can make that work"

"annoyed grunt" is a masterpiece

jesus christ @ the "what a fool believes"/"in the end" mashup

my only complaint is that he threw in "Bustin'" which is both old and one of my least faves

pfft imo bustin' makes me feel good

Let me tell ya somethin'

Sleepin' makes me feel good

i ain't scared of no bed

man im looking fwd to listening to this

this is alright but i liked it better when i accidentally had it playing off-sync in two different tabs at the same time

"T.I.M.E." is probably the only time a song has gone from "this is incredibly stupid" to making the hairs raise on the back of my neck

IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER IT'S THE THRILL OF THE TIGER RISING UP TO THE TIGER OF OUR TIGER

they're grrrrrreat!

I wish "T.I.M.E." had come out in time for tracks voting

All I wanna do is
d'oh! d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!
and a
yeah, baby!
and take your money

MIA and Mario Paint were made to go together.

lol this is now #1 for 2017 on the RYM chart

fuckin' right on

the 'Wonderwall' one starts off like something from Limmy's soundcloud page, which I mean in a positive way

never heard of this guy

oh, I bet you have

AC/VC is killing me

I'm impressed that most of the mashups make me laugh in the first ten seconds but he sees the concept all the way through rather than making into a pure punchline. AC/VC works surprisingly well, for example. Never heard his other albums

So many tigers, it happens to tigers

How do you explain Tim Allen?

Man, "Mysterious Ticking Noise" is almost ten years old.

The beginning of Wow Wow feels like the pinnacle of mashups

"wow wow" is an incredible jam

yeah I'm definitely slotting that, "Bustin", and "Shit" into my party playlist

just about killed myself laughing at ac/vc

Wallspin really does my head in. It's practically an aural illusion. Amazing that he managed to ruin this song twice.

Seriously. And both times amazingly

lol I just realized he changed "Jim West" to "Jim Dress" on "Wow Wow"

Would say btw - average quality maybe higher than Mouth Silence, jury out on whether he's bested Crocodile Chop or Born To Cat

i think ac/vc is my favourite ever neil cicieraga mashup, competing with crocodile chop and mullet with butterfly wings

JC/VC is all the more impressive for not seeming to need a ton of processing to make it work

er AC/VC

Someone tweeted him showing that that mash-up had already been done (probably not as well but)

i now think 'annoyed grunt' might have bested everything else

Man, "Mysterious Ticking Noise" is almost ten years old.

I remember watching "Hyakugojyuuichi" in middle school like fifteen yrs ago

yeah NC was in middle school too p much

He talks about his childhood here. Says that he basically spent all of homeschool making games and animations.

I remember watching "Hyakugojyuuichi" in middle school like fifteen yrs ago

when I found out that this was the same guy who'd done brodyquest who was also the mash up guy it blew my mind

the interstitial stills on that powerpoint are amazing

I wanna
really really really really
really really really really
really really really really
really really really really
really really really wanna zig-a-zig-ah

This is fun

T.I.M.E. actually has some interesting comments on Youtube. The top thread is about the function of the All Star sample at the end. A commenter thinks it undercuts the emotion of the song, whereas Neil chimes in and says that it was meant to "return to the memeverse gently".

yeah that one is something

this guy has completely ruined the song "Wonderwall"

I remember once meeting Neil C. at a Harry Potter convention, and he was so happy to have someone not talk his ear off about Potter Puppet Pals, but instead about Lemon Demon (or more specifically, the opening riff to "Action Movie Hero Boy").

I followed this guy religiously when I was in high school, not only do I own multiple Lemon Demon CDs I also guest wrote a comic for Farchie Archie. and yet it somehow snuck under my radar that he had made one of the top 10 most viewed YouTube videos of all time (at least it was top 10 when I found it...I assume it's been demolished by two dozen Justin Bieber videos since)
