HAPPY RETRO DOUBLE HEADER THURSDAY!!!!
The over-the-top excitement is because while I'm posting lots of awesome mashups, today I get to post two of my favorites, each of which takes "Nothin' but a Heartache" (worth a listen to the original!) and mashes it in a way that leaves the incredible background beat and trumpets in place.
The first is mashed with Rihanna's "Umbrella" and speeds it up to where I'm personally comfortable with it. When I've been in love, it's been a great song and this upbeat version of it is something I can run/work/dance to and feel great. Besides which, the music video matches up wonderfully and I'm always a sucker for synchronized dancing.
The second is mashed up mainly with Yazoo's "Don't Go," although Fatboy Slim makes an appearance on the track and is the main focus of the middle buildup. This music video is full of wonderfully vintage music videos matching pretty well with the foreground singers in each part of the song.
Seriously guys it's the same background but two totally different songs and I love them both and...they both make me smile, even as I babble through run-on sentences. Second video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnduMN8_N-c because I'm not the best at embedding, and y'all can take the extra click to watch it. Enjoy!
