Mashup: Smells Like Gaga!

Fairly uninspired mashup of Nirvana and Gaga making the rounds of the Internet. Meanwhile, what about that "Best of Bootie 2009" mashup album?

We're not quite sure why some bloggers are going ga-ga over the recent Nirvana-Lady Gaga mashup. As you can hear below, DJ Lobsterdust hasn't exactly pushed the envelope with his remake/remodel. For starters, why does everyone feel compelled to use "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in their mashups. And GaGa's "Poker Face" isn't exactly the standout track in her oeuvre.

But hey, anytime a DJ can combine those two hot-button names and get the press (like us) to report on it, it's a guaranteed elevated profile, at least for a short while. Check it out, below.

 Meanwhile, the New York Post recently, er, posted its list of the so-called best mashups of '09. In addition to the Nirvana-Gaga track, some of the fave raves were "I Got More Than A Feeling" by Mad Mix Mustang (Boston and the Black Eyed Peas), "Chasing Cars That Way" by Dan Mel & Marc Johnce (Backstreet Boys and Snow Patrol), a positively inspired "My Life on the Crazy Train Sucks," also by Mel and Johnce (listed as Kelly Clarkson vs. Ozzy Osbourne vs. Pink vs. Daft Punk, no less) and several other Gaga entries, including mashups of her with Human League and Journey. The entire list can be found here, and they've even provided a download link so you can get the entire "album" - titled, somewhat alarmingly, "Best of Bootie 2009," free of charge.
