"Tiger" will never let you think of Rocky III the same way again. Take Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," put it to the beat of INXS's "Need You Tonight," and take the lyrics of the song from being about a metaphorical message of perseverance against hard odds... and change it to instead be about a literal tiger.
YouTube commenter: Why is Eminem trapped in limbo? Another YouTube commenter: Will the real Slim Shady please emerge from the void?
Fly Away, which starts out as a parody of lyric videos from the early days of Youtube... then quickly devolves into madness about Lenny Kravitz wanting to travel to space while eating candy bars while turning into a dragonfly.
Neil: Someone recently confirmed for me that Lenny Kravitz heard this and his reply was "What the hell"
I get knocked down, but I get up again But I get knocked down again, but I get up again You're never gonna get knocked-up again, you're never gonna get knocked down. ... I said how do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside my nose. ... He drinks piss, he drinks piss, he drinks piss, he drinks piss He sings the songs that remind him of the songs that remind him of the piss beneath my toes.
The sheer jarring nature of "Crocodile Chop," a mashup of "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down and "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John that Makes Just As Much Sense In Context, is worth a spit-laugh - especially when Serj Tankian's scream of "DIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!" gets combined with John's "laaaaaaa, la-la-la-la laaaaaa..."
"Floor Corn," which is a mix of the famous electronic instrumental "Popcorn" and... "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. The best part? It works almost perfectly.
Aside from the mangled movie titles in "Guide to Tom Hanks," there are also the taglines:
And to make it even better, the very next mashup, "Imagine All Star People," utilizes "All Star"yet again, this time combining it with "Imagine", of all songs.
"Wndrwll" fades from the incredibly chaotic "Space Monkey Mafia" into "Wonderwall", which, throughout its entirety, has its lyrics mangled in ridiculous ways, including repetitions of random words, reversal and pitch-shifting the entirety of the second verse, and harmonization of chorus vocals to themselves. And, to top it all off, right before the second chorus, the melody abruptly switches to Full House theme one more time, just to complete the joke.
"AC/VC" opens with "A Thousand Miles," only for it to quickly be joined by the lyrics of "Back in Black." And blows the mind to know that this works.
"Bustin" takes the Ghostbusters theme and sentence mixes it until it's more about sleep (and busting) than ghosts.
If you're all alone, let me sleep in your bed OW! (Banjo snoring) Lemme tell ya something, sleepin' makes me feel good (Banjo snoring again) I ain't 'fraid of no sleep I ain't 'fraid of no BED An invisible BED... uh— F R E A K Y G H O S T BED
"My Mouth" is described by many as the audio personification of insomnia, but as it goes on the sentence mixing produces some surreal lyrics.
My face is my face My mouth is laughing in my mouth My mouth is trying to sleep
"Sleepin'" takes "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit, unpredictably extends the intro riff to troll the listener twice, and remixes the final verse to be about something... much more trivial than the singer's drunken bad behavior destroying their relationship.
It's no surprise to me I'm SLEEPIN' WITH MY CLOTHES ON 'Cause every now and then I SLEEP WITH MY CLOTHES ON Can we forget about the CLOTHES I wore when I was SLEEPIN'? I didn't mean to SLEEP WITH MY CLOTHES ON
"The Outsiders." It's an audio-only parody of the trailer to the 1983 film adaptation of the novel of the same name, where Don LaFontaine lists off the names of the characters instead of the actors. Things start off normal, until the list starts getting... odd.
The track "Aammoorree," which is Dean Martin's cover of the song "That's Amore"... if everyone had too much to drink before the recording and found the bells on-set incredible.
When the big pizza pie hits the moon like the eye, that's amoreeee... When you've had too much wine, that's amoreeeeee... Bells— (digital ringing sounds)
"Johnny," which is the instrumental of Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" paired with the vocals of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" in one of multiple forms of Mood Whiplash on the album. What clenches it is when, just before the vocals start, a large crowd begins to start booing and voicing their displeasure before fading for a bit... until the end of the song where the crowd then starts applauding the performance.
The lyrics of "Hurt" (I will let you down, I will make you hurt) are the exact opposite of the lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up."
The punchline comes when the last "hurt" of the lyrics (in "never gonna tell a lie and hurt you") is swapped with Johnny Cash's vocals, after which the applause sounds.
"Nightmovin'" ends abruptly right after the line "cuz' it ain't over yet."
"Where Is My Mom" slows down the lyrics from "Stacy's Mom" to fit with the instruments from "Where Is My Mind." The way Chris Collingwood says "p-p-p-oo-oo-ool" sounds completely pathetic as a result, and is milked for all its worth.
Stacy, can I come over after schoo-oo-ool? We can hang around by the p-p-p-oo-oo-ool Did your mom get back from the p-p-p-oo-oo-ool? Is she there, or is she by the p-p-p-oo-oo-ool?
Closerflies seems like a weirdly innocuous mashup between the instrumental to "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails, and the lyrics to "Fireflies" by Owl City... Until you really think about the implications of spending the night with ten million fireflies set to a song about hardcore sex. And then Neil emphasizes one specific word in what feels like an attempt to strangle the listener with laughter.Explanation (Not Safe for Work) The setup of Closer combined with Fireflies implies that the jar the fireflies are kept in will be used similar to the infamous "Pony Cum Jar"
To ten million fireflies, I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell But I'll know where several are, if my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jaaaaaaaar
Many uploads of "Sleepin'" from Mouth Dreams go mute after a bit due to copyright problems, leading to a long stretch of silence after some build up. That's not the funny part note It's actually quite annoying. The funny part is that many listeners needed to be told this because it seemed exactly like something Neil would pull.
"Just a Baby" takes the instrumentals from Hoobastank's "The Reason" and combines it with the vocals from Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues"... which are edited to turn it into a story about a baby rather than a grown man. The complete disconnect between the seriousness of Cash's singing and the absurdity of lyrics like "If I was a car, I bet I'd be a good car. And that's what tortures me" makes it hilarious. There's also a cameo from Justin Bieber in the backing vocals.
When I was just a baby, My mother told me, "Son, always be a baby; don't ever be a gun."
The "extro" to Mouth Dreams involves an intimidatingly low drone of the first verse to All Star... followed by a brief snippet from Chop Suey to signify the end of the Mouth Dreams.
WAKE UP (Wake up...)
Annoyed Grunt is a chaotic mess of a dozen or so different audio sources, including songs, soundbites, and wacky effects that barely even try to be coherent or palatable. This being the internet, it succeeds anyway. It's hard not to laugh at the excess, best described by one comment as an alien's attempt at a racist caricature of humanity.
Ribs is definitely up there in being one of his most chaotic songs. It's remix of the Chili's Babyback Ribs jingle but also mashes in "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" and "The Beautiful People". If that wasn't enough it throws in the curveball of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" if you already weren't suffering from musical whiplash.
pretty much tells you at the start on how chaotic it's going to be with the first lyric.
