Yeah that's a whole craze or was a craze on some club scene of recent history. Finding two songs that could be made to fit over each other. Kinda funny, but kinda lame if taken seriously.

i've been on a total soprano's kick recently. i watched seasons 1 and 2 in a 4 day period and I'm working on season 3. in one of the episodes, the FBI was doing a stakeout on the family and they mixed the Peter Gunn theme with "Every Breath You Take" by the police. Not only did it work because of both songs being in the same key, the creepy-ass lyrics worked perfectly too.

Which once again proves my point... every band has a stalker song. Discuss.

Men at Work "Who Can it Be Now?"

http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.n...2568BF00017148

Although the last line raises that age-old rock lyric question: are they really after me, or am I just paranoid?

As far as the mp3 goes people have been doing this for a while now. Like when Nickelback capied themselves.
