Now that the history lesson is over, it's time to have some fun. This section will feature remixes and covers with an emphasis on genre-crossing examples.
"Come Together" and "Closer," Beatles and Nine Inch Nails. Apparently this mashup is so popular that it's now dubbed "Come Closer Together" on the interwebs.
Dirt off Your Wonderwall, Jay-Z and Oasis. This one's not that hard to conceptualize, actually. Isn't this what rap basically does all the time anyway?
KT Tunstall - Get Your Freak On (Missy Elliot cover)
White Rabbit - by Living Legends
Stairway to Heaven - Dolly Parton covers Led Zeppelin
Matthew Good - Moon Over Marin (Dead Kennedys cover)
Thriller - Imogen Heap covers Michael Jackson
Newton Faulkner covers Teardrop (Massive Attack)
Apocalyptica - Nothing Else Matters (this is a cello band that does classical covers of Metallica songs)
And finally, because every party should end with this song, here is Sparklehorse covering Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."
