Dark Side of the Whip
It suddenly occured to me as I was driving to work yesterday that the songs “Crack that Whip” by Devo, and “Breathe” by Pink Floyd are oddly similar (did I mention it’s a loooong drive?)… So I downloaded the demo version of Ableton Live last night and came up with this mashup at 2 in the morning. I was pleased to discover that the two songs are already in the same key, and the tempi are closer than you’d think!
(by the way, I’m using Yahoo’s very handy media player (aka “Goose”) to embed this audio. My friends at Y! Music, Santa Monica, worked on it, and it is a beautiful work of engineering!

What the Hell were you thinking? I’m all for creating something new from something old, however combining Pink Floyd with Devo is an idiot’s idea to meld the great Pink with a one hit wonder, just shows a lack of music appreciation. Oh and by the way, your mash-up sounds like is as smooth as lumpy mashed potatoes. Do something else with you free time, like jogging on the freeway.
