Your thoughts on 'Mashups'...
As in, take the vocal track from "Roxanne" and lay it over the music track from "You Should be Dancin" - thus getting a whole new song out of the mix

Or any other such juxtoposition...

1. I like them, but then they are the main fare for competition cheering music, so I have
used quite a few of them over the years.

Here's one I wanted to use this year: http://www.cheermusicstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=273&osCsid=201cf111866156030e064474b72ee30e

3. Ah but what about the less danceable mashups?
Like say "Easily Hurt" which is "easy like sunday morning" over "hurt"

4. Well, I haven't heard either of those songs or their mashup, so I couldn't say. I would
object to laying "You light up my life" over "Highway to Hell" or something. That would be very odd.

2. hate them
I just really don't like them. If I like a song, I want to hear that song, not that song jumbled up with another song. It's just a lack of creativity to me.
