O.K., dear friends, it's been a few years, so it's time to amuse and delight you again with some wonderful, wacky mash-ups. One thing all of the following videos have n common is that they're all from the same guy, one Bill McClintock. I didn't set out to do that. I don't know anything about the guy. Don't know where he lives, how old he is, his political leanings, his favorite card games, anything.
But when I started looking around in YouTube for some cool mash-ups a few days ago, somehow the best ones were by McClintock. They're not only funny, they're seamless.
This one's got some troubling undertones. I mean, what if Slipknot mated with The Spice Girls?
And what if Rick James joined The Clash?
My only problem with this one is that the title had me anticipating an appearance by Marie's brother.
And I regret that there never was a real collaboration between Pantera and The Marvelettes.
More fun with mash-ups from this blog HEREandHERE.

Today, January 13, 2021, is National Stephen Foster Memorial Day, honoring the great American songwriter of the mid 1800s, who died on this day by his own hand in 1864 at the age of 37.
It's also Wacky Wednesday here on Stephen W. Terrell's (Music) Web Log, so let's look at the funny side of Foster.
Foster himself indeed had his funny side. After all, he's the guy who penned lyrics like, "It rained all night the day I left / The weather it was dry." But even his most beautiful and dreamy songs have been parodied, mutated and dementized through the years. In fact, folks of My Generation -- and generations before -- probably were introduced to Foster's music via short performances of parts of his famous tunes in comedies and cartoons.
Way back in 1930, in their movie Animal Crackers, The Marx Brothers did a quick a capela performance of "My Old Kentucky Home."
None other than Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny did a version of "Oh! Susana," adapting the lyrics to fit the plot of Mr. Fudd searching for gold to help the U.S. war effort in 1942. (Check out how different Elmer looks!)
Spike Jones & His City Slickers did a full-blown version of Foster's "Camptown Races."
And Stan Freberg rocked Foster up. My favorite part is about the "one-eyed cat peepin' at Old Dog Tray."

OPENING THEME: Let It Out (Let it All Hang Out) by The Hombres
As any lover of American and British folk ballads know, murder ballads are an
essential part of our heritage -- especially those songs about young women who
fall for, and eventually are felled by a violent dickhead lover.
And as lovers of '50s and '60s rock and country know, answer songs, if not
essential, can be a lot of fun, from Etta James' "Roll With Me Henry" (an
"answer" to "Work With Me Annie") to "Dawn of Correction," (a response by a
group called The Spokesmen to "Eve of Destruction.")
There are some truly important artists who sang answer songs -- Etta
James and Kitty Wells, to name a couple. But there is something so
inherently tacky, so nakedly bottom-feederish about the whole game of
trying to glom onto someone else's hit, I can't help but love the
answer-song.
And yes, gentle readers, there are examples of answer songs to murder ballads.
Let's look first at a ballad ballad that was based on the true story of a Tennessee man named Finley Preston who killed his lover, Lillie Shaw and burned her body in 1903. Preston was hung for the crime in 1905.
The murder turned into a ballad known by several names including "Come All Ye Coal Miners," "Lilli Schull" and "Finley Preston." This is the title used by Clint Howard and Fred Price in this 1972 recording.
The great alt-country band, Uncle Tupelo recorded a version called "Lilli Schull" on their live album, March 16-20, 1992. Later in the '90s, after Uncle Tupelo broke up, singer Jay Farrer, with a new band, Son Volt, recorded this answer song called "Been Set Free," which begins, "I am the voice of Lilli Schull ..."
Another classic murder ballad is "Down in the Willow Garden," which deals with the murder of a woman named Rose Connelly. It's an Appalachian ballad with roots in Ireland. Here's the version by The Everly Brothers:
In 2011, Rachel Brooke released an answer song on her album "Down in the Barnyard." Here Rose's childhood friend sees justice done.
Perhaps the best-known murder ballad is "Pretty Polly." Question: How many bluegrass bands or alt-country bands does it take to play "Pretty Polly"? Answer: Apparently all of them.
Here's the version by The Stanley Brothers:
Technically this 2011 song, "Pretty Polly's Revenge" by Florida singer Fred "Butch" Burns, isn't technically an answer song. It's a re-write of the original. But here, let's just say the scoundrel Willie makes the mistake of bringing a knife to a gunfight.
