Support NeoGAF

[KalBalboa]

A close friend made this and it's had me laughing all day. I have to get this off my chest somehow. Click for the song.

Spoiler

(It's a remix of Power of Love)

Part of an insane mash up album.

 

[v1lla21]

I don't get it, but I do have a credit card.

 

[The Albatross]

...?

Huey Lewis? I get the reference.. but.. why is this supposed to be funny?

 

[amnesiac]

the power of credit

 

[Boss Mog]

I don't get it, but I do have a credit card.

Did you never see Back to the Future?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I...don't get it

 

[Yawnier]

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

 

[KalBalboa]

It's a song of his from a few months back (my buddy's, not Mr. Lewis).

 

[Vanillalite]

GAF loves to ride trains though!

Choo Choo!

 

[KalBalboa]

Consult 48 seconds and onward in the song.

We don't need no credit card.

 

[Professor Lich]

Reminds me of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

 

[OneEightZero]

Click his picture, NeoGAF.

 

[sqwarlock]

Probably should mention that the picture is a link to the song.

 

[KalBalboa]

Probably should mention that the picture is a link to the song.

You'd think people would've figured it out. Added that tidbit.

 

[v1lla21]

Did you never see Back to the Future?

No, I haven't seen the movies.

 

[Alphahawk]

I don't get it...it's way too repetitive for me.

 

[border]

I thought the mash-up of Smashmouth/Full House Theme on that album was way better and much more funny.

 

[Paskil]

AWWWWWW YISSS, I love it. Insanely catchy.

DON'T NEED NO CREDIT CARD TO RIDE THIS TRAIN

 

[Oppo]

This is the correct response to this thread

 

[Intheflorsh]

Your friend has some serious talent. I'm listening to some of his other stuff on soundcloud and... wow.

 

[MercuryLS]

This is better: https://soundcloud.com/neilcic/first-sunday-2008

Also this is legit amazing: https://soundcloud.com/neilcic/modest-mouth

It's pretty excellent. No Credit Card just kills me for some reason.

 

[Boss Mog]

No, I haven't seen the movies.

Wow I'm kinda shocked. Back to the Future is probably the movie I've seen the most times in my life. I just can't imagine someone with access to movies not having seen that movie. Well anyway the movie soundtrack features several Huey Lewis & The News songs (Huey Lewis himself has a cameo role in the movie), one of which is called "The Power of Love" which is featured in this scene and contains the lyric "don't need no credit card to ride this train".

Please tell me you've seen the original Die Hard though, right? Right?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Gosh OP haven't you read GAF before? Anybody without a credit card is undisciplined weak willed oxygen theif.

Wait, an album cover? Oh I'm so confused now.

 

[hateradio]

Modest Mouse had a good run.

 

[G-Fex]

Do trains even take credit cards?

 

[KalBalboa]

Not this one, that's for sure.

oh okay Lol. Yes, I've seen every Die Hard movie. I'll buy Back to the future this weekend.

 

[border]

Okay, I think my favorite track is now the mix of Santana/RobThomas' "Smooth" and Enya's "Orinoco Flow"......is there a reason this is just one big megamix rather than having discrete music tracks?

 

[kick51]

it's like witch house kind of art work but the music is just mash ups and no ritual sacrifice. your friend should check out the art of Winston Smith.

 

[GrizzNKev]

The thing some people who make remixes don't understand is harmony. By taking one chord structure and slapping it on top of another with no consideration for their harmonic properties, the music becomes painful to listen to. Better luck next time.

 

[daviyoung]

the cacophonous mess at 1.13 almost made me throw up, you should congratulate your friend that even goobicii is less tone deaf than he

[lethial]

You should tell your friend to get a new day job.

 

[KalBalboa]

You should tell your friend to get a new day job.

He's never had to work a day in his life thanks to the boatloads he's made off of ad royalties, Adsense, YouTube, sales of his albums, etc. I'm not sure he'd heed your advice.

Here's "Modest Mouth."

 

[Anth0ny]

billie jean/smells like teen spirit

this shit is insane

Imagine All Star People has the most potential to cleverly ruin a song out of the entire thing, in my opinion.

Just found an AV Club review.

Nostalgia can be tricky and, if it’s directed at something you have no personal connection to, pretty stupid. The ever-accelerating nostalgia cycle is deftly skewered by “Mouth Sounds,” the brilliant new mixtape from musician/comedian Neil Cicierega.

 

[SolsticeZero]

That's terrible. The only thing I've ever really heard good on Soundcloud is the Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park mix

 

[Salmonax]

Seems like kind of a shit show. Or is that the point?

 

[Stet]

I must be really out of touch because I don't understand a single thing that's going on in this thread.

 

[mavs]

Seems like kind of a shit show. Or is that the point?

Yeah, that's pretty much this guy's specialty.

That Enya/Rob Thomas mashup...I feel kind of ill.

 

[terrisus]

Gosh OP haven't you read GAF before? Anybody without a credit card is undisciplined weak willed oxygen theif.

Yeah, who uses cash these days?

Bumping for new material: Crocodile Chop.

Same guy, my buddy Neil.



AV Club: “Crocodile Chop” is the most emotionally confusing mashup you’ll hear today"

The Music.com: "WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS ELTON JOHN/SYSTEM OF A DOWN MASH-UP"

Glad to see this work getting so much attention.

I credit this thread with introducing me to a lot of the hilarious stuff that's been posted to SoundCloud. I didn't realize they had a community so dedicated to funny mixes and mashups.

 

[Brazil]

Crocodile Chop is amazing.

Wait, Neil Cicierega? As in Lemon Demon? I love The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny!

Spoiler

It's way better than this Huey Lewis remix
