A mashup will take two or more existing songs of any genre and blend them into a new composition.  It’s an Internet global subculture where every week, dozens of new mashup interpretations are unveiled. This song is a wonderful mashup (by Lenlow) of Beyonce, Dave Matthews, Jurassic 5, and Deee-Lite called ‘Work It Out’. One of many on the “Best of Bootie 2006” CD.

“One of the thrills of the mashup is identifying two well-known artists unwittingly complementing each other’s strengths and limitations: bacchanalian rapper Missy Elliott combined with morose English rock band Joy Division, ecstatic Madonna working with furious Sex Pistols. The most celebrated mashups are melodically tuned, positing a harmonic relationship between, say, Madonna’s voice and the Sex Pistols’ guitars. (The New yorker, Jan 10 2005) “
