A mashup, innit, yer daft bandits!

Partial as I am to the old bastard pop malarkey-type mashup from time to time (Gay Christmas Mr Lawrence being a recent example), I'd like to offer you today a little morsel I was toying with last night, a rickety splice between BMX Bandits' lovely cover of "Something About Us" and the original track by Daft Punk, with me playing a wobbly 80s string machine as I sing along through a vocoder. I've knocked the whole joint out of joint and given it my best verfremdungseffekt processing, but I'll be damned if the song doesn't still spill with gorgeous emotion. Some pop is just indestructible.
