It's a day early, but since I'll be tucked away in a Jet Blue compartment headed to Seattle for the week, today's Mashup is in honor of one of that city's most famous exports, Nirvana. The band's breakthrough song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" signaled the arrival of "grunge" on the mainstream airwaves (supposedly much to leader Kurt Cobain's dismay).
Significantly, the song and album also knocked Michael Jackson's Dangerous out of the top spot. So, take Nirvana's breakthrough hit, mix it up with the song that really announced Michael Jackson's career as a solo artist, and you get "Smells Like Billie Jean." This is labeled as an "MTV Mashup," but I don't know the original source. Anyway, it works well. Enjoy.
Listen to: "Smells Like Billie Jean"
