If a capella tune X and backing track tune Y had a baby, it would sound something like this
Originally a music mashup is when the vocals from one song are laid over the music of a second song to create a mashed up version that's both but neither. If a good job is done, it enhances the original music. As people play with mashups, the number of songs mashed together continues to be an experiment. And there's an ongoing debate over whether making mashups is fair use or a copyright violation.

Holiday Mashups
I LOVE mashups for the holidays! I think it's just the thing to liven up a party or to get a break from those old standards that you can remember hearing for your entire life.

- Santastic II: Clausome
- Following on the heels of 2005's Santastic: Holiday Boots For Your Stockings comes the new album Santastic II: Clausome. This collection of Holiday mash-ups and bootleg remixes offers a new and unusual spin on the classics you know and love. It's funky. It's postmodern. It's the intarwebs. It's Santastic!
- Santastic III in 3-D
- In 2007, we're bringing the Christmas tunes from three dimensions: past, present, and future, and pumping 'em up with the juicy breaks and sugarplum samples to make your spirits bright.
