Teen Spirit is in F minor and Rick Roll is in Db Major, which are related keys, so they actually do share the same set of scale notes. There are a few spots with the harmony and melody clash quite a bit. Fun stuff. Here is another Teen Spirit mashup: http://www.videosift.com/video/Best-Mashup-Ever-Smells-Like-Bootylicio

Asphyxium913, I'm guessing this is a Karaoke recording of Teen Spirit, and a pretty decent recreation at that.


You generally can't just throw a major melody onto a chord progression in the relative minor, as shown by how this video's sound turned out. It isn't just that the root isn't the same as the chord progressions, but you also get a lot of clashing notes since the vocal melody was written assuming an entirely different chord progression.

...I just don't like it, lol.

The vocals from Astley aren't on the same root note as the guitar line, so it sounds like shit to me. I don't like it.


Amen, sir.

Awesome. This is actually the second mash up I've seen on the sift that is surprisingly awesome.
The other is Closer (NIN) and Come together (Beatles) and is located here:

I don't think there's a person on this planet who can say, with certainty, that these aren't the lyrics Cobain is singing.


Actually, I've never had much of a problem understanding the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. A few bits here and there were tough to make out, but the single for Lithium helpfully came with a sheet listing the fully lyrics to the whole Nevermind album - should have been included with the album originally I suppose, but I don't think they expected anyone to care (ie, they had no idea it would blow up like it did).

"Tourette's" on the other hand is completely unintelligible. That could very well be a cover of Mr Astley's masterpiece.

Thanks for all the votes btw - I never expected this to hit the top 15. People's tastes here continuously surprise me.

That was scary. I almost hated to upvote it. Now I feel dirty.
