Dvorak vs. Black Eyed Peas

The mashup to end all mashups? Dvorak has been credited with paying homage to all kinds of American music, such as spirituals and Native music, but who knew that he could also foresee music from the 21st century? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_(Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k)

The creator of the mashup modestly describes his achievement:

Not that I mind the allegations of "genius," but Michael Vanderwheel is right that the software did most of the heavylifting. Musically it's a fairly obvious thing to do -- the hook of the Black Eyed Peas song is the same tune as the beginning of the Dvorak theme, and it's a pretty famous theme. But the Dvorak was in entirely the wrong key, at entirely the wrong tempo, and the beat was far from steady. So I pitch-shifted the hell out of it (brought it down a 5th), and stretched and pinched each beat to make it fit the Black Eyed Peas tempo. That took a while, and it still isn't perfect--and you can hear some artifacts from the shifting and stretching. After that, the actual collaging of the hacked up Dvorak over the original was pretty easy.

Just making it a same tempo doesn't make it a good mashup... x(

Upvoted, but i thought it wasn't that good..

Note that I never exactly claimed that this was a *good* mashup.
