“Watch me lean and watch me rock”
Okay. Please stop whatever you’re doing and pay close attention. Because I have a very important update with regard to (re-[re-])selecting my favorite track from Girl Talk ‘s Feed the Animals .
Thank you.
For the rest of the day, and possibly through the weekend—and even until as late as Tuesday the 31st—my new favorite FTA track is, “Don’t Stop.”1
This is because the greatest moment in the history of mashups—possibly in the history of Western music—occurs at the 02:07 mark. When, for absolutely no good reason, Phil Lynott’s plaintive, “BREAK out!” signals that the song is about to explode into the heretofore unknown perfection of laying “Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)” over Thin Lizzy’s “Jailbreak.”2
It’s okay if you want to climax a little.
Okay. Wait. I changed my mind.
Because it turns out that the even greater greatest moment in the history of mashups—possibly in the history of Western music—actually arrives at 01:29 of the next track (“Play Your Part (Pt. 2)”) as George Harrison’s “What is Life” has hot, angry, makeup sex with both Huey’s “Pop, Lock & Drop It” and Dude ‘n Nem’s “Do That There.”
It’s okay if you want to climax a little again.
So, anyway. Thank you. Thank you very much. With certainty, I can now declare that “Play Your Part (Pt. 2)” will now and for forever be my new all-time favorite song on that one really awesome Girl Talk record.
I think.
You’re now free to return to your homes. Where you will join me in having “Jailbreak” in your head for the rest of the day.
Here. Let me help:
-
And, no, of course I had zero idea what any of these awful rappy songs by troll-like men in baseball caps were. That’s why, like me, you totally need the list of sampled tracks. ↩
-
Are spongebobfan879’s mashup and sample videos not the best? Best visual medium I’ve seen for this young audio medium. ↩
“Damn, you got me wide open!”
Just in case you’re keeping track of my embarrassing Girl Talk condition, it’s now officially a dead heat between my two favorite Feed the Animals songs.
The New Contender: Girl Talk - “No Pause”
Favorite Since Day One: Girl Talk - “Let Me See You”
The Fleetwood Mac/Tone Loc/Trina section that begins around 4:00 is easily one of the greatest and most boner-inducing things in the history of great boner induction.
Man. Fucking Lindsey Buckingham.
![Feed The Animals
This new Girl Talk record is a stunning tour of the last 40 years of popular music [buy]. The enumerable and wildly satisfying samples are like snorting fucking Pixy Stix, and, although they’re a lot more fun to pick out on your own, wiki-pee has an exhaustive cheat sheet if you get stumped.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Girl_Talk_Feed_The_Animals.JPG)
