Obama Mashup

“What’s a Mashup?” by Tom Nardacci

Mashups are well known in music on the club scene -- a DJ takes two records or sounds and mixes them together for a distinctly new sound with familiar beats and lyrics. One popular example of a Mashup is when MTV put rapper Jay-Z and rocker Linkin Park together to remix HOVA’s song “Encore” and LP's song "Numb."

Recently, a supporter of Presidential candidate Barack Obama took one of the most groundbreaking television ads of our time (Macintosh/Apple’s 1984 Super Bowl commercial) and spliced in Hillary Clinton. The "Vote Different" mashup has created a national media storm, appearing on every news channel.
