thank you for the correction. but i blame the alphanumeric streaming readout on my HD radio which displayed the name of the wrong betty.naturalplastic wrote:
I think you mean "Medley", not "mashup".
When musicians mix two songs its called a 'medley", if a deejay mixes two recordings its called a "mashup".
Two seperate adhoc bands of studio musicians did medleys of the aforementioned Steely Dan and Micheal Jackson songs (one under the moniker of "Hot House" and the other as "Slingshot")both got airplay in the eighties. It is an extremely cool concept. The rock hit from 1973 wedded to dance hit of 1983. As you said the two songs are both in the same key and have the same baseline. Even the two storylines in the lyrics seemed to go together somehow.
Im sure deejays have done mashups of the two songs in recent years though I couldnt find any on the web when I looked sometime ago.

thanx
i have been using analog audio restoration techniques since '91, and digital techniques since '94, so i've had almost 2 decades of experience via trial and [much] error, in this field. and i've been collecting odd music [and some even music also] since i was a child, almost 4 decades worth. a lot of my collection is in less than pristine condition however, so that is why i got into the restoration bit in the first place. crackles and pops drive me batty, so that was the first type of grotzel i learnt to eliminate.
