-Nirvana was on DGC Records -DGC was founded by David Geffen -David Geffen co-founded DreamWorks SKG -DreamWorks SKG made Shrek It warms my heart that everything with Neil goes back to Shrek in some way
This song is crazy because it makes me think about Kurt Cobain walking around the city from the Billie Jean music video while MJ performs at the high school pep rally from the Smells Like Teen Spirit music video
This is based off an old mashup of the same songs, but in the original mashup, it's the vocal track of Billie Jean played over the instrumental to Smells Like Teen Spirit. Neil just took it and did it ass backwards. That's kinda genius.
The mashup is 10 years old and it's titled "Smells Like Billie Jean - Michael Jackson vs Nirvana". It's on here but youtube seems to hide comments with links in them to other videos. @bigga Get outta here with your negativity, child. Nobody needs you
this genuinely has a very interesting chord progression and if someone were to take this and play it with an actual live band it would sound glorious no doubt
Honestly a lot of the songs used in Mouthology kind of feel empty by themselves when I listen to them now. These mixups have ruined me but I'm really not complaining
Oh god, the chord progression really works. I would love to hear an actual cover of smells like teen spirit over the chord progressions from billie jean.
I showed this to a punk friend too! He just said "grunge isn't punk. Fuck off,Cobain killed punk harder than he killed himself." Further more I have no freinds and I am a punk.
@@fujifilm5127 I mean, grunge isn't punk, but Cobain was punk in every way that mattered. The only difference was that the music was slower and flirted more with metal influences. The metal was waaaaay more pronounced with other grunge bands though, Nirvana was almost all punk.
Neil is wholeheartedly why I believe that music and audio are the most powerful form of memes and shitposting and I deeply regret not getting into music as an art media alongside drawing because I'd absolutely love doing stupid shit like this My inspiration is Neil Cicierega yes I am not mentally stable His power is to be looked upon It should not be underestimated
hey as someone who also exclusively does drawing and has no idea about music, ive literally just started working on a mashup album inspired by neil's despite knowing nothing about how to make them sound good lol, remember its never too late to learn :D
This is one of my favorite songs now unironically. It takes two well known songs which I like but don't love and makes them each about 10 times better. It's a testament to what one person can make with editing software.
The Daytona 500 is a 500-mile-long (805 km) NASCAR Cup Series motor race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is the first of two Cup races held every year at Daytona, the second being the Coke Zero Sugar 400, and one of three held in Florida, with the annual fall showdown Dixie Vodka 400 being held at Homestead south of Miami. From 1988 to 2019, it was one of the four restrictor plate races on the Cup schedule. The inaugural Daytona 500 was held in 1959 coinciding with the opening of the speedway and since 1982, it has been the season-opening race of the Cup series.[1] Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series Venue Daytona International Speedway Location Daytona Beach, Florida, United States First race 1959 Distance 500 mi (800 km) Laps 200 Stages 1/2: 65 each Final stage: 70 Previous names Inaugural 500 Mile International Sweepstakes (1959) Second Annual 500 Mile International Sweepstakes (1960) Daytona 500 by STP (1991-1993) Daytona 500 by Dodge (2001) Daytona 500 by Toyota (2007) Daytona 500 (1961-1990, 1994-2000, 2002-2006, 2008-present) Most wins (driver) Richard Petty (7) Most wins (team) Petty Enterprises (9) Most wins (manufacturer) Chevrolet (25) Circuit information Surface Asphalt Length 2.5 mi (4.0 km) Turns 4 The Daytona 500 is regarded as the most important and prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar, carrying by far the largest purse.[2] Championship points awarded are equal to that of any other NASCAR Cup Series race.

my little brother showed me this over the summer and I was skeptical at first, but now it's been a few months and I find myself listening to it everyday- who would have thought these two songs go together so well
It's really telling when the mashup that's Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean' and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the less imaginative one, compared to the rest
All of the songs Neil uses were featured in Rock Band at one point. Rock Band uses the original master recordings and their original multitracks, so all the instruments and vocals are capable of being isolated. There's this huge online repository for them.
Currently spending my Hanukkah listening to different neil mashup songs (right before and after the prayer) each day, today (the 4th day,) is this, so thank you neil very cool
I love how he’s the reason i am who i am today. He has contributed so much to the internet, i couldn’t even name everything. From the puppet pals to the ultimate showdown, he has really made something for everybody its really something else how he can think of so many things.
This is just genius. I've seen too many mashups that are just the melody of song A plopped into the backing music of song B with little else to actually play around with it OR just play both at the same time with little editing if at all. This truly melds both of them into a new whole entirely
why the fuck do i find all the cool ass shit when its time for bed,, god damnit,,, i need sleep but im completely hypnotized by this shit i cant stopppppppppppppppppppppppppp.........omg

In mortal terror, Neil's only option is to flee to a nearby neighborhood as Shrek laughs, watching the struggle.

I could not read it without trying to sound like Michael Jackson, so I'd guess you're right
