I've also heard that "Mr. Blue Sky" was Jeff Lynne's attempt to expand the McCartney bridge section of "A Day in the Life" into a full song. One small point of comparison: the panting breath in "Mr. Blue Sky" after the line "running down the avenue" and the panting breath in "A Day in the Life" after the line "I noticed I was late".

@@RifqiMainGitar oh, there was already a really popular mashup that also included Aerosmith at the end also in the mid 2000s. It's called boulevard of broken songs Edit: it's the one by dean gray
David : "See if you can identify the 2 songs that have been swapped around". Subscribers (before the audio even plays) : "A Beatles song and a Radiohead song?"
David Bennet delving briefly and accidentally onto mashup culture wasn't something I would have expected him to do... but it makes so much sense for him to do so.
More! I think there's a sub-genre of *random-song* plus Rick Astley's Never gonna give you up that could be explored. ruclips.net/video/mTXzFkYX7-g/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/oT3mCybbhf0/видео.html come to mind.
@@prettychords Hey, it's in the channel name. Mr. David Piano. Middle name: Bennett. (By the way, "Peano" - said like "piano" - is actually a real surname. Only discovered that the other day, watching a video that actually had a real "Mr. Peano" in it. And I thought "wait, what? His surname is piano?". Yes, but spelt "Peano". Though totally said like "piano". I'm surprised Dickens didn't use that for a musician in one of his novels, fond as he was of "nominative determinism" for his characters.)
Sexy Sadie vocals with Radiohead worked really well. I very much appreciate that when you do videos that feature a tool that you think so hard about showing practical applications which reveal new insights about songs we've listened to.
Same here! It's always a magic moment. Most of the time at least one of the songs is pretty obscure though so it's tough to find anyone else appreciating the mashup :
I did it a while aog with the Within Temptation song "Faster" and "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak. Matched perfectly. Now I have this rock/metal version of wicked game...haha
These swapped songs are really awesome to hear and work so well! Would love to hear more examples, regardless of whether the chord progressions are uncommon or not. I applaud your work, David!
There is a really well known mashup for Wonderwall and Boulevard of Broken Dreams that also uses Travis' Writing To Reach You (which btw mentions Wonderwall in the lyrics) and Eminem's version of Dream On in Sing For The Moment. One swap that I usually do to piss off my friends is Radiohead's Creep instrumental with Andres Calamaro's Flaca, have to mention that these two doesn't share chord progression so if you want to explain why this works so good I'll be glad to hear it
For people interested in song mashups I would suggest Neil Cicierega's Mouth album series, there's a lot of clever combinations in them. Most tracks even contain more than 2 songs, some really funny and others super groovy.
Years ago, I noticed a somewhat shocking similarity between The First Edition’s “What Condition My Condition Was In” and Johnny Rivers’ “Secret Agent Man.” You can practically sing the words of either while the other is playing.
These remind me of those pictures I see posted around the place where two jigsaw puzzles with identical cutting patterns are merged, so you get a perfectly-assembled jigsaw of a train galloping on horse legs.
I like how Gallagher waited till John Lennon died to use Imagine's Chord Progression and Rhythm and basically copy pasting the entire Piano part in Don't Look Back in Anger. What a decent and inspired person.
But if it was classed as plagurising, they wouldn't have to pay owt to the the remaining Beatles , or the deceased ones family as last i heard Michael jackson had bought the rights to their music decades ago, although, someone else may have bought them off him later?
That was fun! I was only talking today about how “Someone like you” by Paolo Nutini sounds like the same chord sequence as “It never rains in Southern California” by Albert Hammond Jr.
Noel Gallagher has zero right to complain about copyright, especially on such a common chord progression. Does he not remember the intro to "Don’t Look Back In Anger," which is a blatant lifting of Imagine by John Lennon? This is all so silly. Another example is when Radiohead were surprised when they got sued by the Hollies for “Creep" when stealing/borrowing from "The Air That I Breathe." The beat, bass line, chord progression used throughout, and the verse melody was used in the bridge of Creep. and then they tried to turn around and sue Lana Del Rey for using the chord progression alone, with her song, "Get Free." The saga continues...
Nice that we have a Jeff Lyne thumbnail. I just saw him on tour two weeks ago. Shy guy, but really humble man 💪🐢 Edit: WEEEEEEEEEELP, thumbnail changed :0
The GREAT writer Rob Sheffield (Dreaming the Beatles) ACCURATELY points out that the ONLY Beatles songs that sound dated are the two produced by Jeff Lynn: Free As A Bird and Real Love. He's 100% correct.
Noel frequently revisits his own chord progressions in different songs quite extensively. For example D'you Know What I Mean is built on Wonderwall, while Don't Look Back in Anger is a straight Whatever recycle.
To me, some wonder wall, one of the most illuminating vids I saw. Especially, the inversion with "Wonderwall" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" was able to show to me that not only melodies but chord progression instrumentalized (specified rhythm) are able to gain an orginal status in the sense of copyright. Where the very first example Beatles/ELO is strikingly chosen, as it shows that the chord progression alone cannot guarantee ... which makes me assume some mysterious relationship between rhythm and harmonies. "Later on!" Cheers.
I'm sure a lot of us found our way to David's channel after hearing mashups and medleys like "4 Chords" by Axis of Awesome, all of which exploit songs having passages with similar chords. A good mashup artist can blend songs together to the point where they feel like they were written that way. My favorite is "Intergalactic Spell" by The White Panda, which sets The Beastie Boys' lyrics against music by Alphabeat, but a mashup that Beatles fans in particular might appreciate is "Let It Be Liebe.Fertig" by DJ Schmolli, which has the Beatles music we all know and love supporting vocals from a Euro pop band most of us have never heard of.
Props to whoever made the subtitles because it's the first time I've seen that much effort put into them, especially in the parts where they're showing the chords.
One very good example that never gets mentioned of an unusual chord progression that was repeated in two hit songs is Ready To Go by Republica and Raoul And The Kings Of Spain by Tears For Fears. It's one of those cases where you have listened to these songs over and over again and never notice the similarity but when it's pointed out you can't unhear it. Also, another song with the Yesterday progression is Ya No Te Espero by Silvio Rodríguez. So now you can remove that phrase at 3:09 lol.
That diminished chord in Yesterday cracked me up, no idea why. Just sounds hilarious, like someone taking the piss. Having said that, Dominic Miller plays it with a dominant, interestingly enough, and then he goes to a major chord. It's brilliant!
I once made a little mash-up between The Fear by Lilly Allen and My Iron Lung by Radiohead. It actually turned out lovely, especially layering both vocals as a two part thing.
There was a very popular rock singer in Brazil, Raul Seixas. One of his biggest hits, "Maluco Beleza", is very interesting. He took the chord progression from the chorus of John Lennon's Imagine, (You may say I'm a dreamer...) cut the progression in half, put the second half before the first half, sped it down and made his chorus (Vou ficar ah, ficar com certeza....) Very hard to notice but when you hear it, you can't unhear it. Very clever, indeed.
El empezar videojuegos con decisiones que lo cambian todo es una fantasía que siempre he tenido en la cabeza, al gran Alva va a hacerla realidad. (Ánimo Alva, en muchos momentos te arrepentirás de esa decisión, pero merecerá la pena)
I went from being a hard-core beatles fan to now a hard-core radiohead fan.... first time I heard karma police I San sexy Sadie. Now its the opposite - radiohead are just too good, I've been truly converted
These types of mashup videos were all over the Internet like 10, 15 years ago. Even if people didn’t know the theory behind it, I think they intuitively understood when two songs were close enough to combine
Jeff Lynne worked closely with the Beatles, specifically George Harrison. They're good friends. Lynne even had George recorded some slide guitars for ELO's album, "Zoom". Lynne was heavily inspired by the Beatles, but he added his own twist of classical music for his own band, ELO, most notable in songs like; Fire On High, Eldorado (Overture/Finale), and even the album, TIME, which combines the sound of early 80s synths with classical elements.
Another Green Day song that sounds like Oasis: Basket Case & Don't Look Back in Anger! Other songs I've managed to mash together before (with fairly common chord progressions): Gangnam Style & Moves Like Jagger Crystal Ball & Part Of Me Let It Go & Firework Price Tag & Party in the USA Stayin' Alive & Another One Bites the Dust Thunderbirds Are Go & To The Sky We Found Love in a Hopeless Place & Love At First Sight Domino & Last Friday Night Dschingis Khan & Money Money Money
I’m glad you spotted this too! I’ve tried merging them when playing around on the piano myself, but it’s good to hear it done more professionally! I’m also wondering whether ‘California Dreaming’ and ‘Hazy Shade of Winter’ might at least be made to segue into each other (similar descending minor chord sequences, plus of course lyrics about leaves turning brown in winter).
Three like this from two non-rock genres: I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James, jazz/blues/soul) Tennessee Whiskey (Chris Stapleton, country) Blue Ain't Your Color (Keith Urban, country) Hear all three at karaoke, and enjoy singing the "wrong" song from the audience over the "right" one. (Not loud enough, of course, to be heard by the singer!)
David, you can now save so much time and listen to The Beatles and Radiohead AT THE SAME TIME :O :O :O

Ah, "One Song Sung To The Tune Of Another". Could be an idea for some sort of game show!
I feel like Mashups used to be a much bigger genre online that has died down quite a bit, but this would be super helpful.
Years ago, I noticed a somewhat shocking similarity between The First Edition’s “What Condition My Condition Was In” and Johnny Rivers’ “Secret Agent Man.” You can practically sing the words of either while the other is playing.
i always thought mr blue sky sounded like the paul mccartney section in 'a day in the life'
Jeff Lynne said he did that intentionally.
I think it's more "Good Day Sunshine". It's definitely a Beatles-y track
Sound like "Do You Remember Walter" of The Kinks too, and "Amar en el Campo" of Teleradio Donoso
Hush by Deep Purple
These remind me of those pictures I see posted around the place where two jigsaw puzzles with identical cutting patterns are merged, so you get a perfectly-assembled jigsaw of a train galloping on horse legs.

That's a damn good idea.
Thank you, David!
This is very cool! ELO sounds like The Bee Gees when you drop Mr. Blue Sky’s vocal into Yesterday.
