Subject: ECC: Pwn Monkey Mash-Up Challenge
Written By: Foo Bar on 05/31/10 at 12:20 am
So I've just discovered (two years behind the times) the delightful Old Nerdy Bastard, which ends with following work of genius, courtesy of the Evolution Control Committee: Pwn Monkey (Jonathan Coulton vs. ... well, everyone). (MP3 link is from the author's blog)
Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey provides the vocals, and he gets mashed up vs... well, everyone.
Everyone? Well, that sounds like a challenge to me:
(I know I missed a few in the first bunch, but here's a start.)
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero
AC/DC - Back in Black
Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
Go-Go's - We Got The Beat
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
The Doors - Break on Through
ELO - Don't Bring Me Down
Kermit the Frog - The Rainbow Connection
Heaven 17 - Let Me Go
Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats
(OK, this (around 1:27) is where you folks come in here and fill in the blanks! I'm gonna need a lot of help, on account of I'm only halfway through the song. From about this point, all I know is that we end with...)
Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey

The ones I could figure out right off were
"Groove Me" - King Floyd (HUH! Aww suki suki now)
"More Bounce To The Ounce" - Zapp & Roger
"Funky Worm" - Ohio Players
"The Champ" - The Mohawks
Perhaps "Shake Your Rump" by Beastie Boys but I think that one part is probably sampled from something else :D
And I think that Peanuts theme may be in there.

Yup, sounds like "Linus and Lucy" at 2:28ish.
Also, the chimes from the first seconds of "Born in the USA", Bruce Springsteen, at 2:17-2:20ish.
