I was thinking about the No One Takes Your Freedom mashup I mentioned in my Christmas post, and I realized that it kinda reminds me of Feel Good, Inc. by the Gorillaz [10.8 MB MPEG4 Video]. (A couple more Gorillaz videos on this page.) Feel Good Inc. flows between rock ballad-ish singing and rapping (by guest artists De La Soul) in a very natural way. In a way, though, it almost feels like a song that was designed from the start to be a mashup. It's a mashup with no parents. A mashup orphan? Anyway, I like it.

Oh, it's got a parent, or at least an uncle. Go listen to U2's "Staring at the Sun" and tell me it's not surprisingly similar to the appropriate part of Feel Good Inc.

That's a good point about the mashup feel. I thought the same thing about Andre 3000's "Hey Ya."
