This is definitely not the matchup I had anticipated, but to be honest this is probably one of the 5 best mashups/remixes I’ve ever heard.
It’s a mix between Paul Simon’s “50 ways to leave your lover” and Slick Rick’s “Women Lose Weight”. The original Slick Rick song, a collaboration with Morcheeba, had an eerie jazzy and happy feel to it, considering the song was all about how the character killed his wife because she gained some weight, and he wanted to run off with his hot secretary.
Definitely not children’s material. Still, it’s rare that you find two songs that match so well in sound and (sort of) in topic. Simon’s chorus about looking for ways to leave your lover is a strong counterpoint to Rick’s murderous intentions. I think they play off each other pretty well, and I suggest you listen to it below.
