I Made a Mashup. Yay!

So, one thing I love is a good mashup song. As in, take two or more songs that have nothing really to do with each other, and combining them in some way. I like this, just to see how a song is used differently than normal. So it was only a matter of time before this happened:

That's a mashup between two popular 2012 radio songs - "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen as the instrumental, and "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction for vocals. Why? Because I downloaded some acapellas and instrumentals that people made and these were the two I downloaded that fit mosts closely in BPM (beats per minute, for those less musically inclined) and in key. Good Time is BPM about 126 and key of E flat, One Direction's is about 123 and in E.

Really, even if no one cares, I'll still be doing this. It's just too much fun for me. :) And hopefully I'll get more creative than just two songs. This one I literally threw together in, like, 24 hours in my spare time. So, we'll see.
