Come On Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners vs. LL Cool J’s Mama Said Knock You Out

This mashup takes two great songs to make a third, which is exactly what a great mashup does…and this is a great mashup. In addition to the sheer grooviness of the music, this video has something on its mind. Thriftshop XL, the cat behind the video re-mix, has this to say:

By selectively editing just a few shots over and over, the story of Kevin and Eileen becomes altogether more sinister. He and his friends harass her on the street daily, hold her against her will, even chase and catch her at one point. Meanwhile, in a darkened boxing ring, LL Cool J practices his uppercut.
