Mighty Mike - Imagine a jump (John Lennon vs. Van Halen)

[fifaprodz]

this is real music!!

[purseonal2010]

Killer mashup! I could listen to mashups all day! People are there are wizards with music!!!



[Duda36]

Showwww!!!

[IJustWatchEm71]

GENIUS!!

[itaintmebabe714]

This is a epic mash up! Kinda funny too :)

[moreblack]

Why a picture of Eddie?

[cbappa2]

@moreblack Well, the band is named Van Halen

[1337Radio]

great mashup. though am i the only that thinks that the picture of john looks a little like Gabe Newell?

[TrippingTheTube]

Pretty clever. I want to know how he isolated the tracks.

[loganator01]

Eh this mashup didn't do it for me. DLR sings too fast for the "Imagine" beat.

[penisfuckeye]

I like this more than the original Jump

[oliverecords]

@penisfuckeye ahah me too it's beautiful

[ortzinator]

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

[1catpoop1]

@obamaisapieceofshit wow you mad bro? you got any proof for your statement? and this isn't a "piece of shit" piece it is actually quite genius piece

[embee87]

@obamaisapieceofshit Wow...I'm sorry. You must be a pretty miserable person carrying all that rage around inside. Maybe find a hobby to let some of that out? Other than trolling youtube videos. I mean, if you enjoy it fair enough. It's just kind of sad.

[14killerqueen]

@obamaisapieceofshit I WILL LICK YOU.

[rockinthewall]

WTF! ugly

[juaha01]

@DX - how often do you hear 2 songs and realise they have the same structure when they are 2 completely different genres? This guys a freaken genius.

[xxcharlysxx]

shit now i wanna hear jump and imagine what can i do : (

[DXSUCKIT1990]

Not a fan of it. Needs a mix of the guitar and the song. You just threw the lyrics in with the instrumental with Imagine, anyone could do that.

[Rayman3424]

@DXSUCKIT1990 Well we're waiting for yours.

[JAStewart]

The most fantastic mash-up out there.

[iHeartCav4ever]

Needs more Lennon, and it would be perfect =)

[HeiHolaHello]

@iHeartCav4ever yes!

[alexcvz]

Awsome work, congrats!

[davec73]

on every level this is beautiful - thank you mighty mike :)

[Wajlonis]

A perfect example of two great pieces of art - because real art characterizes in bearing many different meanings. It took only changing the mood of a song and it began to mean completely different thing. I'm amazed!

[Dalesdeadbug123]

@mrsqueeky1000 How sad..Imagine is by John Lennon. Not The Beatles.

[mrsqueeky1000]

The Beatles fucking suck.

[jackarss69]

@mrsqueeky1000 You fucking suck!

[youngprofessor]

Sweet!

[fakemessiah2112]

Van halen says do it, just jump... of the nearest tall bulding

[chadunn13]

@fakemessiah2112 thats awful

[TheEvilConductor]

I don't know if this ruined my favorite song... or made it better...

[popgun68]

Do ya think Eddie is freaking out right now, of do you think he knew?

[LynnBerry]

Pretty amazing that these fit together in the same key musically..... nice job MM!!

[mechanicalapple]

I'm actually in tears

[FeboSG]

Have you tried also the reverse of this? John acappella over VH instrumental?

[mistersteak]

Man—this changed my life. Mighty Mike—you're dangerous.

[asurfruc]

genius



[metalsoldier71]

guitar solo please ..

[Morganizer]

What, the guitar solo didn't fit?

[alorenzini2011]

Buenísimo!

[generosos87]

this is only because jump and imagine are in the exact same time signature. but its still eerily how well it fits

[newlindeschler]

@generosos87 Yeah, two 4/4 songs. That's a rarity. I mean, that never happens, right? Two songs in 4/4 time? Right. I can't think of any other two 4/4 songs in the entire world Wow!

Or did you mean the exact same tempo?

[generosos87]

@newlindeschler no I meant the time signature. That was the point of my comment, 4/4 songs are QUITE common and 9 times outta 10 the vocal melodies of one 4/4 song will fit well into the instrumental melodies of another 4/4 song. But i was saying its still eery how well it fits.

[finisher21799]

@generosos87 I think it has more to do with the key than the time signature. They're both in C, which is why it fits well.

[GardnerdFilms]

I love this! A mix of a couple of my favorite songs! And btw enigma, good luck reporting that to John Lennon, he's been dead for 31 years.

[gaspainsify]

@GardnerdFilms That was great man both his comment and your response.

[mikosoft]

Did you change some of the notes to match the chords of Imagine or is this all original?

[joji64theninja]

@mikosoft definitely original

[poupipou23]

@mikosoft Nope, i just sped Van Halen up to fit the instrumental, but didn't change any note.

[enigma19833]

I have reported this video to John Lennon for abuse of his copyrighted material.

[tunaman1981]

@enigma19833 Douchebag. Get a life queermo.

[halag]

@enigma19833 Didja hold a seance?

[worldcitizengrendel]

DLR>>>>>>>>>>>johnny lennono, as:

VAN HALEN>>>>>the beatles.

[worldcitizengrendel]

DLR>>>>>>>johnny lennono.

[tedcantu1]

I love this and hate this at the same time !! LOL

[zappavalerio]

excellent man!

[lepepunk]

figata pazzesca

[XxMcJezzaxX]

Bloody good mix. What did you use to mix it programmes wise?



[poupipou23]

@XxMcJezzaxX Thanks ! I used Time Factory to stretch the acapella and Adobe Audition to make the mash-up...

[Rockstarsales]

Can I buy this on iTunes? This is sick!

[Zevstampfer]

FREE EARL

[willie420204]

GO JETS GO! GO JETS GO! GO JETS GO!

[odin9021]

the absolute winner is van halen  john lenoon is garbage

[Jacksonrr123]

@odin9021 Fuck you you're garbage

[Ernesto9IL]

@Jacksonrr123 No, he's right

[bautterproductions]

@odin9021 your retarded



[averysays]

@bautterproductions I love when geniuses such as yourself write "your retarded" when they mean "you're retarded"! LMAO!

[Domindian2829]

@averysays American English FTW LOL

[AncientTulip]

@averysays Using "your" in the wrong context does not make you retreded. <<THAT DOES

[averysays]

@AncientTulip

What does?

You're "THAT DOES" is pointing at nothing.

Also, what does "retreded" mean?

Furthermore, I never said anyone was retarded. I just pointed out the irony of people calling others retarded while they themselves are making

[odin9021]

the absolute winner is van halen

[u16jp758]

wonderful!! more than 5stars *****+

[Salmijaervi]

Only now I realise how bad of a singer Lee Roth is.

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

More Like JOHN LEE ROTH

[jimjr155]

some people would have a really hard time with this, but i have to admit it's kinda cool

[JeremiahMT]

This is a funny way to sing Imagine, but a STOOPID way to sing Jump!! I love it though.. Thanks!

[SuperT0MaT0]

AMEN

[gedwest]

Is there a link to download this?

[Tonlondong]

oh gosh it works. would never have thunk it.

[tharg330]

That's brilliant. Sheer GENIUS!

Bravo man.

[trikkerman1]

its so sad that "Jump" was Van H. first #1 Hit. I figure "Hot for teacher" would have be their first.

I like 7 songs from "1984" and (Jump) isn't one of them.

one of the worst songs of the 80's and the 80's had a lot of shitty songs.

[cris931609]

@trikkerman1 Actually I think it wasnt a #1

it was a #2 right behind thriller If Im not mistaken

[mrzack888]

put some tupac in it

[hootyhaha]

As of 4/14/11 why would 34 people dislike this? Purists with no sense of humor?

[BenjaminMcds]

これこれ、すごいやつ♪

Van HalenのJumpとImagine のマッシュアップ♪

大感動♪

[jahrowdy]

shouldn't the pic be john with diamond dave? seems like eddie had little to do with this. -except for the backup vocal.

[mylespennington]

Awesome mash up. Would have never put these two together.

[jeffreydlazar]

This song was just chosen to be our MASHUPOFTHEDAY on mashupoftheday(dot)com. Congrats, and thanks to Mighty Mike for his brilliance.

[asurfruc]

brilliance

[206keenan]

This is a good song to be played on the aurora bridge in Seattle thay should have put this song on a loudspeaker instead of making a suicide barrier that looks ugly....

[bertisss]

KeeganAllen sent me here..... glad he did cz this is´pretty cool

[ardnega]

the thing about good music is however it is played it will sound good. perfect example here. dlr's does have the vocals.

[jpc08109]

how can you match a crappy van halen song with a masterpiece

[Bambiraptor0]

@jpc08109 none of these two songs is crappy don't criticise if you don't know the band. most van halen songs aren't as easy to listen as lennon's. they require multiple listens, like all the good songs out there. there is a difference between songs that are good because they're easy to listen to and good songs because they're masterpieces musically speaking.

[jpc08109]

@Bambiraptor0 I like VH i just ain't big on jump

[Kojak7snap]

@Bambiraptor0 Dude. If you think VH is less accessible than Lennon, you need to listen to... well, anything by Lennon other than what's on the radio. Day In The Life? Revolution #9? Hardly easy listening. A lot of the Beatles' easy stuff was McCartney.

[Bambiraptor0]

@Kojak7snap I've already listened to all the Beatles's music and i stand my point. you should listen to VH songs like push comes to shove or Sunday afternoon in the park or could this be magic or basically any underrated song from any of their albums. you'd understand. i love the Beatles too. they've made stuff better than van Halen by their music's relative simplicity, you don't need a thousand listenings to appreciate it because it is good, accessible music. that's the key to their success.

[Kojak7snap]

@Bambiraptor0 You're right, I should. I must admit, I've listened to The Beatles far more than Van Halen. I am now prepared to be surprised by VH; sorry for my knee-jerk response, and thanks for being informative and polite in return. Peace.

[Kojak7snap]

@Bambiraptor0 Ok, so now that I've listened to them, I must say that while I am utterly unconvinced, all three of the songs you listed were amazing; it's a darn shame they aren't more widely-known! Thanks for broadening my horizons, even if we don't agree on the accessibility thing.

[Bambiraptor0]

@Kojak7snap it's been a pleasure, i'm glad you feel that way.

[flinto2002]

So much awesome in that video.... I'm blown away

[satyajitsahu]

Pure fuckin genius!!

[decompressionchamber]

911 likes.  someone call an ambulance. LOL

[anycush]

maybe I'm amazed

[lewko1]

Look, just because you CAN mix anchovies and gelato, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

[sikhayar]

What kind of software do you use to isolate & mix the tunes? I want to do this too!!! Thank you!

[lewko1]

@sikhayar

If you have to ask, then you should NOT be doing this.

[ChuhKok]

@lewko1 Yeah, because musical talent and the ability to hear similarities between one song and another require audio mixing software knowledge.

[ibanginmywhytea]

@sikhayar google is a wonderful thing

[kenn0568]

Having lived through both of these tracks done live...I gotta say. , Mike, you've accomplished the surreal.

[kenn0568]

Having lived through both of these tracks done live...I gotta say. , Mike, youve acomplished the surreal.

[plutonium9]

Beautiful.....in some completely backwards kind of way..

[mdirtydogg]

That IS very cleverly done.

[JOHNBUX1]

Who`d have thought it ?

SO clever.

[synthrock1]

Sounds like a sarcastic suicide ballad

[cOVErY0UrTraCKs]

no i'm not mean spirited. You're the one who keeps calling me a troll buddy. Get a new insult.

[melodicsweepea]

Too funny - well done, Mighty Mike!

[cOVErY0UrTraCKs]

@chem7121 you sure about that genius?

[cOVErY0UrTraCKs]

@chem7121 don't tell me to watch an episode of glee!! all i'm saying is an acapella played over an instrumental is known as a mashup. Your opinion means nothing, thats what it is.

[chem7121]

@cOVErY0UrTraCKs : My opinion means nothing?  Wow - you are special aren't you? I see you're a mash up princess - so excuse me for being inexplicably wrong. Shame on me for voicing my opinion. You sure are a mean spirited troll aren't you?

[djCopyfight]

@chem7121 The time signatures haven't been edited, both songs are 4/4

[chem7121]

@djCopyfight - cool... thanks for the heads up. 

[Capicuaman]

Monumental

[asurfruc]

Brilliant

[JoyGrenade]

This is glorious.

[floydian10]

Brings a tear to the eye.

[killdaclownz]

MEH

[fabiocartman]

Excellent !!!! ça se marie trop bien !!!

[sweetperdition]

this is either brilliant or blasphemy. can't decide.

[MegaDyneSystemsExe]

man, this is like cocaine and baking soda... who'd of thought the two would be so good together.

[snoopycooter]

speak for yourself man .... i dont want baking soda within a hundrd miles of my powder . . . crack is wack :}

[Metaldudehere]

Lmao David lee roth is always so off key, and yet i love the guy

[KieferSuth1985Marx]

what the F? That is sacraligous

[Tytanized]

I wonder if the reverse would work: John Lennon singing and Van Halen playing... hmmm....

[peppeddu]

@Tytanized There's only one way to find out

[dvnbrat]

@Tytanized - i wondered the same thing.

[Yousefmesef]

@Tytanized it wouldnt work which is kind of beautiful in its own way

[zionravescene]

Now that's what I call.... one giant jump of the imagination.

[Wisconsin222]

They match, Okay bands modern rock bands need to get a lot of fans by sampling for a while and then write good old rock again.

[peppeddu]

As many times as I listen it, I still can't imagine how the two songs would have fit together.

Amazing

[markojaxzn]

love it. Never would have imagined... its quite a jump out of the box...

[markojaxzn]

love it. Never would have imagined... its quite a jump out of the box...

[OfficeMercenary]

This is inspired genius.

[SSt4rr]

i didn't think that it was possible to make these 2 songs even better, but as always the internet proves me wrong

[polo1975]

Only... CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

[codyjt5150]

Somebody needs to do this piano section, and put Vince Neil's vocals from Home Sweet home in it!!!

[peppeddu]

It's so good that normal people won't even understand that these are two radically different songs mixed together.

"uh? so what? it's just another song"

[methos5000sewi]

Heard this lil puppy and immediately subscribed to Mighty Mike's feeds. I now have something new to do on breaks. Very good stuff, Man.

[maxsbro]

fantastico capolavoro...geniale

[bakersfieldmusicnow]

THIS IS THE BADDEST REMIX I HAVE HEARD IN A LOOONG TIME.,....WELL DONE!

[theean]

Dude, it's David Lee Roth and John Lennon.

[GLGdj]

i mash up in genere non li amo ma questo direi che mi emoziona, complimenti! GLG

[obabaluba]

un genio, anzi la fusione di 3 genii

[meadroad]

FANTASTIC ! Well done....

[cheflebo]

Senza parole....davvero stupendo il risultato.

[theASFRfan]

Un genio assoluto chi ha saputo fondere due generi così diversi per far nascere un capolavoro!

[claudiakkful]

meravigliosa...incantevole... accarezzante..

[sixam691]

Da paura!!!!! Se non conoscessi entrambe le canzoni, direi che sono fatte una per l'altra...

[supposta200]

spettacoloooooooooooooooo
