Beyoncé Vs. Fleet Foxes
You can't escape "Single Ladies." No matter what your bookmarks tell you, Fleet Foxes aren't quite as ubiquitous, though they certainly rule the land of indie-rock year end lists. We recently heard Beyoncé get mashed with Tom Petty for "If I Were A Free Fallin' Boy." Here the Hood Internet smashes "Single Ladies" with "Ragged Wood" to create "Single Foxes (Put A Wood On It)." That's some innuendo, Hood Internet. As far as the results: There are moments of interesting synchronicity and times you want Robin & Co. to stop harmonizing so the lady can get her groove without those downers mucking up the leotard dance.

Why did you post this Stereogum? Why should I care about a random remix that's not even good? Why am I so mad that everytime I go on your site now it seems your posts are more are more irrelevant. So many questions....
Score = -31
Grinch
Score = 6
'cause its novel, guy. loosen up. have some happy holidays maybe.
Score = 7
I have given this serious consideration over the last couple hours... sarahspy, will you have my baby?
Think about it –
A little about me – I'm tall, employed graphic designer, I like music and I like asking strangers to have my baby.
So whaddya think?
Score = 9
I don't want Sarahspy to have my baby, I just want to caress her hair, spoon feed her peach sorbet and softly sing her Bjork's "Unravel" in a candlelit room.
Score = 4
no thx, dont wanna get fat
Score = 5
You don't have give birth to my baby! – You just have to take the one I have off my hands. Babies are stupid non-contributors with shitty taste in music. The little guy isn't even capable of getting me a beer... yet. My baby is still up for grabs if you are interested?
Score = 2
its probably because they hate you...
Score = 2
This is the blurst.
Score = 4
someone on Collected Animals did a Beyonce Collective track that whoops the foxes ass with a belt. rock over london, rock on chicago. gatorade. is it in you?
Score = 0
This technically "works" but it really doesn't work at all.
Greatly displeasing to listen to.
Score = -1
Their name is a grammatical error - shouldn't it be Fleet OF Foxes?
Score = -9
Fleet also means quick/light of foot.
Score = 6
the department of eagles vs. britney spears was so much better
Score = 5
troof dat joy
Score = 1
Finally Fleet Foxes has an original element to their music...Beyonce.
Someone should do a mash-up of Fleet Foxes with My Morning Jacket. That would be hilarious, and probably produce a lawsuit.
Score = -6
so apparently you haven't heard any My Morning Jacket ever then, guy.
they don't sound alike.
Score = 0
they do sound alike, girl. clean your ears out. PLUS 6
Score = 0
No, they sound nothing alike. You lose at music and life.
Score = -1
I'm sorry, but this is just awful, love the first two mysplice but 3.0 was subpar in my opinion and seemed a little forced. I don't fault effort, but the pinnacle of Team9 was the Smokey/Arcade/Gunsmoke mix, that was hot, this...not so much.
Score = -2
This is not a team9 mashup
Score = 0
J! man, i have not thought about wesley willis in forever. he will be making an appearance on a holiday mix "tape" for sure.
Score = 1
i'm just glad someone got that.
go to greatest hits #2 and get whoop a cheetah's ass.
aint nothin' finer.
Score = 0
Stereogum definitely has the highest proportion of bitchy commenters on the internet (of course most will take that as a compliment, which it is not).
This song is amusing.
(PS: Fleet = adjective here, not noun)
Score = 3
you're confusing stereogum commenters with brooklynvegan ones.
Score = 0
It's like listening to a really bad movie.
Score = 4
Well... Fleet Foxes are always nice but Beyonce has never done a song that wasn't horribly insipid and this is no exception. It ruins the pretty music. There are better Hood Internet songs guys.
Score = -2
Bitching is what the internet does best.
I enjoyed the song once, thanks Stereogum.
Score = 0
Well, it looks like the best Hood Internet song (R. Kelly / Broken Social Scene - "I'm A Flirt (Shoreline)") keeps its title.
Actually, that might be the best song ever made.
Score = 0
if i were beyonce, i'd be pretty insulted by this. fucking fleet foxezzzz are the most boring band to get wide exposure in a while
Score = -6
Hood Internet posted it under their "Year in Rejects" series because they knew it was shit. That's why it's not as good as DoE/Britney, R Kelly/BSS, whatever/whatever. Listen for 10 seconds, then delete. Don't get your panties in a bind.
Score = 3
i really wanted this to work, but it just doesn't. it feels like they took everything i both love and loathe about these two songs, mixed them together, and then forced them on me like when daniel day lewis puts his son's deafness medicine (uh? no.) in the milk and makes him drink it in "there will be blood".
Score = -1
I'm sorry but I actually kind of enjoyed this one...it was about the only way I could get through hearing Beyoncé sing. Let's not take this too seriously...if you don't like it, don't put a ring on it.
Score = 1
yes that absolutley just ruined that song. Butchered.
Score = 0
i feel like indie folk guy dating with r&b girl. but it turns out its not a good date for them.(i think they both perfect in their own ways.) the hood internet is a good matchmaker but not this time. sorry, it not work.
Score = 1
Fleet = Enema manufacturer
Score = 0
Another "reject" that is not so bad:
Deerhunter vs DJ Assault

Maybe 2009 will be the year people finally get over the novelty mashup mp3.
Score = 0
That's a great picture up there. This song is funny because it's bad, thanks.

Excuse me while I go vomit voraciously.
