You Stay Home, She Takes Your Mama Out

Could benefit from a little nip/tuck, but this boot's brilliant nonetheless. Scissor Sisters' "Take Your Mama" meets Beatles' "For No One" meets George Michael's "Freedom '90" meets Aretha Franklin's "Think"...

DJ Earworm - "No One Takes Away Your Freedom" (MP3)

Thanks Bex for the heads up. Keep an ear out for more at djearworm.com.

Very cool. Kind of reminds me of a Broadway musical number where multiple characters sing their bit, and then everything comes in together in the end in a crescendo.

This is the best, most musically intelligent mash I've ever heard.

Heard this on the radio in Bristol (England) a lot over Christmas/New Year on a station called "Caroline Rocks". The breakfast DJ used to play a "Mash of the day", and this was the one that had the best reaction of all. Shame it could never be released officially - it would be a smash

nothing to do with this, but since you blog about britney, i thought you might find this amusing.

Come on, try and keep up Stereogum, this mash has been out for ages.

Alsoe, I'm drunk - forgive my spleelling.

Why does Pauls voice go so well with SCissor Sisters?

Fantastic, yes, indeed.

Fantastic

I've listened to it 9 times

dude, what's up with not mentioning macrock? come onnnnnnnn. they didn't get a lot of big names, but travis morrison was there (dismemberment plan) and so was magnolia electric co. (songs: ohia until recently) and lots of other indie bands that fucking rock.

It's hard to sit still at the part where Aretha starts wailing "Free-dommmm!"

Genius! I was pissing myself with laughter when I read "Scissor Sisters meets Beatles meets George Michael meets Aretha Franklin" but DJ Earworm brilliantly pulls off the combination! I'm officially addicted to this mash-up!
