Shake it off, Shake it off

It's time for the best mashups of 2016! The very talented Adrian & Mysterious D have assembled a phenomenal album of the best mashups of 2016. Freely available to stream and download, with an archive of many previous years. Some sweet tunes to help you shake off those troubles.
2016 was a pretty tough year for many. Sometimes, all you can do is put your cares aside for awhile and have some fun.
Of course, it wouldn't be a 2016 post without some tragedy to it. The late Lemurrhea was the one who introduced these to me, and was himself often inspired by the terpsichorean muse.
For the tone-deaf and uncool such as myself, these are an excellent soft intro to pop music.
Previously on the blue.
Also famous for their "Santastic" mixes

2016 was also the year I mashed up Lionel Richie and Mulan. Why? I haven't got a clue.

Sesamy Generation and Super Freaks On Film That Feeds really work surprisingly well. The latter sounds like a real song, even though I know all 3 individually.

I loved BoB 2006-2010, but haven't listened since. This was a great reminder and a fun mix. Thanks for posting!

"vs." has never made sense to me in mashup credits. You're mashing them up together, not pitting them against each other. Oh well. Off to download.

In a mashup you're doing your parts separately and competing for props which is why it's vs. (for example, Elvis vs. JXL).

"Versus" makes sense to me in the context of "mashing" one thing into another (which has a connotation of chaotic commingling, even if in practice many mashups are very carefully crafted and edited). It means "against" or "in contrast with", and apparently in Latin means "toward". Seems entirely appropriate for two things that weren't meant to go together being nonetheless combined into one song.
The bit that a car full of lions posted above is a superb exemplar of the versus heart of mashups.

Yes and no. Versus is derived from "verto" which is turn. As an adverb it means more "facing" or "turn toward". Like when two opponents face each other, fighters, armies, what have you. Same principal applies to adversary. You turn to face their direction which is quite literally what the word means.

I love "Grapevine By The Ocean." I'm surprised how well that works!
