Item 1: Through the Fire and Flames, a song by DragonForce. Item 2: Safety Dance, a song by Men Without Hats. Item 3: Through the Safety and the Dance, a mashup by Crap Mashups.

I closed down literally everything on my phone in an attempt to make it stop yet the SoundCloud song is still playing. What is this sorcery.

This is amazing, and yet I'm mildly disappointed that at no point does it switch to the vocals of "Safety Dance" over screaming electric guitars.

I had the same experience on desktop with the DragonForce song on YouTube. It finally stopped when I started playing music in another tab. Bizarre.

You know, that dream wasn't as winged as they said it was.

I never realized until just now how much I don't want these two songs stuck in my head together like this. You really do learn something new every day.

Crap Mashups is appropriately named.

Not as good as "Weird Al" Yankovic's Brady Bunch in terms of Safety Dance versions, but it certainly is a thing!

The best safety dance is a Royal Jelly safety dance.
