I have no idea if this has already been done, but I’ve had the idea for a mash-up going through my head for the past two days. As always, I ended up running it past Pete who seems to be my sounding board for this kind of stuff during a little, tiny, baby IM session….

Me: MASH-UP: MIKA Grace Kelly vs. Robbie Williams Strong & Angels & bits of Let Your Love Be Your Energy & bits of The Road to Mandalay (the pom-pom-pom bits)
Pete: oooh
Me: I wish I had an MP3 DJ deck for my PC
Me: I’d make that
Pete: there must be some freeware!!!
Me: I keep listening to MIKA and thinking I could hook some Robbie in there
Me: I think it would fly off my server
Pete: it’s got to be done
Me: I want to talk to you
Me: Then the intro to Strong
Me: And early morning when I wake up….I look like Kiss but without the make-up…I try to be like Grace Kelly
Me: I could be blue etc.
Me: Why don’t you walk out the door….
Me: You think I strong, you’re wrong
Me: You’re wrong
Me: FFS
Me: I should make this!
Pete: DO IT
Pete: it sound scool
Me: That bit where it goes Say what you want just satisfy yourself and goes really high?
Me: And then pauses?
Pete: befoer the heey!
Me: No – the piano restarts (about 2.16) with I could be brown, I could be blue but high. Well, Angels goes in there. And through it all…
Me: The bridge, then the pause then the light piano and back to the chorus…
Me: I can hear it in my head
Pete: you have to make this

Now all I have to do is find some free MP3 DJ mixing stuff. Hmmm, maybe my X-Fi sound card has something I can use in all the Creative Studio software that came with it? We’ll see.

Damn you, Pete, damn you all to heck!

I got an innocent message from Pete the other day that simply said

Mate, listen to Grace Kelly by MIKA. If you do not like it, I will give you £2.

I’ve since downloaded the single on iTunes and am happily listening to it on single-repeat which I never, ever do. In the word’s of Pete I dare you to listen to this and not smile.
