Miraculous Mash-up

Take two average pop songs, put them together and what do you have? In most cases, something that manages to be even more woeful than the original ingredients.

However, here we have something miraculous - a mash-up that works! Take quirky, delicious pop morsel Katy Perry, combine with a re-hash of a 2000 vintage, cheddar-laden dance anthem and you have Hot 'n' Cold vs Toca's Miracle 2008. The opening few lines ("You... change your mind... like a girl... changes clothes.") punctuated by the first few twanging notes of Toca's Miracle bring out my game face, a strangely tortured gurning usually reserved for Timbaland bangers and tunes of a similar ilk. For those of you not impressed by Insomnia-esque build-ups, skip to the 3 minute mark to get straight to the moment in question.

'Guilty pleasures' is becoming a recurring theme...
