In one hypothetical hand, I hold an instrumental version of [Trent Reznor’s](http://www.nin.com/?ref=vjarmy.com) seminal (ha!) single, *Closer*. The original is directly sexual and raw. It continues to have one of the most familiar refrains in recent musical history – you know, the one about, er, doing things to people like an animal and feeling them from the inside.

In my other hypothetical hand, I hold the original staged version of \*Business Time\* by New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk rock parody band, [*Flight Of The Conchords*](http://www.conchords.co.nz/?ref=vjarmy.com). Never has the actual process of lovemaking been so accurately described.

You can see where this is going, I’m sure. And certainly the photoshopped feature image gave it away.

I would traditionally use this paragraph to half-heartedly apologize for ruining perfectly good songs in my mashups. Mocking my usual inability to find appropriate loops or sighing about parts where the track trainwreck, I would try to lower expectations.

Not this time. This one came out pretty well.

(For the technically inclined, this was done in a very uncomplicated manner in [Ableton Suite 7](http://www.ableton.com/suite?ref=vjarmy.com).)
