WAITING FOR THE ICE CREAM MAN

Calm down. It's fake.
I haven't run into this one for a long while. Forgive me if you've heard it, this is for those who haven't. Yo, pimply faced freshmen, I'm assuming you know the Archies' "Sugar Sugar", and you are aware of the Velvet Underground. If not, go to Wikipedia and/or YouTube. We won't hold your hands here. If you do know them and realize how diametrically opposed they are, you'll probably find this interesting. It's a mash up by Mark Vidler (who if I remember correctly went by Go Home Productions). "Velvet Sugar" mixes the vocals from "Sugar Sugar" and the music of the Velvet Underground. It's much more effective than it sounds. He did some other good ones, one favorite was Sex Pistols vs Madonna, "Ray of Gob".
