"Girl Talk" messes with your head
On a recent episode of NPR's All Songs Considered Podcast, I was introduced to Girl Talk. Which is some producer named Gregg Gillis. And basically, he makes entire songs out of just samples. It confuses and intrigues the brain. You know those great montage sequences they show during the Oscars or Emmys and hundreds of familiar images quickly flash across the screen? Well this is the audio version of that.
One time at work I grabbed Chick Fil-A for lunch but they forgot to give me BBQ sauce to put on my sandwich. So when I got back to the office I used some Arby's sauce that was in the fridge. My head was immediately troubled by the fact that two separate eating experiences were being combined. It wasn't necessarily bad, just very confusing. That's kind of how this video makes me feel. Roy Orbison/Traveling Wilburys singing over a rap track and then a quick Dee-Lite segue into Salt N Pepa rapping along with Kurt Cobain. I kinda dig it, I kind of hate it. Judge for yourself.
