The next featured mash up is one that sounds terrible on paper and really shouldn't work at all. It marries a massive 2002 single from the first lady of hip-hop and a 1982 rock soundtrack song from a Sylvester Stallone film. The mash up in question combines "Work It" by Missy Elliott and "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor to amazing affect.
This is a perfect example of a mash up being absolute genius, taking two completely different songs and molding them into 3 minutes of pop perfection. Combining the instantly recognizable guitar riff from "Eye of the Tiger" with Missy's unmistakable flow and quirky lyrics coupled with the production touches from Timbaland means this is one of the most unusual but catchy mash ups I've ever heard.
Enjoy another serving of 'Mashed Pop-tato'.
