Mashed POP-tato #9

For our portion of Mashed POP-tato this week we're featuring a mashup from two of the biggest popstars in the world. Today we bare witness to the pop marriage of Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift, as we showcase a pop combo made in heaven, one of Bruno's lesser-known but still great tracks with one of the finest pop songs of the 21st century, it's 'Runaway Baby' and 'Shake it Off'!


This mashup perfectly combines the pop sensibility of Taylor's 'middle finger to the haters' pop stomper with the Stevie Wonder/James Brown-esque funk Bruno (those guitar riffs!). The fit is perfect and really brings something different, in particular to 'Shake it Off', replacing the cheerleader claps and drums with something much funkier.
So, clear the floor and get ready to pull some shapes - this is quiet special!


If that didn't make you want to tip some furniture and work up a sweat then you're dead to me!
