This is part one of a mash up in the sense that there is an accompanying story. How could there not be?

“Mercy Mercy Me (Nude)” by RADIOHEAD Vs. MARVIN GAYE

Radiohead appreciation days concludes with Thom Yorke of Radiohead singing “Nude” on top of Marvin Gaye’s seminal “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)”. It is pitiful that America ignored Gaye’s pleas of saving our environment in 1971, back when something could have been done to reverse our stupid pollution problem. Not only that, we ignored the tearful Native American in the Keep America Beautiful anti-pollution advertising campaign. We have sowed the hell we live in. Way to go, humans, way to go.
“What If Thom Yorke Sang Nude With USA For Africa?” by RADIOHEAD Vs. USA FOR AFRICA

In a world with so many possibilities, it is no wonder that we mere mortals have so many unanswered questions and unpaid parking tickets. The following mash up may be one of those elusive answers, then again, it may be Russian meddling. Only you can decide.
The take away from this is simple, USA for Africa celebrates and flaunts a false elevated sense of arrogance and pride, and America has received its just reward in the form of current president of the United States himself, Donald “Dirigible” Trump.
“IDGAF Creep” by DUA LIPA Vs. RADIOHEAD

I saw Dua Lipa perform “IDGAF” on the Stephen Colbert show a couple weeks ago. I was impressed enough to seek out the isolated vocals. Imagine my surprise to discover that it fit perfectly on top of “Creep”, in that it has the same number of measures per verse, chorus and bridge. I am more than convinced that the writer of “IDGAF” was listening to Radiohead while composing this song.
On the other side of pop music, Lana Del Rey has a song called “Get Free”, and it is more than a homage to “Creep”; it’s a straight up rip off.
