@@tracycatt Exactly, not marriage material for me... No matter what else is on the table. If I chuck on some music and there's not that vibing, nah. Jog on, please. Bill's stuff is other worldly, and I really enjoy it. Same for the band, Rock Sugar.
Michael Anthony is sadly underrated when it comes to his harmonies and background vocals. When he was no longer in VH, the band lost that layer and the music def suffered for it. I'll never understand why he's not given enough credit for it!!
Yeah it sounds like he moved celebration up a step so the keys would be the same but I wonder if Eddie blatantly ripped this off or did it subconsciously. I never put two and two together but that riff is closer to Celebration than Ice Ice Baby is to Under Pressure lol
I saw Kool and the Gang open for VH in Chicago in 2012. When the bill was announced, I thought that was a really weird combination. Nope, it was fantastic. They played a 40 minute set, closing with Jungle Boogie, Ladies Night, Get Down On it and finally Celebration. And that VH crowd was going crazy, singing along at full volume. 10/10 for Bill, as always.
When I first heard about that tour, I joked that if they didn't both take the stage and do a mashup of Celebration and Best of Both Worlds, it would be a wasted tour.
Just saw Sammay Hagar last night in Concord, CA and they must have seen this video because when they performed "Best of Both Worlds" they went into "Celebration" in the middle of it.
Unfortunately, putting Obnoxious Dave in there was a bad call. It was the worst part of an otherwise cool video and ruined the great vibe of this Mashup.
@@christianman73 Had a girlfriend, whose taste in music was extremely middle of the main stream road... Then I gave her Another Mother Further. I never saw anybody deep dive into soulfunk as fast as her after that 😁
I was almost certain there were at least one or two VH songs with horns until I read your comment and the first song that came to mind was "Shoot It" by David Lee Roth. So I scrolled through the VH library and it seems you're right... interesting. Clarinet even, but no horns!
Not sure if this happened before but I was at Sammy,s show in Tampa last Sunday and they mixed celebrate into the middle of best of both worlds. Bill you've have become a runaway train. Thank God!!
Bill has created a whole new art form with these brilliant mash ups. No one else comes close to his song choices and editing skills. This should be a recognised musical genre.
@@vadimastprojects8770 Well, Vadi(I can call you Vadi, yes? I feel like we've known each other for years, even though we've only just met 🤓), anyhoo, old mate, there are actually quite a few "mashup" artistes, just for gits and shiggles, punch in, oh, I dunno, something whacky like, ah, "mashups" into FaceTube search, and have a good ol' gander at the plethora of these fine peeps work.... just tell 'em I sent you, you'll be looked after splendidly. Y'all have fun now, y'hear?! 🤓👍
Well, it doesn’t consist of one man. Wax Audio probably made the best mashup of all time - Bee Gees and Pink Floyd. His Bee Gees and AC/DC is also great
This mashup has been living in my head rent-free for YEARS! It's about time someone realized this. This is the quintessential mashup for anyone living in St. Louis - Cardinals' early 80s World Series victory song + Sammy Hagar. They just love Sammy over in St. Louis. KSHE-95 would've played this every hour on the hour back in the day.
It's not just the fact that he can masterfully mash the melody of the two song, but the ability to actually make the lyrics make sense as well is a whole other level entirely. Blows me away every time. 👍👍
... and the ability to find THE other song that will be the perfect complement to the first one ! Bill McClintock is a living juke-box, a doctor in rock knowledge ! 😇
David Lee Roth's uncle owned a nightclub in New York where Kool and the Gang got their start. It was called the Cafe Wha and the band called themselves the Jazz Birds. Otherwise, it makes totally no sense that Kool and the Gang opened up for Van Halen's tour a back in 2012.
Andrew WK actually has a really interesting story about the first time he played in front of a crowd. It was at the Cafe Wha. I won't ruin the story in case you wanted to look it up but it's actually worth listening to. He's a great storyteller and while the story is kind of hard to listen to because of the embarrassment factor It's oddly wholesome. (Actually now that I think about it, I wonder if the guy in the story that he talks about was David Lee Roth's uncle...if so he never knew or didn't mention it)
Back in 1980, when my brothers were blasting Kool and the Gang's CELEBRATION, I was blasting Van Halen's "And the Cradle Will Rock" from WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST, their third album. WHAT A TIME TO BE AN 11 YEAR OLD MUSICIAN!!!
One of Bill’s finest to date - the editing and mixing speaks for itself; but the track is just so damned feel-good, the vibe and overall message so positive! I have a huge grin on my face 😂 +1 for the Roth cameo!!
I was standing up from my desktop to get ready to do laundry when I spotted this on my feed and I immediately sat back down....laundry can wait another day. A DLR split second cameo to boot 😆 Kool Halen 2024 edition.
Dammit Bill......I don't know how you got the talent to put songs together that have no business being together, but it's absolutely amazing and they bring a lot of fun and great music to a lot of people. Thanks for being a genius and for using your powers to create so much goodness in this crazy world!
Jeder dieser Mixe ist so genial; Titel oder Genre, die ich kopfmäßig nie zsammengesteckt hätte, erscheinen hier völlig neu und beinahe immer megacool. Dieser hier ist ebenfalls absolut gelungen! Love it !
This dude has the weirdest talent I've ever heard of having a knack for mixing songs together that have no business being mixed together. And it just works.
My favorite part of these videos is usually the guest guitar solos, but as soon as I saw this one I went "probably just leave it alone, because EVH, right?" Also, it's CRAZY how well this pairing works, vocally, instrumentally, and compositionally.
I've always told people this was the same chord progression as "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang. A band I was in at the time around '86 actually did a fusion of the two songs just like this. I was a huge Van Halen fan at the time. Eddie was my biggest guitar influence. Great memories. I'm thrilled McClintock put this together. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a long running joke for years that Van Halen's Best of Both Worlds musically sounded too much like Kool & The Gang's Celebration. This video finally proves it!
VH is my fave band of all time and Bill always does a magnificent job with their music in mashups. This is another genius brilliant mashup. Bill is a genius.
Best part of this video, is the fact that when I finally saw VH live in 2012, the opening act was... yep, you guessed it! Kool And The Gang... 😂
Wow, that's Kool!
So, you're saying they could've done this live? 🤯
@WonkoTheSaneUK well, it was DLR on the stick, so...
Yup. Nashville. Saw that same show.
I saw that too! Saw them at Staples Center
It feels like Bill isnt even trying anymore.
Because he just makes it look and sound so easy and natrual
Or feels that way because it was boring as fak? Two really dull songs can never make one good one - no matter how good Master Bill is.
@@UberLummox Compared to what? Or are you here just to be a troll?
@@UberLummox- Because You've written better? 😂 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤪
@@clevername1349 Uuuuh compared to songs that *aren't* boring as fak perhaps?
And yes, I'm a troll....sure. Because you don't agree w/me.
@@davidpaul6656 Another copy & paste junior? I can smell the tr*mp TR45H from here.
"Celebrate Both Worlds" is basically the purpose of this channel!
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻😎✌🏻🎯🥇
Of all his mashups this one is the most emblematic of the essence of the channel 💫
I want the best of both worlds... Thank you Bill!
Thumbs up from all who agree we need a Bill McClintoc radio station!!!
Oh HELL yeah!!!
The recording industry needs to award Bill for some of the masterpieces he's woven together.
🫵🏻🌎🎶🫶🏼 We love you Bill. Creating New #1's hits for some artists that have long ago passed away. Thank you sir. Each one them makes this a better world. 🤟🏼
Oh yes!
Bill McClintock in '24. The key to world peace, and that key is the key of Rock!
Bill mcclintock and dj cummerbund radio
Perfect thing to slip into a wedding reception when everyone expects just ‘Celebration’.
Looking forward to playing a bunch of McClintock's at the next party in which I relieve the DJ!
@@RickMacDonald19if I were at that party, I wouldn’t be able to stop smiling.
Mind blown 🙌🏻
My wife thinks Bill's mashups are REAL videos of bands she has never seen before! Lolin' Out Loud!
Laughing out loud out loud?
@@kitty1376 I think they meant "Rollin' On The Floor Out Loud"
Yikes... sorry to hear that.
@@tracycatt Exactly, not marriage material for me... No matter what else is on the table.
If I chuck on some music and there's not that vibing, nah. Jog on, please.
Bill's stuff is other worldly, and I really enjoy it. Same for the band, Rock Sugar.
Wives....
The mixing of Sammy's adlibs with the lyrics is so good here, 10/10
I think Bill improved on the Van Halen song.
Exactly what I was thinking!!!
It's the best of both worlds so let's celebrate!
That's what all the good soul singers can do.
This song is indeed "the best of both worlds"!
Yougottabefaakingkiddingme
@@UberLummox- Because You've written better?? 😂
@@davidpaul6656 Because you admit all you taste is in your mouth?? 😂
The Best Of Both Worlds!
That gets 2 thumbs up.
👍 👍
The opposite would have been better, groovy
The one second cameo by DLR was hysterical!
I saw it too!
Ahhh-ha! 03:25 😂
That’s the best part lmao
And he didn't even get credited!
Michael Antony’s harmonization with Sammy at those high pitches was spectacular
Michael Anthony is sadly underrated when it comes to his harmonies and background vocals.
When he was no longer in VH, the band lost that layer and the music def suffered for it.
I'll never understand why he's not given enough credit for it!!
Amen. His backing vocals are phenomenal.
How on earth does he make it sound like a real song that I've forgotten somehow? Like everytime????
Everytime!!
It helps when both songs have the same notes/chords. The main riff of BOBW sounds just like the main riff of Celebrate.
Yeah it sounds like he moved celebration up a step so the keys would be the same but I wonder if Eddie blatantly ripped this off or did it subconsciously. I never put two and two together but that riff is closer to Celebration than Ice Ice Baby is to Under Pressure lol
I saw Kool and the Gang open for VH in Chicago in 2012. When the bill was announced, I thought that was a really weird combination.
Nope, it was fantastic. They played a 40 minute set, closing with Jungle Boogie, Ladies Night, Get Down On it and finally Celebration. And that VH crowd was going crazy, singing along at full volume.
10/10 for Bill, as always.
Sounds like an awesome show. I've Earth, Wind and Fire with Chicago and Chicago with Huey Lewis and both were great combos
When I first heard about that tour, I joked that if they didn't both take the stage and do a mashup of Celebration and Best of Both Worlds, it would be a wasted tour.
I saw the Houston show on that tour. It was kick ass!
In the 70s it would've caused a riot. And not in a good way...
Kool and the gang are the perfect act to open for anyone. They can get any crowd in a good mood
Just saw Sammay Hagar last night in Concord, CA and they must have seen this video because when they performed "Best of Both Worlds" they went into "Celebration" in the middle of it.
Soul Metal forever! 🕺✨️🤘
VH is not metal
3:25 - So much to Celebrate that even *Diamond Dave* made a quick appearance!🤩 It's Fantastic, Outstanding, Simply the Best from Bill.
as usual, it was OFFICIALLY a party when dave showed up
loved the little DLR cameo
Unfortunately, putting Obnoxious Dave in there was a bad call. It was the worst part of an otherwise cool video and ruined the great vibe of this Mashup.
@@detroitdiezel7856it didn't ruin it. 😂😂😂
@@detroitdiezel7856 I see you’re one of the taller trees in “I Just Don’t Get It” Forest. It’s right near “I’m Not Budging” Gardens.
I can see Sammy watching this and thinking "I can get horn section to do this..." Masterful job Bill.
A soul & metal band out there HAVE to unite, learn all these McClintock mash-ups and take it on tour.
Yes, please
YES
Check out the band, Mother's Finest. Hard rock meets funk! Their heaviest album (that I have heard, that is) is "Iron Age," which is close to metal! 🙂
@@christianman73 Had a girlfriend, whose taste in music was extremely middle of the main stream road... Then I gave her Another Mother Further. I never saw anybody deep dive into soulfunk as fast as her after that 😁
@@Smo1k Right on! Kudos, to you, for giving her that great album, and introducing her to a great band!
This mashup has been in my head for nearly 40 years. I've just been waiting for someone to make it.
Yeah, I remember when the VH song came out, it was pretty obvious that the melody was “Celebration”.
@@paulrichter2863main riff. Not the melody.
The Michelangelo of mashups.
Van Halen...with a horn section? Brilliant! Bill does it again!
I was almost certain there were at least one or two VH songs with horns until I read your comment and the first song that came to mind was "Shoot It" by David Lee Roth. So I scrolled through the VH library and it seems you're right... interesting. Clarinet even, but no horns!
That would be Aerosmith.

This. ☝️
Wax Audio does
How can you have a genre that only consists of one man?
@@vadimastprojects8770 Well, Vadi(I can call you Vadi, yes?

Well, it doesn’t consist of one man. Wax Audio probably made the best mashup of all time - Bee Gees and Pink Floyd. His Bee Gees and AC/DC is also great
1:21
Van Halen: *I need more than just words to say-*
Kool: *COME ON!*
PERFECT TIMING!

This is the quintessential mashup for anyone living in St. Louis - Cardinals' early 80s World Series victory song + Sammy Hagar. They just love Sammy over in St. Louis.

Are you kidding me?!?!? Bill’s knocked it out of the park again. WOW.
I'm imagining Michael Anthony's backing vocals in Kool and the gang. Glorious.
Bill, this mashup is flawless.
Damn, these two songs fit together so naturally.
I can’t wait to watch the future VH1 “Behind The Music” episode about Bill McClintock.
There needs to be a series called Behind The Mashup.
It's not just the fact that he can masterfully mash the melody of the two song, but the ability to actually make the lyrics make sense as well is a whole other level entirely. Blows me away every time. 👍👍
... and the ability to find THE other song that will be the perfect complement to the first one ! Bill McClintock is a living juke-box, a doctor in rock knowledge ! 😇
Bill McClintock is the Weird Al of mashups. Absolutely outstanding stuff.
Words can't express how much I love your work.
Celebrating both choruses. I love it when you don't have to leave any out.
It's almost like we're getting the best of both worlds or something.
Rest In Power 🙏 Eddie Van Halen.
Rest In Power 🙏 Robert
" Kool " Bell.
it's ROBERT "kool" bell..........
This is genius I haven’t laughed this hard all week !
Bill made the best party soundtrack ever. Everyone around the World, come on, let's celebrate!!!
I can't be the only one to smash that Like button even before the music starts playing, because, you know, it's Bill McC, and we know it will be epic!
like most VH classics, you just can't say enough about cool papa anthony's back-up vocals...a true rock icon!
VH without Michael Anthony is not VH. End of story.
This is instantly one of my top 5 McClintock faves! The best Van Halen mash imo.
And this video edit is a celebration on its own.
Nothing like a little Van Hagar and the Gang to start the day
Another one for the soul metal playlist!
Without question the most feel-good McClintock ever. Happy af watching this and missing Eddie down deep.
Exactly how I feel too.

Truly the Best Celebration of Both Worlds with You!!!!!!! FIRE!!!!!
Can we just take a moment to not only acknowledge Bill's incredible music mash up skills but the video mash up is always spot on! Fantastic!!
Unreal great send up. Made my whole Labor Day. Two bands all about having a great time. Outstanding!!!!😃👍👍
Flawless. It’s like both bands played that song together. Good job.
Explêndido e maravilhoso! Obrigado Bill!🎉❤
This. Is. Incredible.
Sounds natural.
Fantastic work !!
Finally, a song about peace.

+1 for the Roth cameo!!
Bill did it again, a strait up banger❤ 👏👏👏
Awesome mashup. This is a perfect match right there. 🎶 🎵 Celebrate good tunes! Rock on! 🎶🎵 😎🤘🏻🎸

Never before did a mashup get a more fitting title ❤
STELLAR MASHUP! 10 out of 10! 2 of my favorite bands and songs! THIS WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!🤩😍🥳🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I celebrate every time Bill puts out another seamless banger !!! thanks Bill👍🏻
More of a tapper than a banger...if that.
Holy crap!! This is the best thing I've seen in a while!!!

...and Diamond Dave still shows up!!! Win!
No other collaboration sums up Bill McClintock's Mashups than THIS!!!
Takk!
Thank you!
Thank you for making fantastic tracks for us to enjoy!😊
These are amazing!!
Uncle Bill, thank you for not forgetting the legacy of the King Edward Van Halen.
I'll never listen to these two songs again, without thinking of this mashup! Brilliant!
Genius! I liked the Diamond Dave Easter Egg!
This dude has the weirdest talent I've ever heard of having a knack for mixing songs together that have no business being mixed together. And it just works.
Sneaky DLR at 3:27 !
So freaking cool!!!
Oh my. Mr. McClintock, you have outdone yourself. Absolutely amazing.

another tour de force. well done, as always
Another instant classic, well done!
All those people with their AI Musicvids (Band x in Style y) can never do the magic Bill does with every new upload. And he’s (super)human.
I was at the Vegas show in 2012 when Kool & the Gang opened for VH. appreciate and love this video. 🎶🎸
Simply Beautiful.
Yet another banger. Thanks for sharing
I've always told people this was the same chord progression as "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang. A band I was in at the time around '86 actually did a fusion of the two songs just like this. I was a huge Van Halen fan at the time. Eddie was my biggest guitar influence. Great memories. I'm thrilled McClintock put this together. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unreal how good this works 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this! Thanks for the smile!
Wow, I wasn't expecting that! Fan-f'n-tastic!!!!!
I never expected to hear a remix of celebration.
VH is my fave band of all time and Bill always does a magnificent job with their music in mashups. This is another genius brilliant mashup. Bill is a genius.
Yes!!!!! I've been saying these songs are damn near the same riff for years! Thank you, Bill, for making my dream come true! Woop woop! 😅
As soon as I heard Eddie's intro, I started singing the 'Celebrate good times lyrics' to it. Seamless as always Bill, nice...
I genuinely enjoyed that... plus I remember seeing Kool & the Gang support VH in 2012, much to my surprise. What a great night that was!
I wish all your mashups were on Spotify so I could blast them in my work truck all day. Love what you do, Bill. Keep up the great mashups! 😁
Just when the world needed him most
The McClintok returned!
Man…these are the best…CLEANEST mashups! So well constructed and mixed! PERFECT!
