It strikes me as ironic that the two songs that are basically the same - clocks and speed of sound - were the hardest to mash up lol. Really shows the difference key centers can make
I felt Whitney over Earth Angel went over a bit better than the reverse. Maybe this tells us that vocals in straight time work fine over a shuffled beat, but vocals in shuffled time don’t map so cleanly to a straight beat
From those mash-ups, it appears to me that what makes a song unique is never the harmonisation but the melody. I still belive that can nowadays take a I - iv - IV - V and make a hit because you created an amazing melody upon it. When "the scientist" by coldplay came out, it was a overused "iv - IV - I" with an overused piano hammering but the melody just made smth new appear. I'm not much into jazz because I can't understand the thrill of a music solely based on harmonisation..
I would love to see one of these with country music. I'm not sure how familiar you are with country, but as a country musician I can say the music sounds very samey because well, it is.
Havana Vs Smooth sounds sooo cool. I love it. Especially when Smooth vocals and Havana's music.. Thanks very much for coming up with Such Amazing ideas to share with us David. 😊 Keep up the Great Job 💯👍
This is off topic to the subject of this video, but I have seen other videos of yours which address key changes, sometimes very complicated ones. I would like to hear your reaction to this piece of bubble-gum pop that was released back in 1969. The chord structure is A LOT more freaky than you would expect! th-cam.com/video/sSgfTXvqb6E/w-d-xo.html
I tried Rip X but it doesn’t seem to work on iPhone and my one device that it did work on, I couldn’t seem to work it 😢 I was looking forward to comparing Money That’s What I Want by Barrett Strong and Happy by Pharrell Williams
Great mashups, David. Here's some I made if you fancy a listen: Metallica Enter Sandman instrumental with vocals and some guitar from Lauren Alaina Thicc as Thieves th-cam.com/video/MYNrF7Tm-c4/w-d-xo.html Brothers Osborne Shoot me Straight and Aerosmith Hangman Jury - A mixture of vocals and instruments th-cam.com/video/TSkU5Q0XXYc/w-d-xo.html Cody Johnson with the vocals of one of his uptempo songs over the top of a slow one th-cam.com/video/Eir2geCDVgg/w-d-xo.html
I feel that this video is slightly misleading as it (Most likely not intentionally) gives the impression that songs will pretty much ONLY work over other songs with the same chord progression. Some of my favourite mashups I ever heard mash songs together that have completely different chord progressions.
📌SMALL MISTAKE: I used the wrong album art for the Linkin Park song! Sorry for any confusion. 😅
"Havana" over the "Smooth" instrumental was a significant improvement for both songs!
Cause Rob Thomas is not a good singer.
Santana without Carlos Santanas guitar is not Santana ....
Havana vocals with Smooth instrumental is actually amazing.
The Bee Gees and Pink Floyd swap is something I never knew I needed!
Bee Gees X Pink Floyd did NOT need to be that good, but that was incredible.
Linkin Park's Numb is off the Meteora album, not Hybrid Theory
Yeah, you beat me to the comment
Yeah, my mistake! 😅
@DavidBennettPiano it happens

‘Earth angel’ sang over I will ‘always love you’ instrumental gives me Wet Wet Wet vibes
The Pink Gees and Bee Floyds both sound goo-ood! :)
Combining 4/4 "I Will Always Love You" with 6/8 "Earth Angel" was impressive
I felt Whitney over Earth Angel went over a bit better than the reverse. Maybe this tells us that vocals in straight time work fine over a shuffled beat, but vocals in shuffled time don’t map so cleanly to a straight beat
Every song would be improved with the 'hand eyeeeeeee' chord change from Whitney's I Will Always Love You
Bee Gees vocals and Pink Floyd music is great, man
And then there's AllStar by Smash Mouth which works literally over any chord progression.
I want to see a video on this! 😂
12:43 Doomer Coldplay
Billie on Wham! I like it!!
The Bee Gees and Pink Floyd are both amazing songwriters and musicians. And it's chilling how good they sound when mashed together.
David Bennett: How many times you want to learn 2 songs at the same time?
Internet: Yess 😊
On the Eilish wham! 1 6 2 5 all i hear is "its my life, dont you forget" hahaha

You should do this with Creep and Vampire. Maybe even do both the normal and acoustic versions of Creep. Could be cool👀
That first one slapped
Wow, I got Whammed by David Bennett Piano.
Yaaayy I got Whammed!!! 😂
At least whammagedon hasn’t officially started yet.
I would love to see one of these with country music. I'm not sure how familiar you are with country, but as a country musician I can say the music sounds very samey because well, it is.

Numb is from Meteora
Oh yeah! My mistake 😅
Havana was significantly improved!
New DJ blend ideas 👀
i need a full version of havanna over smooth
So, basically, Whitney will sound great on anything? Noted.
Hell yeah! In her prime, the girl could have sung twinkle twinkle little star and I’d probably have cried
Of! A couple OF, dammit!
I love that - in contrast to playing the original versions - you seem to have less problems in playing longer sections on youtube.
Whitney giving that wonderful Dolly Parton song the foghorn treatment...☹️
I love these videos.
Thank you!
Mansun’s Egg Shaped Fred Vs Tears For Fears’ Shout. Try it!
This is brilliant.
Thank you 😊
These swapping same chords videos are super,great thanks for them all💪
Love these! Half expected to see In the End combined with All Star.
I mashed up Smooth with Photograph by Def Leppard on my other channel a few years ago.
I love these 😊
I can't decide which I like more, Otherside by Linkin Park or Numb by the Chili Peppers 🤔

I love this cause it looks like it shouldn't work but it does 😂
I forget, did you do _Oh Woman Oh Why_ x _Let It Be_ in the earlier video?
Wham with Billie instrumental makes me feel the weirdest feeling
Please a Beatles Special ^^
Is that Billie Eilish x Wham a 1,6,2,5 progression…🤔
Does David know about there I ruined it?
do it so it's one really long song just calling between a bunch
I tried Rip X but it doesn’t seem to work on iPhone and my one device that it did work on, I couldn’t seem to work it 😢
I was looking forward to comparing Money That’s What I Want by Barrett Strong and Happy by Pharrell Williams
Hi David, can you compare Robbie Williams new song “Forbidden Road” with Jim Croce’s “I Got a Name”?
Great mashups, David. Here's some I made if you fancy a listen:
Metallica Enter Sandman instrumental with vocals and some guitar from Lauren Alaina Thicc as Thieves
th-cam.com/video/MYNrF7Tm-c4/w-d-xo.html
Brothers Osborne Shoot me Straight and Aerosmith Hangman Jury - A mixture of vocals and instruments
th-cam.com/video/TSkU5Q0XXYc/w-d-xo.html
Cody Johnson with the vocals of one of his uptempo songs over the top of a slow one
th-cam.com/video/Eir2geCDVgg/w-d-xo.html
Wham! revamped - much better.

Doe this count for playing whamageddon?
no
by Billie Wham
yes new video
The coldplay ones caught me by a surprise
Oooooh you are gonna get so much hate from Linkin Park fans 😅
don't speak
Sounds horrible
Interesting concept! Clever! However it might not always work because of the accidentals maybe matching the melody.
Mash up hey Jude with Sympathy for the Devil, that'd be funny
