Stupidity> Mashed songs

Rant: I was at the gym and the TV was again stuck on this music channel, TFM or TMF or what ever the hell its called. Total Fiasco Music. Anyway, they played these... mixes, titled 'mashed up songs' or something like that, and this must be the pinnacle of artistic inaptitude combined with utter lack of taste.

They'd grabbed a rock classic or a newer song with a catchy riff (Survivor's Eye of the Tiger, Prodigy's Firestarter, something by The Strokes...) pasted on top the vocal track and maybe a little bass drum from a dance/r'n'b/soul abomination (Christina, Mark David, Blue Cantrell or WTF ever they were...), applied a little automatic timing adjustment - and voila, there's a new track. Worse yet, the music videos were simply a collection of clips in chronological order, telling the exact same story as the original abomination without any applied creativity. Clips of the 'background' were added here and there, sometimes slightly in a different order - but only because the 'mixer' had decided to use only something like 8 bars of the original track.
