Hmm… how about a mash-up of Beatles songs?
Forum newbie here: apologies if it is verboten to link to another band’s Youtube video (I am a true-blue MLT believer, I promise you that).  YouTube put the video below into my My Mix feed — I assume because nearly half that feed is now Mona and Lisa, and this is so Beatles-infused:

This is a mash-up of a number of Beatles’ songs, in chronological order, sung by a six-person band called Walk off the Earth (in front of an ‘unsuspecting audience in Hamilton Ontario’).
It’s a brilliant arrangement (& I think Mona and Lisa and MLT fans would enjoy it). Which (here’s the mandated forum tie-in) leads me to wonder:Â what do y’all think about Mona and Lisa performing a mash-up of some kind? Maybe various 60s artists, or just one, as done here?

This is next-level genius, Robert! Thanks so much for sharing it with the club.
If you look around this forum you’ll see plenty of uploaded non-MLT videos, so no worries there. And anything Beatles-related will draw a favorable reaction from most of this crowd.
As far as an MLT mash-up, I’d kind of like to see them do it with some of their own songs. Now you’ve got me thinking about how to parse and sequence them for a smooth flow…

That’s an awesome mashup Robert! Thanks for sharing it, I enjoyed it. The thing with these mashup/medleys is, they pique your musical appetite and make you want to go and listen to all the full length songs. 🙂 An MLT mashup of Beatles or their originals could be fun.

Awesome… Yes, I can so envision the MLT Music Mashup… That would be ultra Groovy and MLTBuzzing Humdinger Dandy…
Thankyou for that Mashup… I’ve seen a similar one on YouTube for Mama’s and Papa’s stuff…. Mashups are cool, when the song choices and bands/singers are complimentary to the mashups… When it all comes together ?

Well, another forum newbie here too, and while there is a “chuckle” value to mashups like that, as a musician myself, I’m not all that sure that they hold much value. Admittedly, I have never performed a mashup like that, 3 or 4 songs yes, a verse and a chorus of each song often goes down ok; but I think playing the title line of each song devalues the quality image the girls project. They have done a couple of mashup style sets I think in gigs, though not of their own material. I’m sure they have said that they want to move away from doing so many covers and concentrate on their own material in future. I also don’t know if I want to hear their own songs mashed up, they’re all carefully crafted pieces which stand on their own. Maybe I’m just a kill-joy! After-all I am not the only MLT fan. There are many songs I would love to hear them cover, but I’m more excited at the thought of hearing their next original album.
Maybe we could start a crowd funding page to help cover the cost of it and get it released sooner. Better still, we should try and get them enough downloads to get an MLT song to number one in the charts and the success and recognition they deserve! And if we could make that happen in the UK first that would be even better, another band that had its break from Liverpool, and I know they are not English but who cares about that,- they live there now. But that is me going really off topic for this thread, sorry.
