Music Mashup Monday: Michael Jackson meets Sonic 2? photo

[In Music Mashup Monday we feature various amagalmations of videogame tunes and popular music, as well as remixes and orignial tunes. Music only gaming geeks could truly enjoy.]

Recently, remixer AfriqueDeluxe impressed us with his chill rendition of "Green Hill Zone" from the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. Somehow he was able to blend Sonic and Black Eyed Peas' Fergie into something not only listenable, but wholly enjoyable. This was especially impressive, as he was working with Fergie's annoying "Glamorous" as a source tune.

He is back with a new tune which again combines Sonic with another unholy source, Michael Jackson. Jacko's "They Don't Care About Us" has been worked into Sonic 2's "Casino Night Zone," 2 player mode. While it may not be as "first class" as his Fergie tune, it's still pretty damned good. Check it out after the jump.

Also, as a bonus, check out the incredible remix from Chrono Cross by remixers zyko and Destiny.

I like this one more than the Fergie one but thats probably because I was a huge MJ fan in the early 90s.

It's been widely known that the music director for the early years of Sonic was influenced by Michael Jackson. They actually had to change a lot of music in Sonic 3 to avoid infringement lawsuits. It wouldn't take much to make a good mashup of the two at all.

I didn't even recognize the Chrono Cross song. For a while I thought it was the intro song for the ocremix site. I listened to the whole thing and never caught anything familiar. Maybe it was too much of a departure from the source.

Ahh...reunited and it feel's so good. Sonic 3 & Knuckles's soundtrack(the one Michael supposedly worked on) is one of my favorites. Ice Cap Zone FTFW!!!
