POV: You're at Coachella 2025 and they accidentally turn the Nirvana hologram and the Michael Jackson on at the same time

“A denial” is the entire premise of Billie Jean so even the lyrics fit

This song is crazy because it makes me think about Kurt Cobain walking around the city from the Billie Jean music video while MJ performs at the high school pep rally from the Smells Like Teen Spirit music video

this goes SO well tho. like the raw, loose style of Kurt's vocals with the precise, heavily orchestrated Jackson beat is just mmmm mama mia pizzaria.

Based on how much Kurt loved to butcher Teen Spirit live, he would have loved this.

Ngl, the two "guitar solos" from these two songs sound godly together

-Nirvana was on DGC Records -DGC was founded by David Geffen -David Geffen co-founded DreamWorks SKG -DreamWorks SKG made Shrek It warms my heart that everything with Neil goes back to Shrek in some way

this is A D V A N C E D S H I T P O S T I N G

I just noticed "Dave Matthews and his Band" "Huey Lewis and his News"

I can only imagine Kurt Cobain moonwalking to this

this is a clever name, but what about smells like tee-heen spirit?

This is based off an old mashup of the same songs, but in the original mashup, it's the vocal track of Billie Jean played over the instrumental to Smells Like Teen Spirit. Neil just took it and did it ass backwards. That's kinda genius.

His bottom lip is freaky wet.

You get the raw intensity of Kurt's vocals and rhythm guitar AND the forward momentum of MJ's bass and drumlines. Remarkable.

Oh god, the chord progression really works. I would love to hear an actual cover of smells like teen spirit over the chord progressions from billie jean.

Annoying thing is that “Jean Spirit” sounds like a person

That minor chord switch at 0:50 is my favorite part. They way the vocals stay on the same pitch though it? Mmmmmyeah. Just Funky enough.

Honestly a lot of the songs used in Mouthology kind of feel empty by themselves when I listen to them now. These mixups have ruined me but I'm really not complaining

Something about the chorus and Kurt screaming to a clean guitar cracks me up everytime.

This is the only time I’ve been able to fully understand what Kurt is singing without liking at lyrics while listening

this genuinely has a very interesting chord progression and if someone were to take this and play it with an actual live band it would sound glorious no doubt

Should have been called "The teen is not my son"

0:51 the Billy Jean back vocals scared the hell out of me.

This is my favorite of the remixes. I never thought these two songs would go so well together.

I showed this to my punk friend and he curled up on the ground and left out a soft 'noooo'

I've become addicted to Neil's music. So fuckin awesome

Literally the best mashup in the whole fucking world planet.

When Micheal Jackson's voice came in, I got startled. Also, this really legendary. Cause Nirvana knocked Micheal off number one on the charts in '92.

After listening to the two original songs, it's really amazing how well they fit together. Neil knows which songs to marry.

"Come Bad You Are" "L.I.T.H.I.U.M's" "Territorial Criminal" "I Want You To Server The Servents Back" "About A Thriller" Get to it Neil.

Neil is wholeheartedly why I believe that music and audio are the most powerful form of memes and shitposting and I deeply regret not getting into music as an art media alongside drawing because I'd absolutely love doing stupid shit like this My inspiration is Neil Cicierega yes I am not mentally stable His power is to be looked upon It should not be underestimated

I feel like the both of them would love this.

This song cured my cancer

This is one of my favorite songs now unironically. It takes two well known songs which I like but don't love and makes them each about 10 times better. It's a testament to what one person can make with editing software.

Load up on guns from a movie scene It's fun to lose, a beauty queen

MJ and Kurt will never hear this ;_;

Just me who constantly focused on shreks face In the glasses?

I've heard a lot of unlikely mashups in my time, but this might be the unlikeliest.

I wish I could spray water at my brain with a spray bottle for whispering "I just billed my jeans daddy" in my mind

It's probably one of Neil's less imaginative mash-ups but it's funky as hell.

THIS MAN IS A COMPLETE GENIUS TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS

my little brother showed me this over the summer and I was skeptical at first, but now it's been a few months and I find myself listening to it everyday- who would have thought these two songs go together so well

I love how the album cover is Neil looking seductively at Shrek

Just further fuel to the fire that is "Billie Jean can be mixed with ANYTHING"

this is unironically really good

The Daytona 500 is a 500-mile-long (805 km) NASCAR Cup Series motor race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is the first of two Cup races held every year at Daytona, the second being the Coke Zero Sugar 400, and one of three held in Florida, with the annual fall showdown Dixie Vodka 400 being held at Homestead south of Miami. From 1988 to 2019, it was one of the four restrictor plate races on the Cup schedule. The inaugural Daytona 500 was held in 1959 coinciding with the opening of the speedway and since 1982, it has been the season-opening race of the Cup series.[1] Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series Venue Daytona International Speedway Location Daytona Beach, Florida, United States First race 1959 Distance 500 mi (800 km) Laps 200 Stages 1/2: 65 each Final stage: 70 Previous names Inaugural 500 Mile International Sweepstakes (1959) Second Annual 500 Mile International Sweepstakes (1960) Daytona 500 by STP (1991-1993) Daytona 500 by Dodge (2001) Daytona 500 by Toyota (2007) Daytona 500 (1961-1990, 1994-2000, 2002-2006, 2008-present) Most wins (driver) Richard Petty (7) Most wins (team) Petty Enterprises (9) Most wins (manufacturer) Chevrolet (25) Circuit information Surface Asphalt Length 2.5 mi (4.0 km) Turns 4 The Daytona 500 is regarded as the most important and prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar, carrying by far the largest purse.[2] Championship points awarded are equal to that of any other NASCAR Cup Series race. It is also the series' first race of the year; this phenomenon is unique in sports, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start. From 1995-2020, U.S. television ratings for the Daytona 500 have been the highest for any auto race of the year, surpassing the traditional leader, the Indianapolis 500 which in turn greatly surpasses the Daytona 500 in in-track attendance and international viewing; however, in 2021 the Indianapolis 500 surpassed the Daytona 500 in TV ratings and viewership.[3][4] The 2006 Daytona 500 attracted the sixth largest average live global TV audience of any sporting event that year with 20 million viewers.[5] The race serves as the final event of Speedweeks and is also known as "The Great American Race" or the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing".[6][7][8] Since its inception, the race has been held in mid-to-late February. From 1971 to 2011, and again since 2018, the event has been as associated with Presidents Day weekend, taking place on the Sunday before the third Monday in February. On eight occasions, the race has been run on Valentine's Day. Since 1997, the winner of the Daytona 500 has been presented with the Harley J. Earl Trophy in Victory Lane, and the winning car is displayed in race-winning condition for one year at Daytona 500 Experience, a museum and gallery adjacent to Daytona International Speedway.

2:51 just noticed kurt saying yay alongside mj lol

This is brilliant. I would never considered mashing these songs up, but the way they're done on this is fantastic.

OMG my mind is slowly imploding taking in the brilliant arrangement of this mash-up.

I love how he’s the reason i am who i am today. He has contributed so much to the internet, i couldn’t even name everything. From the puppet pals to the ultimate showdown, he has really made something for everybody its really something else how he can think of so many things.

How did he isolate vocal/instrument tracks in the songs?

Normally its either funny cursed or horrifyingly cursed, and then there's this masterpiece

I swear this album is life changing

Everything about the album cover is perfect.

Everyone saying that .75 is the appropriate speed for this, but I have discovered true power at 1.25.

NeilQuest: As he exits the mind-alteration facility, Neil notices that Shrek seems far too happy. When he confronts him about it, Shrek tells him that his next trial is about to begin. Neil turns around to see a crowd of crazed female fans who have all been brainwashed to believe that Neil is the father of their children. In mortal terror, Neil's only option is to flee to a nearby neighborhood as Shrek laughs, watching the struggle.

I put this on in my car and my friends argued for a while over if it was Nirvana or Michael Jackson.

1:13 is literally HEAVEN

neil needs to release a karaoke version of this im begging i want to baffle a room of family members

I have stumbled across his music and am now forbidden to leave

Nice beat matching.

holy shit this is SO good oh my god it fits so well

Legit a banger.

Remember: in an alternate universe, this is Neil’s original composition.

Currently spending my Hanukkah listening to different neil mashup songs (right before and after the prayer) each day, today (the 4th day,) is this, so thank you neil very cool

When you have heard so many of Neil’s songs and you can hear every possible song to go in it in advance

Smells like Billie's jeans from his teens

I've been looking for a reason to like Teen Spirit again.

Neils power is beyond all our understanding

omg I am in love with this!

okay this mashup is amazing, but can somebody please answer WHO will dance on the floor in the round???

Shrek looks pleased 🤣

This is just genius. I've seen too many mashups that are just the melody of song A plopped into the backing music of song B with little else to actually play around with it OR just play both at the same time with little editing if at all. This truly melds both of them into a new whole entirely

If my thought process had audio it would probably sound something like this.

YUS IT'S NIRVANA BUT NEIL-IFIED *i am so freaking happy right now*

This song actually scares me. Like really. I can't finish it.

HOMESTUCK AS NEIL CICIEREGA: Bills Like Jean Spirit The Ampora version of Billie Jean.

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

The end part always gets me. Without fail. 100% of the time. Guaranteed.

I LOVE THIS THANKS NEIL-

Smells like Billy Jeen Spirit.

This is very good, and extremely catchy. Hell, even the 10 seconds of screaming at the end fit perfectly!

This is ironic considering that Nirvana was the band who toppled MJ from the top of the charts with the same album Smells Like Team Spirit is on a decade after Billie Jean was released. Wow.

The ghosts of Jacko and Cobain arguing while still in purgatory.

this is pure gold

2 of my favorite songs wraped in to one lol

Man... this is awesome!!!

"Billy Jean she is my lover Just a girl, she says I smell like one." I barely know the lyrics

This is actually such a good mashup

This deserves way more love

It’s hard to garble all the vowels with all these Michaels in my mouth.

I have so many emotions rn from this

after listening to this for so long but never listening to the original smells like teen spirit, it's surreal listening to it

This is amazing, no lie

This is my new favourite song

this is actually beautiful

This went better than I thought it would!

The secret speed to listen to this song is 0.75.

This inspires me to want to do mashups thank you Neil

how have i only just found this guy i fkn love it
