I just combined instrumentals with acapellas. Scottica, I don’t know any way to do what you want aside from heavy EQing — which is something I haven’t messed with for these tracks.

I think I'll be doing some research, and trying to make some music today, love your songs B-man.

There's a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_%28music%29" rel="nofollow">full Wikipedia article</a>. Rick, I used GarageBand. Scott, I wouldn't presume to say these are as good as DJ Earworm, or anyone else for that matter. I think they're pretty different from Earworm, who obviously puts a lot more popcraft into his stuff. These are simpler. But you can judge for yourself. Howie, same idea but in music: “a musical genre of songs that consist entirely of parts of other songs.” There’s a full Wikipedia article.
