NIN’s Closer & the Ghostbusters Theme, Together at Last!
William Maranci took Nine Inch Nails’ Closer and mashed it up with Ray Parker Jr’s theme song to Ghostbusters and it’s maybe a little bit genius and a little bit cursed? Like one commenter says, it’s “the musical equivalent of cats and dogs living together”.
See also Eminem’s Lose Yourself mashed up with ELO’s Mr. Blue Sky.

a) that works surprisingly well
b) does Huey Lewis know about this?
Not bad. This remains my favorite Ghostbusters mashup.

One of my favorite tweets from back in 2020 was someone going full Trent Reznor while mashing these two songs up at Karaoke. Assuming that's where this started (I hate to drive traffic to X, but it appears that's the only place this still lives.)
This mashup works really well. I made one with Closer and INXS Need You Tonight that's a little less pro sounding, but you do get to see groovy analog video feedback fractals while you're listening.
It really only begins to work if listening with headphones: https://youtu.be/L2clhJs174Q
