In honor of DJ Hero bringing us that much closer to every lame Guitar Hero parody becoming reality, I've compiled a list of the best song mash-ups floating around the internet. YouTube is a great vehicle for the art of the mashup, as hobbyists often take on the extra challenge of mixing the two music videos, in addition to syncing the vocals, usually failing at both. Like YouTube as whole and DJ Hero itself, however, through the dreck, some real gems emerge.

Now onto the "No, I don't recognize either of those songs...but that is kind of catchy" division:
The cream of the professionally made crop:
And finally, proof that the best [mayne] YouTube videos are just jokes about other YouTube videos:
Lots of music. No bullshit.
