I don’t know about you, but I remember watching The Matrix for the first time and thinking, “This is OK, but I sure wish there was a way to make it more like a bar mitzvah.” Well thanks to the neverending creative juices of the internet, the inevitable has happened. Someone mashed up the lobby fight scene in The Matrix with Lou Bega’s classic hit, “Mambo No. 5.”
It’s not the most inspired mashup that I’ve ever seen, but I like the idea. I think that more classic movies should be re-dubbed with the worst songs of the 90s. Maybe The English Patient with Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping” or Precious with Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” The possibilities are endless. I expect more from you, anonymous Internet people.

I was talking with a friend the other day about how there aren’t enough songs featuring the TROMpet
When I saw the headline I thought they were making a fifth one, then I actually searched for Matrix 4.
Shakespeare In Love mixed with “Rump Shaker” would be glorious.
I hope Lou got paid for this. He could probably use a little bit of royalties in his life.
Whoever mashes up a stream of girl’s names with a hail of bullets belongs on some sort of watch list.
Or my Christmas card list. I dunno’.
Come on, Shop. Nobody here sends Christmas cards.
Magazine cut-out notes tied to a brick and hurled through someone’s window, yes. Christmas cards, no.
I’m so old fashioned.
I always enjoyed the first one, but found “First Blood Part 2″ to be a rather standard action affair. The third outing just felt stale, despite some original set pieces, whereas part 4 was an absolute return to form. Stallone gave us a slice of carnage and over-the-top violence Hollywood hadn’t treated us to for years.
Oh…MAMBO No. 5. Shit.
Fun fact: Lou Bega is a UNC alum.
Finally the iron is hot for my Breakfast at Tiffany’s mash-up. Deep Blue Something and Yellow-Face Mickey Rooney will earn me internet green.
I would watch that, JDobbs. I would watch the hell out of that.
I’ve heard that David Fincher secretly made The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to sync up with Touch My Body perfectly.
I heard if you play Dark Side of the Moon backwards, it syncs up perfectly with Keanu Reeve’s life.
I made a Schindler’s List mashup with Guns n’ Roses’ November Rain, but was banished to hell for merely having the idea.
Tubthumping is a great song, dammit!
How about I’m Just A Girl by No Doubt with Boys Don’t Cry?
Million Dollar Baby (or Boys Don’t Cry) with “Smack My Bitch Up.”
Holy crap! Just saw on IMDp that Hillary Swank was in a movie called “Iron Jawed Angels.” Now how do you figure she got the part for that one?
Does anyone else think Mambo No. 5 sounds too much like the ending credits to Archer?
Fun Fact: Lou Bega is half German. Speaks the language fluently. Its pretty fucking weird.

Correction, he is German….I will leave now…
I wish most sites had some way of poking me in the eye whenever I scrolled through comments.
That said, come for the dick jokes, stay for the additional dick jokes. Or somewhat pervasively-googled facts, theories, sometimes shared corgis, (!) sarcasm. Whichever.
