I was going to label this ‘Mashups: The Final Frontier’ and see who would notice (wrong series :-P) but spin your glitterball Death Star, here’s the last mashups from me, and they’re all Star Wars related. Which might seem like a cash-in for a certain new movie, but I started these well before Lucas was a twinkle in Disney’s eye.
Imperial Nanny was started in 2005 as part of the ill-fated Boot In 60 Seconds project, but never really worked, was a bit of a car-crash. It was semi-released as part of that mix, and other places, but this is the final version.
It combines Spoonful of Sugar from the Disney movie Mary Poppins (topical!) with John Williams Imperial March theme, as Orbital and 2 Bad Mice as the droids you aren’t looking for!

I’ve always had a bad feeling about this, it’s been a real disturbance in the Force over the years and probably still is a bucket of bolts, due to strange minor bits in the Meco track. In the end I had to use the Melodyne trial to force the acapella into key…Use the Force Luke! Well we know mashups shouldn’t be forced, but I’ve always wanted to release this, so treat it as a bit of fun. Still will make the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs!

Thanks to Jez Biggs, Ian Lloyd and Lee Prince for help making this mashup.
So that’s it…I would love to say doing these has rekindled my love of mashups…but no, although fun to see these finally see the light of day, it’s also reminded me what a faff it is.
So that’s me out – bye! Thanks all for listening over the years.
