George Michael vs Slayer
Not usually do I post mashups here, only the best will do. And this George Michael ‘Careless Whisper’ vs Slayer’s ‘Seasons in the Abyss’ is very nicely done by Bill McClintock. I would say this is how to annoy Slayer fans, but they’ll probably love it, knowing them! (via Boing Boing) EDIT: Already pulled from…
