Sir Mashalot, aka Gregory Todd, took six big hits from six big names and made them into one big hit. Using Luke Bryan’s “Drunk on You”, Blake Shelton’s “Sure Be Cool if You Did”, Florida-Georgia Line’s “This Is How We Roll”, Cole Swindell’s “Chillin’ It”, Parmalee’s “Close Your Eyes” and Chase Rice’s “Ready Set Roll”, Todd created one of the best country mashup songs we have ever heard.
It’s kind of crazy too, because you can tell he really doesn’t do much to the songs save for playing with tempo and key.
Per Todd’s YouTube video, which has garnered over 4 million views since he posted it in November:
I just want to be clear that this Mashup is all in good fun. I am not attempting to bash these songs, the artists, or country music in general. I understand and even appreciate why the “formula” continues to dominate the airwaves- not only in country music, but in pop, rock, and other genres as well. I simply enjoy mixing and producing on Pro Tools, and when I heard the striking similarities of these particular hits, I thought it would be fun to throw them all in a mix and see what I could come up with. And it looks like people are having fun with it too, so I couldn’t be happier!
