To round off one of the most popular memes of 2018 – this mashup could be one of the greatest, if not ambitious crossovers in history.

Bill McClintock, a famed YouTube musician has taken it upon himself to craft the perfect pop-metal combo. The YouTuber has mashed-up David Bowie’s ‘Fame’ with Pantera’s ‘5 Minutes Alone’, culminating in an eclectic yet aggressive audible feast.

The mashup uses the jaunty, left of field funked-out instrumental of Bowie’s 1975 smash underneath Phil Anselmo’s signature growl. It’s groove-laden, fun and overall, straight up entertaining – check it out for yourself.

McClintock’s other mashups include the marrying of Godsmack and Spandeau Ballet, Danzig and The Temptations, and Slayer and The Bangles.

The Flaming Lips recently took it upon themselves to make David Bowie their own, covering his Christmas medley ‘Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy’, releasing the track with an accompanying psychedelic video.
