01.11.10 THE BEYONCE-ANDY GRIFFITH MASH-UP

At long last, here’s a video procured from the InterWebs that isn’t about NBC’s tribulations of late: a mash-up of Beyoncé’s earworm-inducing “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and the infectious whistling of the theme to “The Andy Griffith Show” (see below). I think it was engineered by scientists to be a Frankentein of songs that get stuck in your head for days on end.

Despite that, I recommend giving it a watch and a listen; it really is pretty decent. I think I’m going to automatically whistle the “Andy Griffith” theme every time I hear the original “Single Ladies” from now on — kinda like how Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” no longer sounds complete to me if it doesn’t have the guitar riff from “Helter Skelter” because of Danger Mouse’s Grey Album. (By the way, the only words my parents recognized in that previous sentence were “Andy Griffith” and “Helter Skelter.”)
