Why do I keep coming back to the alternative rock band Guster's 1999 hit "Fa Fa (Never Be the Same Again)" for mashup inspiration? It's become something of a running gag at this point, much like my mashup hero Neil Cicierega's use of Smash Mouth's "All Star" (also from 1999, weirdly enough).

Anyway, this piece combines "Fa Fa" with Naoyuki Sato's "Puzzle Panic" from the Wii video game "Elebits". For some reason, "Puzzle Panic" made its way into a few YouTube viral meme videos circa 2010. Possibly due to its irresistible beats and unconventional chord changes.

Another Fa Fa Mashup (Guster vs. Elebits)

I'm an amateur composer, arranger, and music producer from the USA. I specialize in mashups and retro video game soundtracks.

If you can't wait for Neil Cicierega's next "Mouth" album, give my mashups a try and hopefully you'll like them almost as much as you like his.
