A great candid story of his experience going viral. Could be a little more concise, but still congrats to the guy for stepping up to the plate and crushing it out of the park. So what if it wasn't a technical masterpiece. If he was only intending for this to be a learning experience, I think he should be totally satisfied.

Thanks for sharing. That's awesome! I was dreading hearing that they made you take the vid down. Nice.

The only technical glitch I minded was at 1:10. Psy's on screen just long enough to open his mouth without any words playing. But I'm a musician and this is a nit. But if you re-edit this ever just thought I'd add this.

Very cool! The mashup is really catchy and the author did a great job mixing LMFAO and Psy.

The first mashup I remember listening to was the Eminem/Britney Spears mashup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j98zaF5592c). It was particularly funny because Eminem had recently dissed Britney Spears, but the ironic thing is that this mashup sounded better than the originals of both songs.

The only question I have is how do these mashup-er's isolate the vocals and instrumentals so clearly? Are the vocal and instrumental tracks available for most songs these days, so that fans can create mashups?
