Whoops. This was supposed to go out this morning, to let you know I was going to be out most of the day. Sorry.
Oh, well. This mashup of Brit bands from different eras is still cool.

I guess I’m going to have YouTube the chocolate part. I know the 80s song, but am not familiar with the other part.
I feel decidedly old; not even YouTube helps me. Don’t recognize the non echo & the bunnyman song even after it has been identified.
Think I will go yell at some kids to get off my lawn.
Cheers
Andrew
Meh. That is all I have, sorry.
I liked it, but i am a brit, so both bands are very familiar to me.
I just clicked your 80′s-looking video without reading. I was expecting some 80′s hits to make my morning coffee to, but I just got more and more puzzled as it ran :)
Nicely done.

Leave it to the DJ to ID the track: Snow Patrol, “Chocolate.” And, man, this is one seamless mashup.
