Today I woke up with Ella Fitzgerald’s Hooray for Love in my head. Specifically, these lines:
It’s the wonder of the world, It’s a rocket to the moon
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow…
So after my morning coffee, I went to iTunes and typed in “Hooray.” The song I wanted (from The Best of the Songbooks) came up, as did a 21-second Funkmaster Flex clip, Hip Hop Hooray (sampling Naughty by Nature1) from The Mix Tape Volume II: 60 Minutes Of Funk.
Played back-to-back, I then wished I had the ability to mix them. I will provide both tracks here in hopes I might inspire some random individual to make this happen:
Ella Fitzgerald: Hooray for Love (mp3/album)
Funkmaster Flex: Hip Hop Hooray (album)

1The original Naughty by Nature song from which Funkmaster Flex’s track was itself derived is available here.
