Listen to two Brian Wilson and Andrew WK mash-ups

by Tyler Munro

What happens when you take Andrew W.K.s party anthems and add in layers of multi-tracked Brian Wilson harmonies?

This does.

These two songs, mashed-up by YouTube’r juanvaldez45 and released under the Brian WK moniker, are two short but sweet concoctions that blend a fun loving party animal with a once drug addled musical genius. You figure out which is which.

“Dance, Dance, Hard,” a mix of the Beach Boys “Dance, Dance, Dance” and Andrew W.K.’s “Party Hard,” is a party anthem exponentiated, while “Lie Awake and Prey,” which blends the Beach Boys’ “In My Room” and Andrew W.K.s “Never Let Down,” is a surprisingly sombre take on two typically boisterous sounds.

Listen to them both below. Your move, Wu-Gazi
