Your iTunes is on and you're scrolling through your extensive music collection. Your mind starts to wonder about what could have been if Tenacious D met Mariah Carey. What about Simon & Garfunkel collaborating with the Offspring? Madonna and Salt-n-Pepa? What beautiful symphonies or hideous noises could be born? The Daily Campus asks you to keep an open mind and take a minute to think about these mind-blowing musical mergers.



Marky Mark and

Snoop Dogg

What would happen if the streets of Boston and Long Beach collided into a raptastic orgy of sound? Combine the bad boy beats of teen sensation Mark Wahlberg with Snoop's distinct flow.

Imagine the Calvin Klein underwear ads that could have potentially grown out of this partnership. Girls would be swooning from coast to coast.

The quality of the consequent raps is questionable, but open for personal interpretation.



Miley Cyrus and

Marilyn Manson

This is a Disney nightmare.

The collaboration would be insane: the rocking metallic jams of Marilyn Manson and sugar-coated Hannah Montana singles.

How would one even begin to combine the teen angst of "See You Again" with the deep, darkly satanic vibe of "The Beautiful People"?

Soon, Hannah Montana's wig would morph from blonde to black and her cute rainbow attire might find itself laced with a hint of Dita Von Teese.

"If Miley and Manson got together, 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old girls would be running around in chains," said Elizabeth Thompson, a 3rd-semester exploratory major.

I think we can all agree that this collaboration, while admittedly intriguing, probably wouldn't be landing any Grammy nominations.



Led Zeppelin and the Beatles

Zeppelin and the Beatles? Is it even legal to suggest such a collaboration?

If any album in the world could physically blow your mind, this might be it. "I've always thought about composing the two songs together: 'D'yer Maker' and 'Happiness is a Warm Gun,' seeing as how they have the same chord progressions," said Tyler Leslie, a 5th-semester fine arts major. "It's like the superforce of music. If Joseph and Mary had had a second child, it would have been this collaboration.

While this collaboration may arguably be the best combination of music of all time, it's probably too much for the music world to handle.



The Beach Boys and Blink-182

Could a more upbeat combination of artists exist?

A splash of California sunshine mixed with a few dirty jokes, topped off with the insane drumming skills of Travis Barker. Both bands inspire such good vibrations, this collaboration might cause an endorphin overflow.

What would the album be called? "Take Off Your Pants in Your Little Deuce Coupe"? "The Rock Show, live from Kokomo"? "Enema of the Pet Sounds"?

While the two styles are exceedingly different, the upbeat quality of both bands could make for an interesting combination.
