Brilliant postmodern themed pop music mashup – pays an unforgettable tribute to the most popular songs of 2013, including Miley Cyrus and Ylvis as though they were released in the ’40s.

We stumbled across Postmodern Jukebox, a YouTube sensation created by Scott Bradlee who create old-school twists on modern pop music, just the other day and we are so glad we did.

This latest mashup, turns back time to the 1940’s, mixing up modern 2013 pop music with healthy doses of doo-wop-doo-wops.

Old-school broadcasting microphones, clothing and a jazzy band take centre stage as the mashup cycles right from “Ragtime Blurred Lines” to “Motown Roar”, while including “Jazz The Fox” along the way.

Incredibly, the entire video, which includes a big cast and big sound, was done in one take. Looking back at some of their previous videos, Postmodern Jukebox never fails to wow people with their clever and creative re-imagined covers, but we think this mashup is an absolute gem.

It’s that time of year again…January, which can make even the most fun-loving of us feel a bit lustreless.
