Did the Beatles make a mash-up song?

Answer 1

The Beatles themselves never made a MASH-up song in there recording days, in the strict definition as we know it - mixing two existing songs together to make a new song. However, you could say that a few of their compositions were "pseudo-mashups", where two unfinished song fragments that were written separately were used to create an original Beatles composition. Two examples are "A Day In The Life" and "Happiness Is A Warm Gun".

There are some mash-ups using Beatles songs, such as "the Grey album" mash-ups, using Beatles music from their White album mixed with accapella vocals from Jay-Z's Black album. These are strictly underground and not approved by The Beatles. The only official Beatles mash-ups are from the music used in the "Love" theatrical production, where multiple Beatles songs are often mashed up to each other to create remixes of existing songs. For example the opening song, "Get Back", uses the "Hard Days Night" guitar intro, the drum solo from "The End" and the orchestral buildup from "A Day In The Life".
