Great harmonies and bass right from the start. I immediately need more from this band. Will have to explore this week.

I love Pomplamoose, listen to them almost every week!

[@TheThamesmen]

A recent find for us but definitely gonna be something we keep an eye on regularly. They are brilliant

[@paulastutina]

@@TheThamesmen That would be much apreciated!

[@brianparsa7794]

Very strong entry, that was really good! For this river rat, at this point my scoreboard reads Pomplamoose's White Stripes/Eurythmics mashup second, Black Sabbath/Doors mashup first. Looking forward to the rest!

[@TheThamesmen]

Good choices and remember that when it comes to voting on Saturday!

[@RuthlessBiscuit3]

Good morning! This is kick ass! Pomplamoose is French for grapefuit. 😉🤘

[@TheThamesmen]

Well we knew it sounded French!

[@rogerlie4176]

Pomplamoose is the married couple Natalie Dawn(the blonde) and Jack Conte(bearded keyboard guy, also cofounder and CEO of Patreon). They don't only do mashups but play some straight up covers and original music as well. They also do a lot of chanson style songs. Natalie is bilingual and she sounds divine when singing in French. Here is a link to an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYWzY2dsm9N-d6s

sweet army dreams? seven sweet nations? doesn't matter. brillant. thx!

[@TheThamesmen]

Glad you enjoyed. We certainly did!

[@christhecurator]

Yeah, Pomplamoose always for me. They're genuinely great and have been around for awhile now! But I'd still take the originals. More please!

[@TheThamesmen]

Be careful what you wish for! We made some bad decisions towards the end of this week!

[@darkether1170]

In case you want a palate cleanser after the smash-ups, maybe a quick, energetic "Black Betty" by Ram Jam?

[@TheThamesmen]

Really frustrating in that we did a reaction to that track and then somehow we lost our recording. It is absolutely a banger though

[@hermenw.huiskamp8555]

Oh dear... now I have to find out more about this band! 🙃 Pomplamoose... mmm sounds like pamplemousse a grapefruit like citrus thingy. Sidetrack: in time check out 'Walk off the Earth' (WotE) - these Canadians do some awesome covers in a very creative manner

[@TheThamesmen]

Definitely worth exploring their channel. Have some brilliant versions

[@BrianR.]

Pamplemousse is the French word for grapefruit. They misspelled it, likely on purpose. I liked this one also, but preferred the Black Doors.

[@zenlor-c88]

Brilliant

[@TheThamesmen]

It really is and we are so glad we found them

[@zenlor-c88]

@@TheThamesmen Thanks for putting this 1 up, really enjoyed it.

[@rickfairman5640]

This was a lot better for me than the doors sabbath. I think the way it was done sounded like a new song. I enjoyed it more than the original had its own feel that enhanced the song without taking away from either original.

[@TheThamesmen]

Just remember that when it comes to voting on Saturday!

[@rickfairman5640]

I think because they were doing it live it allowed them to better mash the music and vocals from both songs rather than taking putting the vocals from the doors an layering it on top of sabbaths instruments.

[@TheThamesmen]

Just great musicianship that really added to the whole experience

[@jamesstubbs2228]

Well, that's going to take some beating. What also came through was that as well as being great musicians they were having a real fun time doing it. Off to check out some more Pomplamoose. Alex has his work cut out.

[@TheThamesmen]

Good man and don’t forget to vote on Saturday! Definitely check out their channel as they have some amazing versions. Also check out the mini documentary they made about the process as it is fascinating

@@flor9389 Excellent. It always pleases us when we can find something new for someone

[@klaussaalfeld5547]

Great Mash up, i didn't expect the two songs would work together. It's great, but I don't think that this is better than the original versions, especially not "Sweet Dreams" which I grew up with. Hard to say if this is better than Alex' choice yesterday By the way, the name of the band is derived from the French word "pamplemousse" (grapefruit), but also includes the English word "moose".

[@TheThamesmen]

Its not better than Alex's... His was much better (alex here)

[@TheThamesmen]

Yup and that’s how they find their efforts. Very smart people

[@Paul_C]

It is a sad thing when you think about it? The only reason why mashups are possible is the fact that modern-day music is based on 4/4 and use predominantly 3 chords. Individual song are rare, odd meters, time signatures. Blame Stock, Aitken and Waterman....

[@TheThamesmen]

Haha.... Blame Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee and Little Richard!! It harks way further back. The three-chord DGE / CFG 4/4 with the middle 8 blueprints was embossed by these three. All Stock, Aitken and Waterman did were turn the kick up.

[@sarumanork-orphanage5612]

"Pomplemoose" - French desert? Actually not that far off - "Pamplemousse" is the French name for Grapefruit, which does make for an excellent dessert! I mean then you also have the world "Pampelmuse", which is the German word for Grapefruit, so it is similar in multiple languages, but you said French, so I gave you French first! Now- ist that what Poplemoose sees in their name? Could be. I mean I detect a "moose" in there, so in my biased mind, I see a red maple leaf pop up, and I think to myself, this must be Québec French spelling. Idk, that' probably offensive, or it could be absolutely correct. Who knows?

[@TheThamesmen]

Well the name certainly makes you think and look!

Eurythmics are pretty good, but I despise the White Stripes. This however, was excellent.
