    Once again......I should have been high while listening 2 this. It surpassed my expectations by about a million miles. One of my favorite ballads. One of my favorite rock songs. Never would have thunk it. Curiousity is something else......

    Heh.
    In an alternate 1985, "Careless Rebel" by George Michael is topping the charts.
    Billy would go on to sing "Don't You Forget About Me" instead of Simple Minds lol

    I upped the playback speed to 1.25, and it still sounds great. This mashup is and was phenomenal. My entire playlist is nothing but mashups. They rule.
