NEW MASHUPS - Lily Allen vs The Lion Sleeps Tonight

I didn’t think that I’d have the next instalment of the “a//b” , so soon after my Kanye vs NIN mashups but as I was driving home from work yesterday I heard Lily Allen’s LDN playing on the radio, and for whatever reason it reminded my of The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

So I threw these 2 together last night, and I am very surprised by how well they mesh with minimal interference from me (mainly tempo changes, the keys were both the same (F Major)).

So have a listen below and let me know in the comments which one you prefer:

  • “In The London, The Mighty London” (Lily Allen singing over The Lion Sleeps Tonight) or;

  • “The LDN Sleeps Tonight” (The Tokens singing over LDN).
