The radio was playing Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams last week. While I really like it, it is impossible for me not to remember the great Party Ben mashup Boulevard of Broken Songs, which my boyfriend (then good friend), Mamdoj, showed it to me back in 2006. So besides being a great song, it always makes me smile when I listen to it.
There are two versions, the first one with Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Oasis' Wonderwall, Travis' Writing to Reach You and Eminem's Sing (For the Moment) and the second one with Aerosmith's Dream On instead of Eminem. Party Ben actually wanted Aerosmith in the first place, but he didn't have any Aerosmith CD in the studio, so he used the Eminem version instead.
My favorite version features Aerosmith but I couldn't find it on YouTube. So here it is the Eminem version (they are pretty similar, I am almost sure only the last 30 seconds change):
I already loved these four bands, and the way Party Ben mixed them together made the songs even greater (I love how he uses Travis lyrics "what's a wonderwall anyway?" followed by Wonderwall by Oasis).
If you want to listen to the Aerosmith version, you can click here.
You can also download these mashups and many other great ones on Party Ben's website.
Hope you enjoy,
Ma.
