"Easy Heaven" - Best Mashup Ever (The Commodores vs. The Cure)

Some of you might be familiar with the work of Girl Talk who seamlessly combines dozens of tracks into one cohesive song. While I do love his stuff, it goes beyond the pure mashup format - a winning combination of just two tracks.
A mashup is at it's best when the resulting song becomes a new entity unto itself. It goes beyond two disparate songs which blend well together, or just creating funny moments hearing two disparate styles/genres/decades/etc. combined.
The best mashups transcend the work of the originals and form a new wholly realized song.
The finest example I've heard to date is "Easy Heaven" by BRAT productions. It takes the instrumental of The Commodores "Easy (Like a Sunday Morning)" and replaces the lyrics with The Cure's "Just Like Heaven." It's perfection.
Slow down.
Sit back.
Have a listen and enjoy:

And finally, yes - I did create that image of Robert Smith as a member of The Commodores. Not bad eh?
