... Well, more of a Bootlegs CD-R, as I'm making one, and I want
suggestions for what I need for it beyond the obvious ("I Wanna
Dance With Numbers", "A Stroke Of Genius", "George Gets His
Freak On" etc)... but include those too for I may have forgottten
them.

Ooooh ooooh ooooh! The one thing I actually know about:
"Smells Like Booty (Destiny's Child vs Nirvana)"- Still the most
essential one. Dunno why, there's something spectacularly sick in
the idea, and yet it just sounds so great. Pisses off Nirvanatards
as well, which can only be a good thing.
"I Wish I Was A Tiger (Skee-Lo vs Survivor)" First bootleg I ever
heard, must have been about 18 months back now. Soulwax really are
the best game in town at this sort of stuff, great little song.
"This Charming Shady (Eminem vs The Smiths)" New. Great. And you
can try and work out who'd win a fight between Morrissey and Eminem.
"Come On Boiiiiiiiii (Public Enemy vs Dexy's Midnight Runners)" The
only thing of any use Fun-Da-Mental have ever done
"Hold and Hit the Fun Loving Criminal (Beastie Boys vs Fun Loving
Criminals)" Smooth as fuck, kinda like everything great about the
Beasties in one track.
"Dreadlocked Child (Destiny's Child vs 10CC)" Mainly because I'm a
sucker for 10CC, but also because it provokes uncontrollable bouts of
bad whiteboy dancing whenever I hear it.
"Passin' It Up (The Pharcyde vs the Violent Femmes)" Choooon. And
nine-tenths.
"That's What The Men In Black Get (Will Smith vs Nine Inch Nails)" I
may have to start dating a Goth just to play them this little
thing.
"Untitled (Kosheen vs Nas)" Part of Soulwax's mixes
occasionally, "Hide U" vs "Hate Me Now". Really lush, majestic,
nice, etc.
"You're Not Idioteque (Olive vs Radiohead)" Just funny, really. I
really can put a case forward, huh?
"If You Got Soul (Then Why Does It Feel So Good?) (Eric B and Rakim
vs Spiller)" Actually sounds like nothing on earth ever. Quite
possibly not made by humans.
There's many more that I'll remember in the morning. But that'll do
for starters.

"Higher state of bring the noise"-Wink v Public Enemy
The "Low rider" meets "Pretty fly for a white guy" one

I like Oops! The Real Slim Shady Did It Again (Britney vs Eminem),
The Satisfaction Skank (Fatboy vs the Stones), Zombie Music (Madonna
vs Kernkraft 400) and Music Sounds Better With Music (Stardust vs
Madonna), Don't Stop Movin' Billie Jean (S Club 7 vs Michael
Jackson), Missyizm (Get Ur Freak On vs X-Press 2) and Ain't No Love
Around The World (SubSub vs Daft Punk).

Anything by Girls on Top for starters, especially Being Scrubbed (TLC
vs Human League), also search out stuff by the Evolution Control
Committee who pretty much set up the blueprint for modern bootlegs.

Echoing some of the others.
Martin is on the money re:X-Press 2 Vs Missy Muzikizum and Get Ur
Freak On. And Nick is right about Breath Don't Stop, the Q-Tip and
Michael Jackson thing.
Also Depeche Mode vs D12 I just can't get enough purple pills.

I strongly recommend Dsico's "Fateful Pavement" which matches the
vocals from Destiny's Child's "Bills Bills Bills" with the music from
Pavement's "Silent Kid" to great effect. It's a lot of fun. You can
find it here:

A really great new boot came out today on Boom Selection - it's a mix
of Eminem's "Without Me" with Stereolab's "Miss Modular". That's an
essential one, as is the mix of The Stooges' "Lust For Life" and
Beastie Boys "Sure Shot" that popped up there a month or two back.
