Well played, Maranci.In the years since the 1994 release of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” it has gone on to become a modern holiday classic, one of the few since the heyday of Christmas songs in the ’30s and ’40s to actually become a bona fide annual “standard.” It has steadily gained in popularity each year, finally reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019, 25 years after its initial release. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but "Harder, Better, Psychosocial" will certainly slide in nicely among the greatest of the unexpected YouTube mashups to date.
Thanks in part to his ability to recreate the legendary vocoded Daft Punk robot voice, Maranci's edit at times trades the "Work it harder, make it better" vocal refrain for Corey Taylor's screams in "Psychosocial." The mashup gets even more bizarre toward the end, when Taylor's vocals are chopped up to reflect the fluctuating robot voices from Daft Punk's classic in extremely similar fashion. Sure, it's absolutely ridiculous in a way, but the mashup somehow works rather well despite the differences in style. Now, YouTuber William Maranci has taken it upon himself to harness Slipknot's seminal "Psychosocial" for a 2021 mashup with none other than one of Daft Punk's greatest hits, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." It's hard to forget about Isosine's viral 2011 "Psychosocial Baby" mashup of Justin Bieber and Slipknot, in which he laced the iconic masked metal band's aggressive vocals over the happy-go-lucky pop beat of Bieber's bubblegum hit "Baby." The video has garnered well over 17 million views in the last decade. Unexpected musical mashups became a staple of the Internet sometime in the early 2010s and have provided many laughs since.
