When I ran across the mashup video below, which takes Britney Spears’ Everytime and ingeniously fuses it with the main Twin Peaks Theme, it got me thinking – there must be TONS of clever mashups with Twin Peaks material like this. If ever there was a body of work ripe for mashing up, Twin Peaks would be it. As it turns out though, there are strangely very few variations out there, and most of them are based on the main soundtrack theme. Below I’ve done my best to round up the ones worth listening to or watching. They’re broken down into standard song mashups, dance remixes, and a few video mashups. Enjoy.

Like Agent Cooper says: “Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen.”

Summertime Peaks (Lana Del Rey vs. Laura Palmer’s Theme)

Mashing Lana Del Rey’s Summertime Sadness with Laura Palmer’s Theme  is a natural fit here; in fact, the synth pads are so similar that the real cleverness of this mashup was all in the drum editing.

Twin Hearts (Kylie Minogue vs Twin Peaks Theme)

Two Hearts by Kylie Minogue is another natural; it’s a little more modal/atonal than the Britney Spears and Lana Del Rey mixes though.

Twin Tissue (Red Hot Chili Peppers vs. Angelo Badalamenti)

I have to admit that mashing Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is the last thing in the universe that would have occurred to me. This is actually pretty good vocal isolation/remixing.

REMIXES

Kayo – Twin Peaks Dubstep (remix)

This one is assembled with HD video, and a lot of dialog samples. “The Man from Another Place” steps in and things get crazy and dubsteppy around two minutes

Basic Dance Remixes

These two are pretty straight-up house-derived dance mixes rife with the familiar “Unts unts unts” beat and “808 snare buildup abuse”. They’d be great for hair show runway music or something though

Agent Vyper – Twin Peaks Theme (Club Vocal Mix)

Dj Dado – Twin Peaks Theme

VIDEO MASHUPS

Fire Walk With Me With Careful What You Wish For

This one is more of a video mashup; it relies on creepy video edits set to Coil’s “Careful What You Wish For” from their album Backwards.

Cup of Joe (Twin Peaks Remix)

Lots of video clips as dialog samples laid over lots of looping delay. All I can say is “Fellas, don’t drink that coffee”.

Drake – Always Music In The Air

This one has Drake dancing in Agent Cooper’s dream, by taking clips from the video for Hotline Bling. It would be brilliant, if the Drake were better synced to the beats.

GOLDEN PEAKS – Stay Golden Mashup#4

This one is from a series of clips for different shows, which all mix Cynthia Fee’s rendition of Andrew Gold’s song Thank You For Being A Friend from the show intro for Golden Girls with the visuals from the selected show. In the case of Twin Peaks, it actually kind of works!
