Here’s a mashup worth listening to: The Ciccones’ “Lies” (6.5Mb .mp3). While most of the all-Madonna mashup album is fairly hit-and-miss, this is by far the standout track. Over the music for “Live to Tell”, audio quotes from the justifications for the Iraq war are juxtaposed with the song’s original chorus:

> A man can tell a thousand lies,
> I’ve learned my lesson well,
> Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned,
> ‘till then, it will burn inside of me.

Cute and clever.

iTunes “Lies” by Ciccones, The from the album Immaculate Concoction, The (2005, 5:45).
