One Direction / Fountains of Wayne - What Makes You Beautiful / Stacy's Mom (Rock Remix) by MRJ

http://www.facebook.com/michaelrjohnsonstudios http://twitter.com/mrjguitar http://www.mrjstudios.us When I first heard "What Makes You Beautiful" on the radio, I could have sworn that I had heard it before.... well, as it turns out, I pretty much did! The song bears a striking resemblance in many, many ways to "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne, which was released in 2003. For this remix/cover, I simply sped up Stacy's Mom slightly so the tempos matched, but I didn't even have to alter the key or pitch-shift either song at all.... they were already perfectly aligned.... So I thought it would be a fun concept-cover to do a mashup and add some heavier guitar to both tracks, since they already fit so perfectly well together. Hope you enjoy it!
