Zac Vega Mashups' version: • Pumped Up Kicks x Doll... Songs used: Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks (acapella) Melanie Martinez - Dollhouse (instrumental & audio) Subscribe for more mashups!
These two songs touch on sad family dynamics, the boy having to eat cold microwave dinners from a constant lack of his father while the girl's crumbling family puts on a facade of perfection for outsiders. If this mashup had a storyline, the girl is one of the kids with the "pumped up kicks" that the boy resents as another high status victim for his massacre. In reality, her home life is not so pretty either.
I have a little theory about this mashup. Okay, so we all know that 'pumped up kicks' is about a boy names Robert who goes insane and starts a shoot in his school. So, he's singing this about himself, but in my theory, Melanie is one of the few kids who survived the shooting, therefore it comes to them both singing: FTP: All the other kids with the pumped up kicks M: Places, places, get in your places FTP: You better run, better run, outrun my gun M: Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces FTP: All the other kids with the pumped up kicks M: Everyone thinks that we're perfect FTP: You better run, better run, faster than my bullet M: Please don't let them look through the curtains. FTP: All the other kids with the pumped up kicks M: Picture, Picture, smile for the picture FTP: You better run, better run, outrun my gun M: Pose with your brother won't you be a good a good sister FTP: All the other kids with the pumped up kicks M: Everyone thinks that we're perfect FTP: You better run, better run, faster than my bullet And then Melanie sings: D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E I see things that nobody else sees (referring to the shooting)
If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not fucking dying. Edit: HEY. 1K LIKES? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU ALL.. BUT HEY, WHILE IVE GOT THIS PUBLICITY, SUB TO ME (I COVERED DOLLHOUSE LMAO)
@@dannydevito8310The mashup looks good since the dollhouse song mentions that in the violent family there is a smoking brother, that fits easily into pumped up kicks
Crybaby's older brother Rob looks like he should have the perfect life and job But little do his sister and parents know what's in store, he plans to leave the kids with pumped up kicks dead on the floor.
Chukwa Actually, no. The character in the song is named Robert. While the song may be loosely based on the school shooter archetype, the Columbine gunmen were named Eric Harris and Dylan Kleibold, neither of which are mentioned.
I swear Melanie Martinez with any song sounds so perfect and amazing, I've been listening to a bunch of mash ups with Melanie Martinez and other songs and none of them dissapointed 👌🏼💖😫
it sounds like Melanie at the school, warning about the coming attack, she kept on repeating "I see things that no body else sees", not to mention she's quiet on most of the song cause it sounds like she's hiding..... not to mention everyone else sounds like they are running while Melanie is Hiding with one of her friends in a locker
This sent chills down my spine... These are two of my favourite songs! I've waited for a mashup of pumped up kicks for so long... I'm so glad you have made one!! Omg
I hope in the future other music artists do these type of mashups together. Kinda like Collabs, I feel like it'd be a good way for different artists to help each other out and some people may like that type of music.
holy fuck this gives so much more meaning to pumped up kicks , like the shooter kid's family not caring about them/being abusive yet everyone still thinking the family's perfect , nobody paying attention while they get bullied and while they plan their revenge , this is such good choice in songs ???? like . i love this . i love you . thank you .
This mash up is so great 😊! I love the creepiness in Melanie's voice but the calming kind of childish side of pumped up kicks but either way this mash up is amazing 🙂!
You don't know how much I love this I watch this everyday and it the best mashup ever you know usually don't enjoy mashups but this is amazing very good job I love both of these songs and when I saw a mashup of both of these its the fastest I've clicked on a video 10/10 best mashup ever!
