Song You Need To Know: White Panda, 'Fireflies Goin' Down' (Owl City vs. Yung Joc Mash-Up)

Mash-ups may have run their course as a pop culture phenomenon, but every once in a while one of them comes along and catches your ear, reminding you of the original thrill the first time you heard "Stroke Of Genius" (the legendary Strokes/Christina Aguilera combo).

Here we have a track from the DJ duo The White Panda, made up of Procrast and DJ Griffi, who got the rather inspired idea to throw together the backing track of analog-emo favorites, Owl City's "Fireflies" with the a cappella version of Yung Joc's '06 banger, "It's Goin' Down."

The result is deceptively awesome. Yung Joc calling out, "MEET ME IN THE MALL," over the bubbling keyboards of Owl City's smash hit. You wouldn't expect the two tracks to go together, but then, that's the whole point of mash-ups, right?

Hat tip to the always excellent Pigeons & Planes for pointing this out.
