...first blush, Pharrell Williams appears to be a monumental idiot. Williams--one half of the prolific producing-songwriting team the Neptunes--hits on nearly every woman he sees, often in a voice loud enough to alert approaching women that he is a serial pickup artist. In restaurants each bite of food is followed by a throwing down of silverware and a declaration that his meal, above all others at the table, is "Bazooka!"

Forget American Idol. Mash-ups, as these musical shotgun marriages are known, are the real road to success for today's harmonically challenged pop wannabes. The expertise required would make Beethoven blush. If you have ever listened to a mash-up and thought, I could do that, you're absolutely right. The necessary equipment: a PC, your CD collection and a pair of ears. No cash required, at least not until you're ready to unleash your motley mix upon an unsuspecting world...
