Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travelled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
I'm gonna fight 'em all
A Seven Nation Army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes says
Hold your head up, moving on
Keep your head up, moving on
Hold your head up, moving on
Keep your head up
Sweet dreams are made of this

I think I like it better than the source material, which is saying something.
Gotta give them a "7," (6 for the mashup, +1 for naming themselves after a grapefruit.) I would have upped it another 1 if they had dressed as said fruit for their stage performance.
cool
Doesn't do it for me. Better covers available. No driving bass, or any bass at all.

This just makes me want to hear the originals.

Defintely prefer to hear both the originals back-to-back rather than this.
Thank you Pomplamoose, Radio Paradise, and The Internet for this.
I can safely say I never would have heard this otherwise.

I saw Nataly Dawn a few years ago in a concert in Birmingham (UK) and she was really good. I quite like Pomplamoose.
Well I like both tracks this has mashed up - but not sure about the mixture 
Don't mind it all, nice and upbeat
I wonder what all the hate for this song is: solid 7 from me
Nice to hear some Pomplamoose
No matter what you might think of this cover. Jack Conte from this band and Ryan Lerman (Scary Pockets, John Legend, Ben Folds Five) have an excellent YouTube channel called "Dead Wax" which is basically musicians nerding out about music. Definitely worth a watch if you are a music fan at all.
"They are known for their...covers of popular songs." I think this mashup is really good! Seamless transitions, well-carried themes, excellent harmonization, and quite noticeably faithful to the originals. Hard to beat if you're into that sort of thing. I didn't know that I was (into that sort of thing), and once again RP gets all the kudos for expanding my musical awareness and appreciation. 8 just 'cause I really want to hear it again!
Doesn't add much originality other than a mash up.
5 rating to start. My rating being the 8th.

I thought it was pretty creative
