I figured I should stop spamming the ME3 news thread with this, so: new topic, because I'm not done beating this dead horse yet OH NO.

The concept is simple: take the ME3 trailer, slap a new soundtrack on it, post it on the internet, INSTANT FAME. Whether serious or hilariously out of place - the trailer goes with absolutely anything you care to imagine.

Here are my original attempts:

Blue Öyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper - This shouldn't need an explanation.
Marily Manson - This Is the New Shit Shep - I will never let them live this down.

But the fun doesn't stop there! Other people have their own ideas, and some of them are pretty neat.

The B-52's - Rock Lobster - "Mass Effect needs more cowbell!"
Erasure - Always - "A nice counterpoint to all the death and destruction going on."
REM - Shiny Happy People - Because well, why not?
Blind Guardian - Sacred Worlds 1 2
Pokemon theme song - Grunt, I choose you!
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Teaser works ridiculously well, although the opposite doesn't work quite as nicely.
Blue Öyster Cult - Veteran of the Psychic Wars - This also syncs up pretty nicely


Make your own!

There are two easy ways to do this. Tubedubber lets you pick two youtube videos, shows the video from the first one and plays the audio from the second. Youtubedoubler plays two videos side by side, but has an easy box where you can control where the videos start - useful to skip long intros and such, or to match the music more closely with the video.

In either case, the ME3 trailer can be found here (and in many other places, certainly). The possibilities are endless.
