Most of the buzz surrounding both/either Estelle's American Boy and the Ting Ting's Shut Up and Let Me Go is that they are in a state of jockeying for the title of the 2008 song of the summer. There are a couple other hopefuls, but you can't turn a corner/open up a new browser window without seeing either of these acts staring back at you.


So to remedy the gratuitous promotion of each one on a solitary basis, why not mash 'em up? That's exactly what DJ Paul V did. Here's what he has to say:

A few weeks ago, you heard me extolling the virtues of the UK's delicious Ting Tings, and I decided to keep that love train rollin'. But, the other half of this mashup (from DJ STV SLV) is another UK chart-topper who's just starting to get inside the heads of US listeners - Estelle! Her ubiquitous 'American Boy' - featuring Kanye West - is the kind of perfect, breezy summer pop hit you just can't get out of your head. Paired up with the Chic-inspired 'Shut Up & Let Me Go' from the Tings, and you've got some double-whammy good times! (from hot stuff, Popbytes)
