The great mashups just keep on coming. Only a few weeks after the brilliant LMFAO-Billy Joel mashup we didn't know we needed, Twitter user @noah_charlick has created another remix for the ages.

Charlick shared a two-minute clip on Twitter featuring A-ha's iconic instrumental with Lamar's bars on top, and the tracks line up perfectly.


Charlick captioned the mashup video with "i've either made a great discovery or a terrible mistake," but the results speak for themselves. Since sharing the video on Monday (October 15), the clip has been retweeted over 177,000 times, as of press time.

Lamar and A-ha have yet to weigh in on the remix.
