We’ve posted clips of forró — a style of dance music from Brazil — before, but never quite like this. Our pal Squeezyboy turned us on to an entire cottage industry of mashups that combine forró with modern pop songs. While you think everything might sound better with some accordion, they aren’t all winners; but we definitely share his love for this forró remix of the Gnarls Barkley hit “Crazy.” I’m not sure who’s behind this accordion mashup madness, but I dig it.
Gnarls Barkley, Forro Style

I couldn’t get the embedded video (?) to play, but http://www.mp3tube.net/br/musics/GNARLS-BARKLEY-CRAZY-FORRO/173481/ seems to offer up much the same as what you describe.

Yup, Rowan. That’s the same track.
