Some songs are so good in their original form; they shouldn’t be covered, remixed or done in any other way. However, one man recently found a way to take two iconic songs in that category, and create a mashup that has the internet jamming out.

Youtuber ‘The-Art-of-Guitar’ recently went viral after sharing his mashup of Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ and Van Halen’s ‘Panama.’

Mike G has gained a following on his ‘The-Art-of-Guitar’ YouTube page thanks to his guitar instruction videos. However, his latest video to go viral isn’t about teaching. Instead he wanted to show off his recent creation; ‘Enter Panaman.’ “Was rocking out to Panama, and this idea just popped into my head so I had to make it real. haha. Can't believe how well they work together in most sections,” said Mike G.

The song features James Hetfield singing the Metallica lyrics over the Van Halen music, according to Loudwire. Since being shared, the mashup video has been viewed over 130,000 times. Now fans no longer have to choose which song they like better.
