In Audio Mashup Construction Kit, written by mashup artist Jordan Roseman, also known as DJ Earworm, the author offers a brief history of mashups. Roseman cites Dickie Goodman and Bill Buchanan's novelty records asearly predecessors of today's mashups. Called break-in records, theses were made by splicing snippets of popular music and adding in their own comedic dialogue. A popular example was 1956's “Flying Saucer”.
