1. Girl Talk is the stage name of Gregg Gillis (born October 26, 1981). Gillis, who is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has released five CD albums on Illegal Art and vinyl releases on 333 and 12 Apostles. He began making music while a student at Case Western Reserve University. He specializes in sample-based remixes, in which he uses at least a dozen elements from different songs to create a new song. At his early shows, Gillis became notorious for his exhibitionist antics on stage, spontaneously removing most or all of his clothing mid-performance. He has given different explanations for the origin of his stage name, once saying it alluded to a Jim Morrison poem and once saying it alluded to an early Merzbow side project. He has also stated that "Girl Talk" is simply the opposite of what one would think when picturing a man playing music with a laptop.
Girl Talk was featured in Good Copy Bad Copy and Rip! A Remix Manifesto; both documentary films about copyright/fair use.
2. Girl Talk is the name of a British 80's eurodisco duo consisting of sisters Karen & Julie Wright.

It's them Quad City D.J.'s and you,
We call it "the train"
So if you wanna ride your thing
Just come on down the train
We gonna rock, ooh, Lord, just jump aboard, baby
So get your next of kin, your sister and your friend
Pack it up now, choo choo, ride on this, choo choo
I wanna take you home with me, to be alone with me
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo

We started out friends

Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You're dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say

The lyrics of this song are actually a mashup of different songs, blending different genres and eras seamlessly. The first part of the song features a sample from the song "C'mon N' Ride It (The Train)" by Quad City DJ's, and it's a party track encouraging the listeners to come aboard the train and have some fun. The second part of the song moves to the chorus of the hit song "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson. The lyrics describe a person who was once friends with someone but now they're happy to have moved on. The third part features segments from several Atlanta-based rappers, including Shawty Lo and T.I., that rap about their street cred and wealth. The final part is a parody of the song "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield.

These are incredible! Thanks for committing so much time to this project, and I hope to see the whole album. Maybe you could work something out with Illegal Art to sell a DVD or full album download... I'd buy it for sure.
