"It's a pretty eclectic mix, with several different genres and time periods represented.

"There were no instruments involved at all."The album's exclusive mash-ups include the film's The Barden Bellas combining Ace of Base's "The Sign" and La Roux's "Bulletproof," as well as Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are ( Amazing)" and Nelly's "Just a Dream."
