"Girl Talk" is the stage name of Gregg Gillis, a Pittsburgh musician who creates mashups of pop songs. The 2010 Girl Talk album, "All Day", samples several hundred songs, and Wikipedia users have
identified and cataloged most of them. Using that data, I created the player below so you can see what samples are playing as you listen to the album. If you like this, check out my site for the previous album,
Feed The Animals.
This site is possible because Girl Talk released the album under a Creative Commons license, which allows fans to share and remix it.

Thanks to everyone who has pointed out missing sample IDs. I've added a bunch, and I also applied all of the recent updates from the Wikipedia page. Many of the missing IDs were because the Wikipedia page has sample start times but not end times, so I manually tried to find end times for each sample and I missed some.

Because of the overwhelming number of data corrections I've received, I decided to try something different: I created a new site where anyone can add or correct the samples (it's a wiki!). And rather than just playing the audio, it syncs the sample readout with some of the awesome videos people have posted to YouTube for the All Day tracks. I'm calling the site "toob". Please try it out and let me know what you think! Here's a link to All Day on the new site: http://readyrickshaw.com/toob/node/63.
