For a successful underground-music act, Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) doesn't write too much music. In fact, he doesn't write any. He leaves that job up to his favorite pop stars, rappers, rockers or pretty much anyone with a hot beat. You see, Pittsburgh-native Gillis is a disc jockey in the most advanced sense of the word - and he's the best at what he does. Girl Talk is a much-buzzed-about master of the mashup, meaning he takes elements of different songs (a guitar line, a beat, a vocal part) and threads them together with others - literally, hundreds of others - to make a new song entirely.
