trackjacking

The unauthorized replacing of the original soundtrack of an audiovisual recording, such as a movie or television show, with one designed to substantially alter the original plot and/or characters.

The term "trackjacking" is derived from a conjunction of the phrase “soundtrack hijacking,” and is intended to convey the idea of unauthorized usurpation.

A trackjack is easily distinguishable from a mashup. A mashup combines two preexisting works in a creative way to make a new product through selection and arrangment. A trackjacker adds their own new content to a preexisting work while leaving the preexisting work substantially unaltered.
My friends and I got together last weekend to do some trackjacking. We recorded new dialogue to "My Little Pony: Princess Promenade." You should rent the movie, then watch it on mute while listening to our trackjack on your iPod.

Examples of trackjacking include:

Brad Neely's "Wizard People, Dear Reader"
My Way Entertainment's "The Juggernaut Bitch!!"
Fensler Films' "G.I. Joe PSAs"

Commenter: All these pop like songs are gay
Commenter 2: What's gay about them? How can a song be gay?
Commenter: Oh sorry, I meant gay as in the connotation definition doesn't sound good to me in my opinion.

Commenter 2: Oh, all good. Yah, I don't really like this song too much either. I'd just clarify more with gay as it's used more positively nowadays.

Commenter: I got you and no offense. Didn't mean it that way.

Commenter 2: All good mate. You like rock?

Commenter: Yah, some old-based rock tho.

Commenter 2: Dude, you should try ACDC or Highway to Hell

Commenter: Bro! I love that song thx!

Commenter 3: {scripture}

Commenter 4: Please, don't use scripture like that. We respect your beliefs but this isn't the place. Please respect ours.

Commenter 3: I'm sorry, I just believe { } but I'll try other places. What would be good ways of sharing?
Commenter 4: I'd prob. be more open if you related your belief in a way and then asked if I were more open. Just posting scripture turns me off a bit and makes me feel judged personally though.

Commenter 3: Ah, I understand. I know when someone did { } before it also turned me off. ...... contin.

Commenter 4: Gotcha, I might look into it but currently I'm happy and solidified in my own beliefs.

Commenter 3: Gotcha, no harm intended.

Commenter 4: All good.
