Long before Dua Lipa and Eminem dropped separate songs named “Houdini” roughly six months apart, Foster the People released their own track of the same name in 2011.

During a recent studio session, the band’s founder and vocalist Mark Foster decided to have some fun and mash all three songs together. In a video posted across social media, Foster broke down how he chopped up parts of each “Houdini” and combined them into a mash-up, which actually came together pretty well. Watch the clip below.

Foster the People’s “Houdini” appeared on their breakout 2011 debut effort, Torches. Lipa then released her own “Houdini” in November 2023 as the lead single from her latest album, Radical Optimism, while Em followed up with his “Houdini” in May of this year to launch his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), out next Friday, July 12th.

Next month, Foster the People will release their new album, Paradise State of Mind, their first since 2017’s Sacred Hearts Club.
