A bit of geekish background:
As part of his work, Allan has written a program to combine sound files, not only flush, but at varying intervals, kind of like when you sing "Row Your Boat" and the next person chimes in as you're halfway through, etc...
We had fun reading parts of my old blog entries out loud, recording them, and then mixing the ensuing sound files. When we mixed 6 different voice clips (3 of his, 3 of mine), the resulting cacophony didn't sound as bad as expected-- it actually sounded like you would expect a small room full of people to sound, each conversing with another.
Then I hit on an idea: what would it sound like to mix singing? Even more cacophonous than talking, I speculated. So he put together 2 voice clips of the same song, recorded separately. The amazing thing? Despite the fact that both were recorded independently of one another, the timing just happened to work out perfectly. Enjoy the results:

In case, for whatever reason, the mp3 won't play for you, here's the original WAV file (1.2MB):

Can you identify the two singers?
