A parody that went a little too far...
[ame=https://youtu.be/c9mT-ibaAQo]Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Ghost Riders in the Sky (Uncensored Version) (1949)[/ame]
...the last verses had to be trimmed in most releases because Vaughn Monroe, the singer of the original version of the song was also a major shareholder in RCA (The company that put out the album.) and he didn't like them one bit...

For Graham2001 above.
I know of Spike Jones and his City Slickers. Pre and during WWII? Of his time and had a one hit wonder(in the UK!), very fast jazz, lots of effects?
I thought RCA was Radio Corporation of America, I see it is Company. Also thought the Victor label was added after WWII?
Sort of band the Marx Brothers would put together, but not for very long!

The caterpillar...
...that became a butterfly...
Before anyone asks, Jeff Wayne wrote the tune, there is an intermediate step, but it's not on YouTube.

One coworker asked me about the hardest stuff in heavy metal. I showed him this.
Funnily, despite the very loud opposition of the few lonely defenders of true serious metal they really quickly also managed to become one of the most popular bands in metal.
Actually no surprise since they fulfill all qualifications of a female fronted metal band. Including having a top-league vocalist. And they clearly have a metal attitude in what they do. And its normal in metal if you can't understand the lyrics. And they also appeared on the crucial metal festivals.
It is just really alien, because the band comes from unchartered waters for the typical western person. Maybe the context makes more sense for somebody from Japan. The typical reaction here, when first hearing them, is usually complete disorientation.
One question though might be, how well the phenomena ages: As I understand japanese pop culture, the members of a band are much easier to replace than metal culture likes (just remember Nightwish or Iron Maiden!), living even a bit like Lemmy is unheardof and the age limits are stricter than in modelling. But there are many exceptions to the rule, would be sad to see the voice of their lead vocalist retire already at an age when others barely started in metal.

With the recent memorials at Auschwitz, if anyone hasn't seen this production its worth watching.

Nearly twenty year old, but well done. Bit wordy.
