I still love it!   It's a great road song...aahoooooo!

Saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vics...his hair was perfect       ....priceless

 

Kid Rock copped the groove and sampled lots of the melody for "All Summer Long" a few years ago.  He mashed up Werewolves with Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Turned out to be a pretty good song too...how could it miss?...it was a reincarnation of Werewolves of London (sadly with out the  ahoooo-s though).  Werewolves is better but give Kid Rock a listen.

Epica does a great job with this! I usually hate classical adaptations but this is pretty badass.  I have listened to some more of their stuff after hearing this piece.  Thank you for this new discovery (for me).  Just for comparison sake here is the Berlin Philharmonic doing the piece closer to it's original form...it kicks at about 1:35

wow thank you for letting me know it's actually a classical adaptation! i actually thought they wrote this one themselves ;)

 

among my favourite epica songs are "cry for the moon"... people here think I'm a satanist when i listen to it

Wow!  I love this remix!  So tasty.  I've always liked the original even though one might apply term "cheesy" to the song.  The way it is treated here, with the groove and new percussive parts being dominant over the vocals makes it a almost a new song.  Thank you for this one...it's a keeper and might turn out to be the consummate version for me.

 

Dolly Parton did a song with the KLF that I always liked too...a tad goofy, but a real earworm and totally fun.   This may balance out the previous post of that mondo-sad version of Sound of Silence.  I was glad to hear it once.  It is well done and I appreciate the artistry, but way too depressing for me...yikes.

hahaha - yeah, I know this one ;)

 

Seeing the video I think that it could even serve as an ending sequence of a Disney movie :D

you know that kind of movies where the queen sings in the end, while oo the others dance in synchronised formations broken up with solo performances. All that is missing is the obligatory prince xD

 

Find a positive tune here, to tune the last bits of sadness out of you ;)

Sure, both original and Epica's are very powerful. 

 

I just listened to "Cry For the Moon"...I like it!  I hear some Mike Oldfield influence in the basic rhythm chop...try listen and see if you agree: 

 

 

 

 

 

I wasn't going to embed these because I didn't want this post to get squished together with my other Dolly Parton post.  And, I don't think Tubular Bells or Epica will appeal to many folks on the forum.  But I ended up sticking them both in a spoiler for convenience sake and maybe someone else might be interested.  I hope that keeps them from getting combined with Dolly and the KLF.

 

The front of Tubular Bells by Oldfield was the main theme for "The Exorcist"  which was a terrifying movie in it's time and is the part that reminds me of Cry For the Moon.  Tubular Bells has many dramatically different sections within it.  It's long and even gets a bit tedious to listen to...at least for me...but parts of it are really good.  This YouTube version is compressed to hell and doesn't do the original recording justice...the CD is wildly better fidelity and full of real bass and very bright highs. Compression is the price we pay for "free" music and instant accessibility on YouTube.

 

Anyway, another bit of this I think you will like starts at about 6:25 to around 7:50.  My favorite part of the piece is found from around 14:00 to 15:05.  Tubular Bells is a trip and the style changes are in dramatic contrast to each other but all tied together by the reoccurring main theme found at the front of the piece...the bit that reminds me of Epica.

 

PS I took you off "Block" ...I usually read your posts anyway :)

The video really makes this song.  It's so funny.  I can't really tell but does the tiger at 0:47 have a can of whipping cream or even worse, a can of spray paint?  Hardcore either way :)

 

BlackWasp777  Thanks for the uppy-duppy.  I haven't heard that song in ages and have put into my current tune rotation.

 

 

Sorry, I don't know how to combine posts unless they are done all at the same time and you use MultiQuote.  In other words, once a post has been made and posted, I don't know how to embed another different quote in it an hour or so later.

This song was Soundgarden's biggie hit and if you are used to the original version, there is a good chance you will despise this version. 

 

I think it is wonderful because of the contrast between lyrics and the oh-so-smooth orchestration of Steve Lawrence along with his squeeze Eydie Gorme.  The video edits out Soundgarden themselves and splices the freaky bits together.  The lyrics, the song, the arrangement, and the video make a fabulously twisted four minutes.

 

Norah Jones does a serious and lovely torch version of this song too.  I'm not embedding it because I'm interested more in reactions to Steve and Eydie's version.  The Norah Jones version is easy to find on YouTube.

Sniper in spoiler

 

 

 

Am I?
I am a lover who's never been kissed.
Am I?
I am a fighter that's not made a fist.
Am I?
If I'm alive then there's so much I've missed,
How do i know I exist?

 

8:58

Am I? (Am I?)

There is no way that you can hide me, (Am I?)

Though you have put your fire inside me, (Am I?)

You've given me my answer, can't you see?

I was...

I am...

And now, I will be....I will be!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you listen to Sniper? ...Kinda the same theme yeah?
