The mildly deranged penguin is currently running around in circles and SHOUTING — well, Ok, she frequently does that — apparently trying to decide between nuking-from-orbit or nuking-from-orbit-around-another-planet.

It was fun when Paul Anka did “Smells like teen spirit”. This isn’t.
I just put on the Apocalyptica cover, to clean my brain.
Good choice. I have the Apocalyptica cover and the original stacked on my playlist.

I’m sorry! I did put a warning. I remember those stupid comix from when I was young. *shudder*

According to the wikipedia page (because of course there’s a wikipedia page), the people responsible for this… thing… include Ronnie James Dio on vocals; Dweezil Zappa on electric guitar; and Sheila E. on timbales.
You’re all joking, but I just had my fiancée listen to this and yep, it’s decided, it’s gonna be played at our wedding.
Just so we can say afterwards that we had a Metallica first dance. Ironically. I think.
We weren’t joking. You can dance to Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters. You can dance to Apocalyptica’s cover of same, or Gregorian’s cover. You can dance to any of Apocalyptica’s Metallica covers, and at least those are actually good.
Nothing Else Matters is a love song, and a beautiful one at that, appropriate for a wedding. You might want to tell your fiancée to figure out what Enter Sandman is about. It’s not a fucking love song.

Blf:
Absolutely.
Ice Swimmer:
No, it’s a travesty. Everyone he covered should have sued his ass off.

Cross-posted from t’other Pat Boone thread…
Good grief.
Fortunately, there’s a cure.

Yes it is. Oh yes, it’s beyond bad. There are no words.
You’re on thin ice! ;)

I only knew Pat Boone from this, I didn’t need to know him for that! :(

Hilarious! Funnier than Weird Al’s polka covers of pop hits.
