So I'm not sure many of you guys know about this group. I bascailly don't know much about them aside from their entire persona as a bad is fictitious. So I guess they are more like Weird Al Yankovic than an actual serious metal/pop band... regardless, their blending of genres - specifically genre defining songs - is really kind of cool to hear. I really like Shook Me Like A Prayer. Which is basically AC/DC's Shook Me All Night Long with Madonna's Like a Prayer lyrics. Also, try 'We Will Kick Start Your Rhapsody' which is - as you may have guessed - a blend of Queen and Motley Crue. Their official video is 'Don't Stop The Sandman' which is a blending of Metallica's hit song with Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' lyrics. Not as good as the other two in my opinion but not bad.

Yes it's campy; especially that music video. But I think that's the entire point. They don't appear to be ultra serious artists, but moreso a group of guys really having fun. It's a refreshing take on some of the songs and really - not much different than some hip hop artists who rip complete songs and just redub different lyrics *cough* Kanye West *cough*
