Most videos and pictures that go viral usually generate nothing more than a shoulder shrug from yours truly. I mean, I really don’t give a flying fire truck what color that dress is. But, occasionally, something will catch my ear that I deem useful… A benefit to society, as such. When I see a video that actually improves two things, then it deserves the two million views it has received in just five days!

Old musical films bore the crap out of me. I think it stems from ‘Gigi’ beating out ‘Vertigo’ for an Oscar, but I digress. Even a Disney musical with some animation thrown in is as dull as ditchwater. Take, for example, that magical nanny ‘Mary Poppins’; with all of it’s “Jolly Holidaying” and “Chim Chim Cher-eeing”. The only thing good about that 50 year old movie is the infamous word that is “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. If only there were a cover version of that song…

Well, now there is… And it’s a death metal version! Thanks to the musical talents of Andy Rehfeldt and the vocal stylings of Sera Hatchett & Thomas Hinds, all of us can actually make it through a two minute scene from the movie without nodding off. And while she isn’t exactly Miss World, I’d probably prefer looking at Julie Andrews circa 1964 than some fat, bald & bearded death metal musician. Enjoy:

By the way, should I be worried that I see the dress as purple? No, not Mary Poppins' dress. You know, that other one.

A list of what? Death metal versions of 1960's musicals. It would be a list of 1. What's the definition of a "list" again?

Blogs can - and arguably should - be informal musings. That's why it's called 'Blogs' and not 'Features'.

DaveyBoy
03.01.15
Calm down guys. Fuck me, let's highlight one thing out of 100. Love the video, enjoy it & move on.

This is still Rehfeldt's best 'death metal' recreation. I've been following this guy for awhile.

is SnakeDelilah retarded or does he literally not understand the basic function of a blog?

DaveyBoy
03.01.15
Haha someguest. I saw something Rehfeldt did with (I think it was) Bing Crosby, but missed that Culture Club one. Classic.

controlled, I tried to explain it to Snake. I'll leave it at that.

DaveyBoy

All good, guys. I'll be back to mainstream pop-rock in no time. Maybe someguest has given me the motivation to run a 'History of Culture Club' feature. ;-)

someguest
03.01.15
Yeah. Then we can really start talking about dresses.

Snake.
03.01.15

Rowan, even since there was a half-decent discussion in my 'Grammy Metal' blog, Sputnik has become mature.

(There goes 75% of the users)

Did a half-decent discussion happen while I was gone?

"I wish I still found Rehfeldt's videos funny"
I guess it could get old after a while. but this is the 1st time I've come across anything by him. It still takes a fair bit of work though.

No Rogue, no. Dick Van Dyke is just not metal enough.

shadow honestly i've never said anything to you and all you've ever done is act like a cunt towards me even though i actually tried convincing you that you were a great user with a great music taste and an awesome personality

LOL Arcade. I swear that if you bagged the Def Leppard song of the same name, I was going to hunt you down. ;-)

OK guys, let us move on from whatever issues you have. Everyone's fine by me. Group hug.

"i'd honestly like to see Sunn O))) reimagine Mary Poppins, would actually be worth my time."

That would really be something

haven't seen Andy Rehfeldt's stuff in a while, fuckin' love his polka version of "Look At Me Now"

SharkTooth

the non-metal versions of songs were always the funnier of them imo,
especially the reggae version of Smells Like Team Spirit

Good to hear that you're still on board the DefLep bandwagon Arcade.

Gotta keep it moving tempest. I might slow down if more 2015 albums were released that motivated me to review more.

I'm trying to get quicker melonade. A little more training and I should be right.

Maybe he could do a song with each verse carried by a different sub-genre of metal.

Polka? I thought that was Weird Al's domain. But yeah, he does a few reggae versions of songs, so there is some variety in his repertoire.

controversy = ratings = becoming disliked = ratings

bloc

Love this video

DaveyBoy
03.03.15
bloc balances the scale a little more towards "love".

Dunno why, but I find myself looking at the band in the background more than the singers.

bloc
03.03.15
Haha that's exactly the reason why I commented, no kidding. Happy to show some support!

DaveyBoy
03.03.15
Do we still like similar'ish music, or have you become cool? Any LP that I missed in my absence? Or something you're really looking forward to?

bloc
03.03.15
Trust me bro A LOT has changed, ie. I'm cool now ;)

DaveyBoy

"Love" has taken the lead thanks to Talons... Not that I'm counting.
