A couple more from the many Neil wrote for the Rutles:

Among other things, the "Shrek" animated series of four films has always amazed my with their selection of songs to include. In the first, an awesome rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". In "Shrek The Third", where the princesses including Fiona are about to attack a fortified town held by the baddies. The gate is being patrolled by a couple of "Evil Treebeards" (from early LoTR phases), and as a distraction, one of the princesses gives a "twinkle twinkle" vocalization which also happens to attract loads of birds, squirrels, bunnies and "Bambis" (even Walt Disney would have rejected this for his films in a "serious" scene as being too saccharine! 🤮)
But as I wrote, this was a distraction, and the two evil treebeards certainly had facial expressions in the "Ehwot?" total confusion territory.
Distraction princess suddenly gets a severely "not amused" facial expression, gives an "attack" gesture, at which all of those cute widdle animals turn into something out of a Stephen King nightmare - underlaid by the searing opening riff (Page's guitar and Plant's screaming voice) of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". Switching to other songs as the scene switches to other parts of the action. (erm … or not?)

But here's a 2007 remaster of that Led Zeppelin ...
HEY! I just found a "Shrek 3" rendition!!!

And now the 2007 remaster of the entire original song.

Have you seen the Guardians of the Galaxy movies? They have some awesome music in their soundtracks too.

Huh. And here all this time I thought it was

I found this channel on YouTube that does modern songs as old style songs. They have quite a few gems .

This one's my favorite :

Black Parade as New Orleans marching band style song:

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

I just found one more lol

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

I'd watched some of those before -- good stuff!

Just for that, I'm posting another by the late, great Neil Innes, skewering you-know-who, back in 1979:

My stomach started hurting at the last chorus.

Edit: Just realized I posted that on another forum. Oops. So here's another:

 

[Olorgando]

Nice. But it definitely doe not hold a candle to the (original?) Dionne Warwick version I remember. Bacharach, together with lyricist Hal David (vaguely something of an Elton John - Bernie Taupin pairing) composed a lot of their hits specifically for this amazing singer, to the profit in many ways of both.

No to the movies. As to the intros you posted … I found them … er … confusing? 😳

Much more along the lines of my perhaps idiosyncratic taste - with one perhaps serious error:

Reminding me of Toto.
OK, here I go: HEALTH WARNINGS etc. (among other things, my being nutty for amp-shredding opening riffs). You've been warned - and I decided on the video version (a close call).

"I'm bored".

Nothing a little Seoul music can't cure:

Or Country Seoul:

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

How about a little bit more of good ol' Country and Western, straight from the heartland?
