I ran across this gem of a band today. They take the concepts of Metallica songs, and set them to Beatles tunes. Here’s a lyrical excerpt from _The Thing That Should Not Let It Be_:

“Let it be, let it be. Hybrid children watch the sea. He is the thing that should not let it be.”

All of their work is available for [free download](http://www.sensoryresearch.com/~starkeff/beatallica.html). Check it out!
