When I clicked on the link for Pat Boone’s (ulk) metal album, I found something interesting in the “Customers who bought this item also bought…” section.

[A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC.](http://www.amazon.com/A-Hillbilly-Tribute-AC-DC/dp/B00005CCB0/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_a/104-0637674-8155112?ie=UTF8)

\*\*ANY \*\*opera singer who sings anything other than opera/classical. Especially Frederika von Stade’s Brubeck album (whose music is ruined by lyrics, no matter who’s singing them).

And then there’s the Vienna Boys’ Choir singing “The Girl from Ipanema.”

There are cop shows on TV. There is a musical genre know as rock.

And then there’s [Cop Rock](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_Rock).

Flipping radio stations one day, I encountered a [bluegrass version](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005OW56?v=glance) of Pink Floyd’s _Comfortably Numb._ It was a bit disturbing, but not nearly as awful as it could have been
