[Assumes they already haven’t been used as such of course]

[“Nemo”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIBdpFJyFkc), by Nightwish, could be used for a new interpretation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (assumes Nemo is made a bit more sympathetic & romantic).

[“Lazarus”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jtc4dF721g), by Porcupine Tree would be good for a slightly edgy yet redemptive tale set in the country.
