Careful with this one, it twangs pretty hard. Might hurt your ears if you aren't ready for it.

There was already an excellent song by Emmylou posted earlier, made me think of this one.

Lots of kings and queens in this one.

edit--which came first--this or "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue? both released in 1992, they always sounded quite similar to me

Here we go, should've thought of this right away. There are several tasty versions of this taking it in a different direction from its classical origin. Going full on metal w/ a bunch of cellos.

Dang, not the version I wanted, but it wouldn't post for some reason. In that one they are all playing like their hair is on fire, it's pretty wild.





Here's a couple other versions from other bands.

Epica - In the Hall of the Mountain King (The Classical Conspiracy)

I thought of this one but then didn't get it posted. The one metal band I've actually seen live.
