I will advance this first proposition: Hard speed/thrash metal music with peace and love type Beach Boys lyrics. If it has been done, it's always done as a sarcastic cover tune. It needs to be done for real.

I have no idea why I "advanced this proposition." I don't even remember writing that.

Free Tejano:

free jazz and latino bluegrass.

i say yes yes yes.

Easy listening (I'm thinking specifically of "After the Lovin'") - with Hungarian/Romanian Gypsy music + Ska rhythms.

New age Oi music. Bonus points if they cover Gilbert and Sullivan.

I can't find a Beach Boys version of Death Metal but I did find this:
Those who read the "Best Karaoke Song" might've asked yourself: what the hell is the "Free Software Song"?

Well, here's a Death Metal/Grindcore version of it!

Note: you have to have a media player than can do OGG files (Or a program that turns OGG files into WAVs or MP3s) to listen to this.

Country music with scratching

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Thursday, 24 July 2003 18:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Iiiiii dunno about that. {L Nick] is like 98% goth, 1% rap and 1% random line noise. I'm looking for some befanged homey dropping science over minor key harpsichord riffs.

i like the way that bubba sparxxx's new song has answered all the people who say "rap is the modern blues" and actually literally made a blap song

― sean g, Thursday, 24 July 2003 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Atonal no wave with a blue grass backbeat.

Gravediggaz? Or is that horrorcore?

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 25 July 2003 00:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I may have said a few of these on other threads:

Dub Skiffle
Powerelectro Metal
Coffeetable Gabba
Choral Oi

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 25 July 2003 00:56 (twenty-three years ago)

slick top 40 r&b with tuvu throat singing
peter paul and mary meets husker du. seriously this time
blues singer or little walter-style harpist with a gamelan orchestra
bossa nova versions of smiths hits
feedbacky afrobeat
poetry and rap [in the tradition of poetry and jazz, and those rod mckuen lps with anita kerr. the idea here is a poet hangs out with a rap group, and over the beat, and over the mc rapping, he reads poetry. like, at the same time.]

Have you heard the "Dark Lotus" album?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 25 July 2003 10:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Nope. Is it Carlos Santana being possesed by the soul of Miles "Dark Magus" Davis again?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:20 (twenty-three years ago)

peter paul and mary meets husker du.

their version of "Eight Miles High"?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 25 July 2003 14:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Using this topics train of thought, i made a "Cantonese Glitch Opera" track a while back:
http://noneinc.com/sound/%2520&%a7p%a9%99%a8P&%b1%c1%80%8a%bf%d8-%80%9b%20in%20%bdf%ba@%a7%df%87g%86%d9%a7W%bdf%b6%b1%81%87%ba%87%20glitch%ba%f7%e6%bcs.mp3

as for the "Country With Scratching", i've got a country version of Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise" which i believe has some scratching in it.

― Simon H., Saturday, 26 July 2003 12:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I believe I've done all of the abovementioned at some time or another.

''Country music with scratching''

Didn't Momus do this? Oh wait, that was folk music meets electronica. My mistake.

― Kim Tortoise, Saturday, 26 July 2003 12:49 (twenty-three years ago)

"slick top 40 r&b with tuvu throat singing"

I'm emailing this request to Timbaland as we speak.

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Monday, 28 July 2003 05:44 (twenty-three years ago)

bluegrass grindcore/speedmetal.... seriously I think it would sound great.

― chad (chad), Monday, 28 July 2003 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

That's not too far off to begin with, given the emphasis on instrumental virtuousity for both genres (in the 'Kirk Hammett thinks he's Segovia' sense at least).
