I want to make a CDR80min, but I'm aiming to not have to cheat and put in a version of the original.

I'll start the ball rolling:

1. Psykik Volts - Totally Useless
2. Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel - Enter the Exterminator
3. Klute - Guilty

The Who do a version, but that might not count...

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Saturday, 9 October 2004 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Venom's guitarist, Mantas, plays an impromptu rendition of it during a solo on the live e.p., Canadian Assualt.

Erasure did a version once... on a B-side i think..

The first song from Emanon's 1998 Acid-9 EP samples this.

There's an extremely cheesy club-trance version of the composition, I can't rememeber who is it by.

Pegboy had a song entitled "In the Pantry of the Mountain King".
Relevant? I have no idea.

"Dream a Dream", by Captain Jack.

By far, my favorite track on Dance Dance Revolultion Max 2.
Captain Jack is a perv.

And Triumph's Rik Emmett used to incorporate it in his epic live solos, too! So I wonder who stole from whom.

Savatage did something with it. Wasn't the guitarist or singer nicknamed 'The Mountain King' or something?

― Jordan (Jordan), Saturday, 9 October 2004 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Erasure did a version on the b-side of "It Doesn't Have To Be" in 1987. Included as a bonus track on the CD edition of "The Circus"

It's used on Rick Wakeman's Journey To The Centre Of The Earth - can't remember which track, though.

I like to whistle this

"In the Hall of the Mountain Womble" gets really wild near the end with voices chanting "womble, womble, womble, womble" in time to the music.

It's almost at the end of the last track, "The Forest".

You mean, The Wombles did a version too? ;)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 9 October 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Certainly they did a version. It's on their Greatest Hits CD volume 1 (yes, they needed two cds to cover them all).

― everything, Saturday, 9 October 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

No actually it's Paul McCartney's version

Night on Disco Mountain

― JC-L (JC-L), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

except that that's Mussorgsky.

No mention of the SRC yet? Their Milestones is a good psychedelic-era LP, and has a version of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" on it. It's the worst track on a very fine record. "Up All Night" is the killer cut.

There's a lyrical allusion to it in "Spill the Wine." Musically, though, the flute barely hints at it.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 23:33 (twenty-one years ago)

No actually it's Paul McCartney's version

Essensially, "We All Stand Together" sounds like a Wombles reunion. :-)

Can't believe no one has mentioned (and can't believe you have to be Dutch to do so):
