And Rock Begot Metal

Metal artists not only have a sense of humor; many of them are college graduates.

 
Back when the musical genre of "metal" was just beginning to take shape, an animated MOVIE called "Heavy Metal" was released. This movie was a bit less coherent, and a LOT less child-friendly, than "The Yellow Submarine," but featured startlingly vivid action for a pre-computer animated production. If you search for "HEAVY METAL (TAKIN' A RIDE)," you'll find a music video which excerpts the movie. I am not linking it here; it is definitely not suited for nine-year-olds.
 
Here, metal artists cover a sentimental song, and their style DOES NOT ruin the intended feeling.

They even toss in a ballerina.
