Non-Metal Songs That Would Make Good Metal Songs

I would Love to hear a symphonic metal rendetion of my favorite movie soundtrack of all time: Dune

Also, how about King Diamond doing the song They're Coming To Take Me Away

How about death metal versions of children's nursury rhymes and songs. Morbid Angel doing Old McDonnald, Cannible Corpse doing Humpty Dumpty, Botlt Thrower doing Hickory Dickory Dock, or Napalm Death doing London Bridges! Heh? Heh?

An epic metal version of Garth Brooks' "Thunder Rolls," as I discussed elsewhere.

I'd also love a metal band to cover Def Leppard's "Overture."

I second the covering of DL's "Overture"

Decent, but I think someone could do a far better version.

Journey has some great songs! I love that band. Seems like a good power metal band like Silent Force or Stratovarius could do some justice to their work.

Here's a non-metal song whose metal cover worked a lot better than most would expect...Ke$ha's hit song "Tik Tok":
