Hmm... I don't think it'll be easy to do a cover of one of those songs. You're definitely right about upping the tempo. It would probably destroy the atmosphere of the song. Maybe you should look for examples first, but I don't know a single metal band that has covered a crooner song!

Oh yeah! I've never been big on Al Bowlly but that particular song really got to you during the movie!! I love Roy Orbison stuff. Cryin is one of my favorites but I think upping the tempo on it would just be a crime. It is a sad, lonely song that needs to be done just as he did it. Very solemn and destitute. Some songs are just that way. There is no other way to do them without losing the feel. That's my take anyway.

It is a great song indeed! I really like some of those crooners. Here's another one of my all time favorites:
I adore this Al Bowlly stuff! LOL! It sounds so "chique". It takes me back to another time and place. (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:40:56 PM)

Oh MAN, Craig!! I love Bobby Vinton! This is a GREAT song, man. I have been pondering old 60's songs the last few days. Thinking of ways to cover them with a heavier, more rock sound. This one may work as well. Now the hard part, getting the rest of the band on board!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
