The great composers have never shied away from taking inspiration from each other, so, too, contemporary songwriters have drawn from the well of memorable melodies, often to add gravitas or simply to enhance a song's catchiness. From ELP to Lana Del Rey, Muse to Lady Ga Ga, this is nothing new. Focusing on the 1960s, \"Classical Gassers\" explores this unlikely meeting of the twain with recordings ranging from rocked-up instrumentals to lush countrypolitan ballads. While some are unabashed in their use of the composer's original, others tread more lightly, giving the piece a new dimension entirely. Recorded between 1960 and 1971, this eclectic selection includes hits by James Darren, the Toys, Waldo de Los Rios, Julie Rogers, Love Sculpture and the Mindbenders, album tracks by Roy Orbison and Harpers Bizarre, and lesser-heard finds by the Cats, Renee St Clair, Lesley Miller and the Pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiltdown Rides Again - the Piltdown Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Goodbye Cruel World - James Darren\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dawning - Jay ; the Americans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Just Let Me Cry - Lesley Gore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nut Rocker - B Bumble ; the Stingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Lover's Concerto - the Toys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mountain of Our Love - Lesley Miller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Asia Minor - Kokomo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Wears My Ring - Roy Orbison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wedding (La Novia) - Julie Rogers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tchaikovsky One - the Second City Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swan Lake - the Cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Clair de Lune - Jay ; the Americans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stranger in Paradise - the Galens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hello Muddah Hello Faddah (A Letter from Camp) - Allan Sherman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hall of the Mountain King - Sounds Incorporated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Hero - Renee St Clair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can Can Girl - the Pulse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Peter and the Wolf - Harpers Bizarre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mozart Symphony No.40 in G Minor - Waldo de los Rios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Attack! - the Toys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Whiter Shade of Pale - Shorty Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Groovy Kind of Love - the Mindbenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sabre Dance - Love Sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521782485266,"sku":"029667076524","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-classical-gassers-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
