(What other people think doesn't affect how I vote:) But StMc cracked me up with the Elmer Fudd comment. I was still listening to the Entombed version, but was now really looking forward to hearing the other one.<br /><br />Must say that I agree with the comments about Entombed. Their sound is super gravelly, which translates to shouting. Add that to the gravelly music and it wasn't appealing to this ear.<br /><br />Of course, Black Debbah had me laughing all the way through. Each time they said "wampire" I thought of Elmer Fudd. However, all and still, I much preferred their interpretation of the song. Chalk one for Black Debbah.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002680784886524881.post-67269143386515297482015-10-02T12:47:55.426-07:002015-10-02T12:47:55.426-07:00I've never liked songs where I feel I'm be...I've never liked songs where I feel I'm being shouted at.

So you get NIGHT OF THE WAMPIRE. Sorry folks, I should have explained that before posting.<br /><br />Cathy: I thought Entombed was more evil sounding too.<br /><br />Michele: oh yeah, I've been watching. I like it. I like that this group is not initially out running around the country side. Makes the possibility much more believable.<br /><br />Cherdo: yep, perfect :)<br /><br />Saint Mac: We've always been a hilarious pair. Still are, lol. Yep, he is singing Wampire (see my updated explaination). Nobody teases Ramstein, huh. I had to take a second look at their name also.<br /><br />FAE: Elmer Fudd sound does take all the terror out of the song, lol. I loved that too.<br /><br />Dixie: Hmm, now I am curious Polka Dot. I'm thinking Werewolves, but there are other monsters out there. Hopefully not Big Foot :) When Black Debbah sings in their language, they are scary; much scarier than Stephenwolf. Now that's what I'll hear when I listen to Entombed again.<br /><br />Janie: This is a hard choice. I think I'd like either of them better in any other song.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002680784886524881.post-14590242067681204382015-10-01T15:59:05.445-07:002015-10-01T15:59:05.445-07:00I vote for Black Debbah.

Coincidentally, there's nothing like being biten in the snow (see future blog post for details.)The guitar was really nice. Loved the ending.<br /><br />On the other hand, # 2 - Black Debbah - is he saying 'Wampire'? Holy moly- he is! Enjoyed the drums.<br /><br />Wammit - what a choice!!!

It looked more like a zombie scene though, so I had to include it :)<br /><br />Arlee: oh, yes Roky was the original! I had forgot who it was, just that the recording wasn't well done and I didn't like it much. Dang, he had a lot of songs up on uTube with that album. Some were pretty good. I don't think this song can be done very well.<br /><br />Stephanie: thanks for the video. They did pretty well; her voice is so masculine.
