Thanks, tina! I feel that my wrongness is validated now.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I was driving home from work, listening to the local "classic rock" station when they announced the winners of their latest contest, getting to play onstage with Ian (last name I forget) from Deep Purple during "Smoke on the Water". The reason I mention this? One of the winners plays the theramin, and they played part of his "audition tape".
"Smoke on the Water"
You mean "Slow Walkin Roger ( The Fire Engine Guy)"?
Ian (last name I forget)
Ian Gillan
I don't know if people have seen the OK Go video or not: [link]

I'd always heard this as "Slow Motion Walter (The Fire Engine Guy.)"

theremin.
errr... I mean... awesome! (really)
Hey, speaking of which, is that actually a woman singing in "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," like I read somewhere recently? Because to my ears it sounds awfully theremin-esque.
The original by the Tokens? Pretty sure it's a dude.
A little googling and I stand corrected:
Classically-trained singer Anita Darian supplied the high soprano during the sax solo and as the counter melody to the lead vocal. >[link]
