Awesome Leo Moracchioli

We Didn’t Start the Fire: Heavy Metal Edition

We Didn’t Start the Fire: Heavy Metal Edition

Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal suicide. Leo Morachiolli didn’t start the fire, but he did an impressive job covering Billy Joel’s wordy 1989 hit, adding fuel to the inferno with his hard-edged guitar and gravelly vocals. If you’re waiting for Joel to update the song for the 21st century, don’t hold your breath.

Don’t You (Forget About Metal)

Don’t You (Forget About Metal)

Good morning! It’s time for your wake-up call, and there’s no better sound to get you up and going than the screaming vocals of metalhead Leo Moracchioli. This time, he sharpened the edge of the Simple Minds track Don’t You (Forget About Me</a>. Rain keeps falling, down, down, down works really well as a metal lyric.

Clint Eastwood: Metal Edition

Clint Eastwood: Metal Edition

Leo Moracchioli is feeling glad, and he’s got sunshine in a bag. So kick back, crank up the volume, and enjoy his amped-up rock cover version of Gorillaz’s 2001 hit track Clint Eastwood. It’s so good that we want him to cover Dare now.

Heavy Metal Misirlou

Heavy Metal Misirlou

Musician Leo Moracchioli takes a detour from the beach with this scream-filled cover version of the Dick Dale and the Del-Tones surf rock classic Misirlou. The song that Pulp Fiction made famous (for the second time) sounds especially great when played with anger as Leo does.

Baby Got Back: Metal Edition

Baby Got Back: Metal Edition

Because Leo Moracchioli needs to turn every possible song into a heavy metal version of itself, here’s his absolutely explosive cover of the Sir Mix-a-Lot track Baby Got Back. Next time you have a workplace party, be sure to crank this one up to 11.

4-Minute Metal Medley

4-Minute Metal Medley

Musician Leo Moracchioli is usually entertaining us with his unique, heavy metal versions of popular songs. This time out, he focused his intense energy on existing metal and rock, performing song excerpts from Disturbed to Cannibal Corpse in a rapid-fire medley.

Metal Mungo Jerry

Metal Mungo Jerry

Heavy metal musician Leo Moracchioli busts out the banjo and euphonium for this oompah-rock cover version of Mungo Jerry’s classic skiffle track In the Summertime. The only thing Leo neglected to do was grow out some epic sideburns like Mungo lead singer Ray Dorset wore.

Y.M.C.A. as a Heavy Metal Song

Y.M.C.A. as a Heavy Metal Song

Get yourself clean, have a good meal, and do whatever you feel. Leo Moracchioli is here to rock out a high-energy cover version of the Village People’s 1978 disco track Y.M.C.A.. The only thing better would have been if Leo had worn the original cop’s uniform.

Fraggle Metal

Fraggle Metal

Musician Leo Moracchioli has always had a thing for puppets, so it’s only natural that he’d expand his repertoire to include a song from a puppet show. His heavy metal cover of the theme from Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock will have you dancing your cares away and saving your worries for another day.

Row, Row, Row Your Metal Boat

Row, Row, Row Your Metal Boat

Musician Leo Moracchioli is known for his heavy metal covers of pop music. We guess the classic singalong Row, Row, Row Your Boat is as popular as kids’ songs get. So Leo and his puppet avatar got down to business to give us the most metal version they could come up with. Life is but a dream, woooooooooooah!

Hip to Be Metal

Hip to Be Metal

Musician Leo Moracchioli is here, there, and everywhere with energetic heavy metal cover of the Huey Lewis and the News 1986 hit Hip to Be Square, a song you might also remember from the novel and film American Psycho.

Heavy Metal Milkshake

Heavy Metal Milkshake

You know two things we don’t think of when we hear the Kelis song Milkshake? Norway and heavy metal. Yet, here we are with another vigorous rock performance by Oltedal, Norway’s resident metalhead Leo Morachiolli, and this time he’s here to bring all the boys to the yard.

Jet: Metal Edition

Jet: Metal Edition

Paul McCartney and Wings’ Band on the Run is one of the former Beatles’ best records, and one of the greatest albums of all time. One of our favorite tracks has to be Jet. Musician Leo Moracchioli hits it with his razor-sharpened edge, amping up the already energetic track to another level.

Come Together: Metal Edition

Come Together: Metal Edition

With the help of the WaterBear College of Music, metalhead Leo Morachiolli and his friends Hannah Boulton, Rabea Massaad, Erik Torp, and Truls Haugen scored a recording session at the famed Abbey Road Studios to record a powerful cover version of The Beatles’ Come Together with even more of an edge than Aerosmith’s version.

Holding Out for a Metal Hero

Holding Out for a Metal Hero

Appearing on the Footloose soundtrack, the Bonnie Tyler and Jim Steinman song Holding out for a Hero is the poster child for 1980s musical excess. Leo Moracchioli swaps synths for screams with a heavy metal cover of the track that would give John Lithgow’s judgmental reverend a heart attack if he heard it.

Buddy Holly: Metal Edition

Buddy Holly: Metal Edition

We recently learned what it might have sounded like if Weezer recorded Nirvana’s Come As You Are. Now listen to a Weezer song bestowed with a heavy metal growl, courtesy of resident metalhead Leo Moracchioli. What’s with these homies dissin’ his girl?

Can’t Get You Out of My Metal Head

Can’t Get You Out of My Metal Head

Kylie Minogue’s 2001 pop hit Can’t Get You Out of My Head is one of those songs you just can’t get out of your head. Leo Moracchioli’s heavy metal spin on the track is just as much of an earworm, though it might make them bleed more.

Agatha All Along: Metal Edition

Agatha All Along: Metal Edition

The big reveal about Agatha in WandaVision played out in musical form, thanks to an earworm of a track by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Rocker Leo Moracchioli applies his trademark style to the song with another fun heavy metal cover. His outro is almost as good as the song itself, so stick around to the end.

All Star (Metal Edition)

All Star (Metal Edition)

We present for your entertainment the one-billionth cover version of Smash Mouth’s megahit All Star, but somehow Leo Moracchioli managed to give it a totally new sound by making the track as metal as possible. Also, how does he sing with that full-face mask on?

Intergalactic Metal

Intergalactic Metal

Resident metalhead Leo Moracchioli takes us to another dimension and a new galaxy with his angry, gravel-voiced version of the Beastie Boys’ 1998 track Intergalactic. While nobody can possibly top Ad-Rock, Mike D, and MCA, Leo’s take on the track is certainly entertaining.

Metal Tragedy

Metal Tragedy

(PG-13: Language) When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on, it’s tragedy. Resident metalhead Leo Moracchioli presents an angry version of the Bee Gees’ 1979 disco hit Tragedy, a song which seems to be exceptionally relevant during these frustrating days when we can’t always be with our loved ones.

WAP: Metal Edition

WAP: Metal Edition

(PG-13: Language) Get a bucket and a mop out for resident metalhead Leo Moracchioli as he transforms Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s unambiguously smutty pop track WAP into a heavy metal song and replaces the shameless images of well-endowed women with a cute little kitty taking a shower.

It’s Tricky: Metal Edition

It’s Tricky: Metal Edition

Leo Moracchioli covers Run DMC’s 1986 hip hop hit It’s Tricky, taking a rap metal approach not dissimilar to Red Hot Chili Peppers version of the Ohio Players’ Love Rollercoaster. We love how Leo still managed to work in some scratching.
