Metallica vs. Dingo / Riku Niemi Orchestra - Unforgiven Cinderella

Tracks/samples:
Metallica - Unforgiven (acapella)
Riku Niemi Orchestra - Levoton Tuhkimo (orig. Dingo)

---
In 1984, a Finnish rock band Dingo caused a phenomenon dubbed as Dingomania, something previously unseen in a Finnish pop/rock culture. "Levoton tuhkimo" is one of the biggest hits in Finnish pop&rock history, no doubt about it.

Riku Niemi Orchestra made a big band version of Dingo hit "Levoton tuhkimo" (translation ~ "Restless Cinderella") in 2005. It's used as a backing track to this mashup. Such a nice swing version!

It's interesting to note the similarities in a chord progression between "Levoton tuhkimo" and "Unforgiven" by Metallica (1991). I'm not hinting there's any plagiarism, just saying how the hit pieces share often same key elements, even if the rendition or genre fools us not to hear it.

Kuinka moni suomalainen ei olisi kuullut Levoton tuhkimo -biisiä? Dingomania oli ja meni, mutta laulut pysyvät. Samoin hittikipaleiden peruselementit.

Metallican Unforgiven ja Levoton tuhkimo jakavat sointukulun osalta samat sävelet ja vaikka bändien habitus on eri planeetoilta, sopii herra Hedfieldin ääni hauskasti kasaripopin lomaan. Joskin tuhkimotarinan taustan esittää Riku Niemi Orchesta, jonka swing-henkinen coveri tuo sävellyksen pois syntetisaattoreiden valtaamasta äänimaailmasta.
