[CARTOON] Metallica

Inspired by a true event. I think it was about 10 years ago when I was listening to a local "Top 40" countdown when some DJ filling in for the regular guy was doing okay, until he reached the #5 song by the band he mis-pronounced as "Metal-leek-ah". Kind of takes the "edge" of their image.
