Princess Mononoke
A giant boar-demon attacks an Emishi village and the protagonist, Ashitaka (Yōji Matsuda), is forced to fight and kill him. In the struggle, Ashitaka receives a curse[4] which grants him superhuman strength but will eventually kill him. Under the advice of the village wisewoman (Mitsuko Mori), he leaves to travel to the west in search of a cure. After some traveling, he meets Jigo (Kaoru Kobayashi), a wandering monk who tells Ashitaka that he might find help from the forest spirit of a mountain range populated by giant animal-gods. Iron Town, located in that range, continually clears the nearby forests to make charcoal to smelt ironsand and produces advanced firearms, leading to battles with the giant forest beasts. Among these animals are giant wolves, who are accompanied by San (Yuriko Ishida), a human girl adopted by the wolves, whom the villagers of Iron Town call "Princess Mononoke." Ashitaka finds two villagers injured by the wolves near a river, whom he returns to Iron Town, passing through the forest, where he catches a glimpse of the forest spirit, a kirin-like creature by day and a towering "night-walker" by night.

They Said She Had A Breakdown
Someone's Always Tryin' To Start My Baby Cryin'
Talkin', Squealin', Lyin'
Sayin' You Just Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

Long before Thriller...in which Micheal Jackson begs and pleads with the greatest
director and producer of horror films of all time, to do his music video. Something the Director
swore he would never do. Music, painting, and opera did the other wise forbidden
telling of folk stories, Russian and Japanese mysticism. These were the precursor
to many songs that go unrecognized to most people. But people growing up in
eastern europe or french and Russian provinces grew up with them as stories
told to them by their parents.
Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition has inspired homages in a broad range of musical styles. A version featured in two albums by the British trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer incorporates elements of progressive rock, jazz and folk music (1971/2008). An electronic music adaptation by Isao Tomita was done in 1975. A heavy metal arrangement of the entire suite was released by German band Mekong Delta; another metal band, Armored Saint, utilised the "Great Gate of Kiev"'s main theme as the introduction to the track "March of the Saint". In 2002, electronic musician-composer Amon Tobin paraphrased Gnomus for the track "Back From Space" on his album Out from Out Where. In 2003, guitarist-composer Trevor Rabin released his electric guitar adaptation of "Promenade", once intended for the Yes album Big Generator, and later included on his demo album 90124. In 2005 Animusic 2 was released with an orchestration which was titled "Cathedral Pictures". It is based on the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer version, and thus there are only three movements: the first "Promenade", "Hut on Fowl Legs", and "The Great Gate of Kiev".
Jackson Brown's Pretender also based on Russian folk lore.
So I welcome any ones history of a song if it has one....most do.

Inspired by Russian literary works and legend, Mussorgsky made a witches' sabbath the theme of the original tone poem, completed on 23 June 1867 (St. John's Eve). St. John's Night on the Bare Mountain and Rimsky-Korsakov's "musical picture" Sadko (also composed in 1867) share the distinction of being the first tone poems by Russian composers.[1]
As with so much of Mussorgsky's music, the work had a tortuous compositional history and was arranged after his death in 1881 by his friend and fellow member of The Mighty Handful Rimsky-Korsakov. It was never performed in any form during Mussorgsky's lifetime.[2] The Rimsky-Korsakov edition premiered in 1886, and has become a concert favorite

sorry for the multiple post but unable to add or edit my 2d post....Nap time?This stuff is really cool to me, but I understand if is more than most people care to know. The work these people put
into their music is phenomenal.
