Norway hits wrong note with Swiss anthem

Actor Christopher Lee (of “Dracula” and “Lord of the Rings” fame) has recorded a symphonic metal album about the Frankish king Charlemagne (who is said to be Lee’s ancestor). (UPDATED in 2011 with a new video since the previous videos expired.)

The Sex Pistols, a ’70s British punk band, were infamous for their anti-monarchy song God Save the Queen, but now singer John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) reportedly "would like to make a documentary showing the 'good side' of the royal family."
Singer Natalie Imbruglia says Prince Harry is “a fabulous dancer.”
(Read about Prince Harry’s apparent fondness for pop music — and his rumored romance with Imbruglia.)
Britain’s Prince Harry is obviously a big music fan. When he isn’t flying military helicopters, riding motorcycles, or stumbling out of nightclubs wearing pink nail polish, the prince can often be found attending concerts and/or flirting with pretty female singers.
So let’s take a look at some of the musicians Harry has favored with his royal attention recently. (I know he probably has an iPod, not a jukebox, but I’m feeling old school today, so please humor me.)
BASEMENT JAXX: Wikipedia informs me that this is a house music duo (electronic dance music). Supposedly Prince Harry dressed up in a gorilla suit to join them onstage in July. Sample Basement Jaxx video: U Don’t Know Me (warning: it depicts the Queen engaging in some, um, rather scandalous behavior).
NATASHA BEDINGFIELD: It’s being claimed that Prince Harry and the British pop singer have been secretly working on plans for a huge charity concert. Sample Natasha Bedingfield video: Pocketful of Sunshine (Simlish version — that’s the language spoken by characters in “The Sims” video games).
THE KILLERS: Harry reportedly hung out backstage with the pop-rock group in June. Sample Killers video: Spaceman (very New Wave).
NATALIE IMBRUGLIA: There have been lots of rumors this year that Harry has been dating the Australian singer-actress. Sample Natalie Imbruglia video: Wild About It (this video is allegedly based on the “kind of house party that Harry” enjoys).
DIZZEE RASCAL: Harry’s behavior during a backstage visit prompted this rapper to say, “If you weren’t royalty I’d have punched you in the face by now.” Sample Dizzee Rascal video: Bonkers (it makes me want to punch myself in the face).
