I presume you are familiar with Beatallica? (Lennon and McCartney songs as Metallica would do them. Dead on imitation of Metallica, and hilarious covers.)

Don't take it seriously, and you'll probably love it. On a radio interview supporting its release Boone recalled a conversation he had with the late Ronnie James Dio (RIP). Boone told Dio how highly he thought of his songwriting, and Dio said that was telling because he'd actually written "Holy Diver" about Christ. Boone covered the song on the album and Dio made a guest appearance. Ritchie Blackmore did likewise on "Smoke On The Water".

If memory doesn't fail me, the Boone album wasn't bad if you ignored who was doing it. If it hadn't been
Pat Boone, there wouldn't have been nearly the reaction.
