Andy Rehfeldt has done it again. The Los Angeles-based composer, whose YouTube videos have accumulated more than 50,000,000 views over the last few years, has released a clip in which he gives Iron Maiden's 1982 classic Number Of The Beast a bossa nova makeover.
Rather than just attach an isolated vocal to an existing bossa nova track, Rehfeldt has rearranged the original track entirely and recorded the results, matching the audio to live footage of Iron Maiden performing the song. The film syncs perfectly, from the gracefully funky solos by Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Steve Harris, to the sweet backing vocals that swoop in briefly at the 3'50" mark.
