June 30, 2026 - Metallica Breaks "Delilah" Ban, Françoise, Ella and Astrud Sing for Supergirl

Metallica has disregarded the rules at Principality Stadium in Cardiff by performing Welshman Tom Jones' 1968 hit "Delilah" during a concert. The song was banned from the stadium a few years ago due to its violent lyrics ('I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more...') but those wild rockers, who do what the want when they wanna, played it anyway, then donated $26,000 to the Cardiff Foodbank. The show broke an attendance record and hopefully James Hetfield and company's "artistic license" won't become a big issue. Tom 's gotta be feeling proud right about now!

The Supergirl movie is in theaters and features three songs from six decades gone on its soundtrack: Françoise Hardy's 1962 Vogue recording of "Le temps de l'amour," Ella Fitzgerald's classic take on Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek" and the 1964 hit and Grammy winner for Record of the Year, "The Girl From Ipanema" by Getz/Gilberto with Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jackass: Best and Last includes "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, which begs the question: is it Johnny Knoxville's signature song now? And a promo for Minions & Monsters takes liberties with an all-time singalong song as the Minions perform an unintelligible version of the Regents/Beach Boys classic "Barbara-Ann."
