"C" is for Castration, Calamnity and Chaos: You never know what will pop over at Opinion Journal. Comes now an article on death metal and the unique vocal stylings of the lead singers who practice that craft. Apparently, according to those in the know at the Wall Street Journal, the singers invoke what's known as "Cookie Monster Singing" to spell out (in an indecipherable manner) their thoughts on dismemberment, death, torture and pain.

The author even got Frank Oz to comment, which is just fantastic as far as I'm concerned.
