QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Schminnte: For ALT1, the cited source itself does not mention "a children's version of 'Enter Sandman'". So I'm assuming the "source" is in fact the thumbnail image of one of the embedded Youtube music videos in the article? If that's the case, I'm not keen on this sourcing... It's difficult for readers to verify the hook because they would think to look at what the article has written rather than the thumbnail image of an embedded external video. Is there a better source for this claim? Bennv123 (talk) 21:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

@Bennv123: It was more the phrase Metallica? A children’s song, which implies that this was the genre swap. If that's not ok then can we go for ALT0? Schminnte (talk contribs) 22:04, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

@Schminnte: I'm not satisfied with that either since it doesn't mention which Metallica song or confirm that they actually made a children's cover of the song. I'm ok with just going for the original hook, but if that's the case, can you strikethrough ALT1? Thanks. Bennv123 (talk) 22:09, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
@Bennv123: Struck. I preferred ALT0 anyway: I usually offer an ALT hook just in case, even if I like the original better. Schminnte (talk contribs) 22:17, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
