Satan Never Sleeps
This is the prettiest melody ever devoted to Satan. Perhaps death metal groups could follow this tactic.The singer's Wikipedia page.

The Sea Serpent Polka
I accidentally discovered that Alex, at The Museum of Hoaxes, had already covered a topic I was interested in: The Gloucester Sea Serpent.But his very informative piece neglects one detail. The sighting also inspired a piece of music: "The Sea Serpent Polka."

Clarinet made from bones
When Signor Ubaldo Ubaldi, an Italian criminal, died in 1950, he left £12 in his will so that his bones could be polished and made into clarinet mouthpieces.At least, that was widely reported at the time. I have doubts about the veracity of the story, though I can't disprove it either. I can't find any report that Ubaldi's last wishes were carried out.
