Waldo de los Rios (7 September 1934 – 28 March 1977) was an Argentine composer, conductor and arranger.
Here’s Waldo!
He is best remembered for his ability to transform European classical music into pop music. – Wikipedia
Waldo de los Rios made his hits,
By giving classic themes a pop facade.
It gave the highbrow music fans the fits, —
In any case it certainly was odd.
Crowds will dance to “Ode to Joy” with drum tracks,
But that’s no token that you’ve made improvements,
Stepping on a LEGO or some thumb tacks
Will also cause enthusiastic movements.
