Wicker Man

[Dave Monroe]

# Sneaker Pimps did a version of Willow's song they
titled "How do" on their debut release, Becoming X.
Doves, Isobel Campbell, Anna Oxygen and Faith and the
Muse have also covered the song.

# Iron Maiden have recorded a song entitled "The
Wicker Man" as have Pulp, the Pulp version containing
a sample from the film. Coincidentally, Bruce
Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, recorded his
own original song called "Wicker Man" in 1997, four
years before his reunion with the band and the
recording of the Iron Maiden song of the same name.

# English band Candidate made a 2002 album, Nuada,
inspired by The Wicker Man.
