Real World Analogue: Gags such as "We're way bigger than cheeses" make it pretty clear that the Band With Rocks In is very much a Beatles pastiche although lead singer/harpist Imp Y Celyn's name translates from the Welsh to 'the bud of the holly bush', hence his stage name 'Buddy'. He also has rather pointed ears, leading various parties to enquire whether he might be Elvish...
Jacket Blurb:
Other children get given xylophones. Susan just had to ask her grandfather to take his vest off. Yes. There's a Death in the family.
It's hard to grow up normally when Grandfather rides a white horse and wields a scythe – especially when you have to take over the family business, and everyone mistakes you for the Tooth Fairy.
And especially when you have to face the new and addictive music that has entered Discworld.
It's lawless.
It changes people.
It's called Music With Rocks In.
It's got a beat and you can dance to it, but... It's alive.
And it won't fade away.
