La Llorona | Love & Rockets
The band La Llorona from the graphic novel Love & Rockets #7: The Death of Speedy by Jaime Hernandez (Fantagraphics Books, 1986).
Aztec folklore possibly influenced the legend of La Llorona; the goddess Cihuacoatl (or Coatlicue) was said to have appeared shortly prior to the invasion of Mexico by Hernán Cortés, weeping for her lost children, an omen of the fall of the Aztec empire.

Irving Berlin | At The Devil's Ball
I had a dream last night That filled me full of fright
I dreamt that I was with the Devil below
In his great big fiery hall
Where the Devil was giving a ball
I checked my coat and hat
And started gazing at
The merry crowd that came to witness the show
And I must confess to you
There were many there I knew
At the Devil's BallAt the Devil's Ball
I saw the cute Missus Devil, so pretty and fat
Dress'd in a beautiful fireman's hat
Ephraham, the Leader man, who led the band last fall
He play'd the music at the Devil's Ball
In the Devil's hall
I saw the funniest devil that I ever saw
Taking the tickets from folks at the door
I caught a glimpse of my mother-in-law
Dancing with the Devil
Oh! the little Devil
Dancing at the Devil's Ball
The Devil's Pa and Ma
Were standing at the bar
Conversing with the little fellow who first
Put the pain in champagne wine
He was pouring it out in a stein
I bought a round of ice
For ev'rybody twice
It wasn't long before I ordered a fan
And before the break of dawn
I put my overcoat in pawn
At The Devil's Ball, Irving Berlin, 1913

LIFE! Do you hear me? | Gene Wilder 1974
From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, "I am man!," our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens. We shall mock the earthquake. We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself.
