(Matthew 14:8-11) On Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by the song 'Heads Will Roll', by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” The king was distressed, but because of his oath, he ordered that her request be granted. John The Baptist's head was brought in on a platter and given to Salome. "Dance till you're dead", said the song.
