You should listen to Prokofiev’s other works. His music is very unique: A combination of delight and grotesque.

Piano Concerto No. 2 (Which is similar to Dance of the Knights at times)

Piano Concerto No. 3

Answer by Malcolm D
First of all… it is not a song. It has no vocals, but if this is something that you like then perhaps you should try:
The Planets – Gustav Holst (esp. Mars – the Bringer of War)
Peter and the Wolf – Prokofiev
Sleighride – Frederick Delius
The March of the Kitchen Utensils – Ralph Vaughan Williams
Concerto for Orchestra – Bela Bartok
Hoedown – Aaron Copland
Short Ride in a Fast Machine – John Adams
