Which voice types it fits in the original key

The bands are the classical voice types as the sourced Wikipedia articles state them. A voice type is settled by timbre and tessitura as well as span, so a band this song fits is not on its own your voice type.

Every band the song is measured against, in the key it was recorded in.
