Back in the 1950s, while filming a fire sequence for the movie X, the wind changed direction and Y was trapped in a raging blaze. Without a thought for his own life, Z, who played her wayward son Birju, dashed in with only a blanket to ward off the flames and carried her off to safety. Z ended up with painful burns and the love of his life, as within a year Y became Mrs Z.

The mythic creation of X is addressed in the song snippet:
"Prepare the patients scalp
To peel away
Metal caps his ears
He'll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor
Riveted across his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws
So no one hears his cries"
Y's mother used to say to him _____ when he was headbanging. "Don't do that or you'll _______ something up in there!" This then led to the expression "to _______ one's head" meaning head-bang. Identify X and Y.
