Would be scarier if they could pronounce “V”

Laibach covering Sympathy for the Devil (mp3, about 11Mb, about eight minutes long)

I giggled all the way to the subway listening to this one, and then happily filed it next to Ozzy murdering Stayin’ Alive, Willie Nelson’s charming version of Rainbow Connection and Jerry Garcia’s rather dark cover of Teddy Bears Picnic in a playlist of covers that cause me disproportional amusement.

Now if only someone would unearth for me a digital copy of Coil (I thought it was Laibach again, but Rena sent me a link that corrected this mistake) covering Tainted Love, I shall call my iPod complete.
