Coil's Version[]Artist: Coil Album: Scatology Appears On (Mixes): You're Giving Me Brain Damage! Song Notes: Even though it's a famous song, the one most people are familiar with is Soft Cell's version, which is admittedly pretty rad. This one's a lot, lot creepier, though, particularly with the buzzer. Amusingly enough, Marc Almond from Soft Cell has worked with Coil quite a bit and even appears in the video for Coil's version. Really beautiful video, too -- be sure to check that out if nothing else. - Rev. Syung Myung Me |
