apocalypsosBefore I ask yet another "Which song reminds you of ..." yadda yadda music cakes, this has been bugging me forever and a day.
Remember that show they used to have on MTV, where they'd show a bunch of people new videos and they got to vote which ones sucked and which ones rocked? I saw the video for "My Heart Will Go On" on that show for the very first time, which was kind of the whole reason I loved it ... because the losing videos, some of which deserved to get into rotation, faded away when they were actually pretty good. (EDIT: I just realized saying it like that makes it look like I liked that video. Er, no.)
There's one I remember specifically that I died laughing at but never saw again. I could swear it was a song by Goldfinger, and the video featured a puppet alien attacking what I assume to be the band as they ran through a space station, a la Alien. I remember loving the song, but I can't remember for the life of me which song it was. Please tell me it's ringing a bell for someone else, because this has been bugging me for years.
So anyway, the music question. Let's say I were compiling a music mix called "Soundtrack for the Apocalypse" in some strange alternate dimension where I'm completely and totally obsessed with the end of the world. (As opposed to this one.) Which songs do you think would make good additions to the mix?
And also, what are your favorite cover songs?
EDIT: You know, I thought I liked "When the Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash when it played over the opening credits of "Dawn of the Dead" with all the riots and fires and death and whatnot, but now that I've listened to it over and over again for the past ten minutes or so, I think I'm in love. *swoons*
