I must say, TMBG's version has a better back beat.

I've read about this song since I was little; curiosity finally got the best of me and here I am. Thank you TMBG for recording this historically significant song.

Just heard this for the first time only 30 minutes ago and already listened to it 47 times. The math may not add up, but then again can math explain such an amazing song?

I don't think that they're mannequins. Mannequins don't have different noses and head shapes. What about them is creepy to you?

I'll be seeing those mannequin heads in my sleep tonight. If I sleep.

I can only imagine what the Youtube comments on this song might have been if Youtube had existed when William Henry Harrison was running for President.

Surprisingly, that's what one of my favorite bands does. "In Extremo," a german metal band takes old (like centuries old) songs, and covers them. They use the original language it was written in and some of original instruments. Lately a lot of their work has been more original stuff, but most of the songs on "Weckt die Toten!" and "Verehrt und Angespien" are the traditional ones.
