I've always like Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams

p.s. can someone tell me how you embed youtube clips like you guys have been doing in this thread. Will edit later.

You go [ youtube ] n-mq0uJ7rlM [ /youtube ], the code is the part after the v= in the link, but remove the spaces.


I've always preferred this version of the song, which is somewhere inbetween the stripped back Bruce original and Rage's version - though it's not technically a cover.
