Reply #44: Laibach's version of Queen's "One Vision"

[theredpen]

Watch at least two minutes of the following two videos:

Queen's "One Vision": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJvNvBYTsGw

Laibach's "Geburt Einer Nation": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YE_j0xIsJA

Note that the Laibach version opens with a piece of the US national anthem because they believed the song to be about America. This is why they retitled it "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9UPOkIpR0A">Geburt Einer Nation".

For the record, what appears to be Nazi iconography is actually a satire on the totalitarian communist regime that the band members grew up under. The group formed in 1980's Yugoslavia and now lives in their native Slovenia (Laibach is the capital of Slovenia).
