Panzerballett - Ein bischen Frieden



I love this cover because of the eerie feeling they give to this classic german schlager.

The whole album has weird covers.

David Lindley covering "Twist & Shout" (best version of this song ever): These guys also did a truly ODD cover of Prince's "When Doves Cry," as a hidden track on this same cd. Yeah, buy yourself a copy of their cd "Hello Love." It's sooooo good....
