[MUSIC] Skunk Anansie, "Selling Jesus"

[rfmcdpei]

I only ever heard British rock band Skunk Anansie's 1995 song "Selling Jesus" because I happened to buy the movie Strange Days's enjoyable soundtrack album. Notable career though the band might have had, I'm still into it only for this song.

Yes! One of my favourite tracks in the world which I also got through the Strange Days soundtrack. I never looked up the lyrics and thought she was singing:

"You're givin' money to the white man in the white man's malls"

This is a classic example of why you shouldn't change the stress of a word in a lyric. It's not "liMO", it's "LImo".

I adore how the song is both hardcore and elegiac with the choral vocals towards the end.
