There is Only One “War Pigs”

I was coming back to the office after lunch with some coworkers, and we parked next to a car in which there were two people. In the driver’s seat was a woman smoking a cigarette and singing along to “War Pigs,” the Sabbath version (as if there were any other).

“But, no!” you say. “Have you heard Faith No More’s version on their 1989 album ‘The Real Thing?’ Mike Patton’s freshman effort as a frontman for the San Francisco experimental rock group was impressive, to say the least, and their cover of “War Pigs” is a surprising little gem laced with funk, jazz . . . ”

You know what? Just shut up. You’re wrong and you know you are.

The gentleman in the back seat was drinking a beer. Rock on with your badass parking lot music festival.
