Life is life

I'm feeling lazy, but I want to post. Here's what I'll do: a comparison of a cheezzzz ball song and its brilliant retooling at the hands of a group of Slovenian geniuses. First, here's the Austrian band Opus, with their 1985 (s)hit "Live is life":



I like how the thugs go in to kick some ass, but then are overcome with the "awesomeness" of the band and their music. Yes, that was pretty crappy. Next is "Life is life", so titled because that's what the lyrics were in the first place. The cheese has been restructured and refitted to become a work of genius by the Slovenian art collective called Laibach. Lo! Behold Majesty!



You can find this track on Laibach's album "Opus Dei".

Cheeseballs, oh my! The second one seems like a redux highlander gone foully awry.
