Oh Kathleen - THANK YOU! A mate at college and I were racking our brains trying to remember who sang the original! Dunno why we just didn't use the net actually...

I was listening to the one on the 3-disc live complilation I keep forcing everyone to listen to it, it tricks everyone into thinking some sorta ballad is about to follow then BAM! WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?!
