Spankthenun covers KMFDM classic ‘Virus’
Spankthenun have recorded a cover of the KMFDM classic “Virus”. The single holds 4 tracks including the normal edit, a Covid version, a 90s Hip Hop Beat and an instrumental version.
The normal version is very true to the original with some updated sounds and production that pumps new life into an older track. The band has taken the liberty of updating the lyrics in the Covid version. While the original lyrics place the theme in the late 80s and comment on the sexually transmitted diseases of the time, the updated version references directly to the Covid pandemic with lyrics like “Keep six feet away or you’ll die!” and “It’s gonna come back for a year or longer, you ignored the truth and made it stronger.”
Here’s the single, enjoy!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
