This Song Rocks: Joker


Original video located here. Accessed 17th August 2020

Song title: Joker

Artist: Soulsavers

Year: 2015

Why I like this song:

Lately I've been listening to the Soulsavers album Kubrick.
Now this was high concept: An album where every song is about a character from a movie by director Stanley Kubrick. This one being about Joker from Full Metal Jacket. 
Needless to say, the film geek in me was already keen. And as it happens, the songs were well produced and inventive.
But does it live up to it's ambitious concept? Well it's an interpretation of someone else's work yes and it certainly is effective but does it succeed? I guess that's a matter of perspective...
