Got it Covered: Down in the Park


Original video located here. Accessed 29th August 2021

Song title: Down in the Park

Artist: Foo Fighters

Originally Done By: Gary Numan

Year: 1996

Why I like this song:

I have enjoyed some of the songs the Foo Fighters have done over the years (ie Big Me, Best of You, Learn to Fly) but here I have opted for a cover.

I have heard and liked the Gary Numan original - largely for it's eeriness - but this cover is interesting because it sounds more menacing. It must be in the guitars. Also the build-up through the song is pretty sweet.

In any case, whenever I play X-COM, i imagine this playing when my soldiers enter the battlefield...
