Hey, now, hey now now, sing this corrosion for me...

A couple of Gypsycons ago, we had a fun time playing Gother Than Thou, a card game which mercilessly takes the piss out of goth subculture. Along with cards like 'Fun With Eyeliner', 'Pet named Hecate' and 'Visit from Mum', there's one called "Sing This Corrosion for Me" - worth Goth Points if you can sing it, negative Goth Points if you can't. None of us could (One individual who shall remain nameless tried singing it to the tune of 'Happy Birthday to You")

Eventually, curiosity got the better of me, and I obtained The Sisters of Mercy greatest hits, containing the said song.

Now I've got the tune stuck in my head and it won't go away. Arrrrggghh!!!

At least it's not Rod Stewart's "D'ya think I'm sexy"....

Ümläüt will have to cover this song, I can tell. With spooky flanged electric violin replacing Jim Steinman's choir.
