It's probably the most outlandish way he can think of to mourn Dita's absence, now that he can't "hold hands through hell" with her anymore.

... Evan Rachel Wood will never be half the woman Dita von Teese is.

@chrisb:

And who can forget BiGod 20's classic cover of "Like a Prayer"? It was sincere, too.

And not only did MM start off with "Sweet Dreams," but his last attempt at career reclamation was a horrible industrial slow-jam cover of "Tainted Love" for a teen movie parody.

(Okay, so the former is a happy childhood memory, and the latter I remember because of the nightmares.)

@chrisb: If I'm not mistaken Sonic Youth aka Ciccone Youth was the first to do that Madonna trick...

Poor Marilyn Manson-still trying to outrage people with other people's old ideas...

Eh, this is nothing earth-shattering. It's from Jo Whiley's Live Lounge program, whose raison d'etre seems to be "ironic" covers by the guests, like the Sugababes doing Hard-Fi and Franz Ferdinand covering Gwen Stefani.

It's a well established trend for MM himself, considering the first song that got him airplay was his "sweet dreams" cover.

Agreed. This is a well established trend, even in his own genre. Both Frontline Assembly and KMFDM have covered Madonna.

I'll give him this much: I would have expected him to do "My Love" instead.

Wait 'til I drop my cover of "Mac 10 Handle" done in the style of Shellac (Andrew Bird remix)!
