"Spirit in the Sky" by Bauhaus

 


One of the most successful one-hit wonders of all time is "Spirit in the Sky," a 1969 gospel song written by Orthodox Jew Norman Greenbaum.

In 1983, the song was revamped by Northampton goth rock powerhouse Bauhaus.

This version isn't exactly my cup of tea... mainly because I don't believe that it's tea at all, but actually mesh bags filled with pine needles steeped in lemur urine.
