Day 8. Another one from The Matrix, Dragula by Rob Zombie was another Alternative night classic at the kind of nightclubs I used to frequent in my teenage years. The version used in The Matrix was the Rod Herman remix but for the video I have opted for the original version, not least because it has a really good video. I also failed to find the remix on Spotify, so the original version will be on the SPotify playlist too. I’ll include the remix YouTube link here.
The remix adds layers of electronic production to the track which nicely brings the song in line with the late ’90’s cyberpunk visions of The Matrix. I’m not sure but I also think our local Alternative Rock DJ’s played this version too, presumably The Matrix OST was a useful CD for any Alt/Rock DJ to own.
Superstition, fear and jealousy
Dead I am the one, exterminating son
Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry
While they slowly turn, conquering the wormDig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool
Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur, dying as you purrDig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
Burn like an animalDead I am the life, dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone, twenty one to win
Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back, I can never dieDig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
Burn like an animalDig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!
