While Cohen and Buckley undeniably performed iconic versions of this song, The Chemical Wartet have finally unleashed its full potential as a work of musical genius. This is the definitive cover version, and the one which will stand the test of time.

You look like the musical support act for an autoerotic asphyxiation appreciation night.

And I love the way you're recognisable through the clear plastic by way of the stripey shirt :)

just because you're prepared for a nuclear, biological or chemical attack, does NOT mean you should let your standards of dress slip.

Cardigans are crap compared to Anoraks when it comes to nuclear fallout.

Couldn't put my finger on it. Turns out all the X Factor version needed to not be a stinking pile of tripe was a ukulele.
Maybe some talent too.
Either way, I must clicky this numerous times, even if I know such multiple offences are futile.

And very odd - I have just this second put down a ukulele having learnt my very first song on it, which was Hallelujah. Although I didn't have a gasmask on which makes me feel fairly amateurish.
Good work sir
