Not everybody has been crazy about the idea of an American remake of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (David Fincher or not), but everybody's been going crazy over this cover of Led Zeppelin's IMMIGRANT SONG by the Reznor/Ross duo, featuring vocals by Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Reznor is really reinventing himself with this soundtrack gig. His music is highly visual. Here it is for you, to kick start your Sunday morning. Notice how I left the "Ahs" and the "Ohs" out of the lyrics.
Oh and here's a real life Jean-Claude Van Damme moment that happened yesterday, to complement your enjoyment of this song.

Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Karen O - IMMIGRANT SONG
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
to fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
to fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
