The movie 'The Hunger' was a very strange (and slightly disturbing) 
horror show.  Very powerful but subtle scenes kept the audience 
interested (mostly at the edge of their seats).  The first part of the
show set the pace and tone for the rest of it, in the opening scene 
there are three things happanening (constant cuts to a different scene):

(1) David Bowie and (what was her name???) pick up a couple (of victims)

(2) Two monkeys in a cage get a little agravated and one tears the other
    apart.

(3) The group at the bar play a tune with a very heavy base line and 
    mostly indistinguishable lyrics (apart from a key phrase 'UNDEAD,
    UNDEAD, UNDEAD').

The song I found the most interesting, every time I saw the movie I 
tried to figure out what those mysterious other lyrics were.  I gave 
up after a while (you can only see a movie so many times, even on VCR)
but the other day radio came to the rescue and I now know what the words
are but don't know who does it or where I can get it (ie. is it an import).
If you thought it was a contrived tune, think again it's about Bela Lugosi!

     
     White on white,
     Translucent black capes, back on the rack.
       
     Bela Lugosi's dead.
       
     The bats have left the bell tower .
     The victims have been bled.
     Red velvet lines the black box.

     Undead, undead, undead
      
     The virginal brides file past his tomb.
     Soon will times dear flowers be wrapped in deathly gloom.
     Alone in a darkened room..
     		THE COUNT.
