Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this song pumping through your car when it’s just you is the unarguable honesty and urgency in Johnston’s voice. If you totally can’t duck this song whilst driving alone at 3 a.m., make a serious effort to miss the last 20 or so seconds when he positively sobs, “SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!” It’s impossible to drive with a settled stomach after that.

“The End” by Nico

Originally a Doors tune, Nico stretched the song to a whopping nine-plus-minute epic. It details a really dismal, nightmarish apocalypse (so it makes sense that it was used in the “Apocalypse Now” film score) and some guy murdering his dad and raping his mom. Cheerful, right? This German model-person really nails the sinister air of it during her legendary June 1, 1974 performance (from her album “June 1st, 1974” with Kevin Ayers, Brian Eno and John Cale) with her ethereal, brooding vocals and suggestive harmonium. Apparently Doors fans totally hate this cover, but it really is quite good under any other circumstances than the previously mentioned one.
