Type O Negative

A recent guilty music pleasure: Type O Negative.  Tongue and cheek metal.   They do absolutely exquisite, I-feel-dirty-all-over covers of Summer Breeze, Cinnamon Girl, and Hey Joe (Pete).  Many years ago Summer Breeze actually became a summer song for me.  Someone's mixed tape had the Isley Brothers version.  It's a sick song--"When I come home from a hard day's work/And you're waiting waiting waiting waiting there, yes you're waiting there/Without a care in the world"--but was great for ironic fun.
