I'll take 'Trendy 20 years ago' for one thousand, Alex.

/Watch. They'll be covering REM by this time next year.

I can't find a link to this video...my searchfu is weak this morning.

/and it's almost 40 years since Deep Purple recorded this song. 1971 according to wikipedia.

Here's a sample of their singing. It's very beautiful music.

Now, if they'd only name the album "Abbey Road".

People still become monks? What a world.

TFA associated them via record label with Amy Winehouse. That is the funniest mental picture I've had in a while. Maybe it takes that much holiness to intervene on/exorcise her?

Now if this Monk had to deal with Winehouse, much hilarity would ensue.

Benzedrine Monks of Santa DoMonica are not amused.

I came here expecting to find an actual video of monks singing Smoke on the Water, and am leaving disappointed.

/Yes, I know it was a joke

I like how Universal is going after this market because Halo had some monks chant in it.

Hopefully next year after GTA IV comes out, we can get some inner city kids scholarships for their leet carjacking skills.

"Ooedo no Hikeshi".

Not what's in the main story, but still worth seeing.

That's pretty wild! Funny that the audience was laughing when they first recognized it... they weren't expecting it either.
