The Gories - There But For The Grace Of God Go I

in music •  8 years ago  (edited)

This music video is raw as hell and so is the sound. The Gories just picked a random trashed spot in Detroit to shoot with a VHS home video camera. The song is a cover of a disco tune of the same name by Machine and the disco energy was perfectly transformed into this garage punk sound.

The original cut by Machine had the lyrics "Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away, with no blacks, no Jews and no gays." The radio edit saw the line changed to "Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away, where all the upper-class people stay" and the Gories used it. I think the line flows way better and there's less potential for confused controversy.
