I think they are singing "this monk has gone to heaven." It's gotta be a play on words either way.

Always a great contribution. And always loved the obvious Lou Reed-style vocals.

arguably the most pop. I'd vote for Here Comes Your Man, though as poppier |

Song reminds me on the recent disaster in Japan, and makes me wondering what is man's place in the Universe?

This song is at least 20 years old, hardly a new "offering". The members of the band have gone on to quite successful careers. |

Despite the screeching, this song grows on me more every time I hear it. 7>8

I had an odd dream last night that I had to listen to this song, and that I didn't enjoy it as much as I usually do. It's like a dream come true!

I bought this album from eBay, surely one of the best music recordings ever. Kim Deal has dealt some of the best basslines in music history.
