Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]You know, as weird as people claim that Marilyn Manson is... And lets be honest here... This dude is pretty out there, I have to admit that his music is pretty awesome! I mean he takes metal to a whole new level, making it that borderline scary type of metal that I believe mostly only true goths really enjoy...
And you know what? His cover song for his 1995 EP, 'Sweet Dreams' was pretty much that level of awesomeness!
A remake of the classic 1980s song by the, 'Eurythmics', Marilyn Manson's song took the Eurythmics classic synthpop/new wave song and gave it the horror movie revamp!
What I mean by this is that generally speaking the Eurythmics song was fun, and I imagine it could translate pretty well in to the soundtracks of certain Science Fiction movies of the 1980s... Marilyn Manson did that, but for Horror... As a matter of fact, I would say that this song could be a universally fun song to add to most horror movie soundtracks... As a matter of fact this song can already be heard in such horror movies as, Trick 'r Treat (2007), House On Haunted Hill (1999) and in the trailer for the Sci-fi/Fantasy movie, Wrath Of The Titans (2012)! And as for the small screen it can be heard in the pilot episode of Fox's hit TV series, 'The Following'!

Marilyn Manson doing, 'Sweet Dreams' live in 2003![/caption]The only problem with this song is that while it is definitely a fun one, it is also one of those songs that takes a certain type to listen to it and enjoy it... Basically it doesn't translate well to fans of other musical genres...
