My friend Evan, who regularly teaches me how to suck less at playing the piano, played me this thing his friend did in college. It is amazing.

It’s Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” performed in the style of the early Beatles.

Listen to it and love it.

      I have something kinda like this, except it's Closer by Nine Inch Nails, mashed up with Come Together by the Beatles. Thus resulting in such fun lines as “I wanna fuck you OVER ME!”

      I happen to be that friend. I was not aware of this thing's viral possibilities. I was going to do a whole series of songs like this. Songs by other artists I thought were “beatle-worthy”

      You should. You definitely should.

      Also, this needs a music video with the ever-present background noise of screaming girls.

      1964 beatle wouldn't have used the word “Fuck” or the other censored words of that decade.

      I wanna help you like an animal
      I wanna feel you from the inside
      I wanna help you like an animal
      My whole existence is flawed
