Acoustic Edition of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”"
by Joe on March 20,
Office 2007 Enterprise, 2011
Check out this acoustic edition of the classic War Pigs,
Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010, performed by one Savannah King. A solid rendition, and nothing too fancy, but it’s her vocals that really stand out. More than simply changing the emotional content by lending a softer touch to a pretty aggressive tune (The Dresden Dolls’ version,
Office Professional, also featuring a female vocalist, is even angrier than the original), Savannah’s voice has a slightly throaty quality to it which recalls – dare I say it – Sarah McLachlan. This is particularly evident during the verses that begin at 1:43, and transforms the tone from one of confrontation to one closer to lamentation. Which is some good interpretive work – though it was originally written as a protest song during the Vietnam era, by now most of us feel more or less like Savannah does: this is, sadly,
Windows 7 License, just the way things are.
