When you think of classic horror movies, you inevitably think of a few that stand out; Psycho, TCM, Dracula..and the Exorcist.
And when you think of the Exorcist, you inevitably think of a few things; the head spinning, the pea soup vomit, "your mother sucks cocks in Hell"...and the music.
The record that the music was lifted from, "Tubular Bells" of course, is one of the best selling of all time, and the guy behind it, the ridiculously talented Mike Oldfield, is one of the best known and respected prog rock musicians of all time.
Now you may have seen the words "prog rock" and began running in the opposite direction in terror, but fear not. This isn't a 14 minute epic ode to Merlin with 100 guitar solo's thrown in, it's actually a perfect, fucking PERFECT, pop song. A top ten hit in 1983 in the UK, it's now pretty much forgotten. Let's try and rectify that. The video is perhaps the most 80's thing ever.
