Vendetta

Like Peter Griffin in Family Guy, I too sometimes wish I had my own theme music, only mine would be the Fantômas cover of the 1960's TV series, "Vendetta".  John Barry, composer of the "Midnight Cowboy" theme discussed earlier, also wrote this score.  You can find "Vendetta" among the other unusual covers on both The Director's Cut album and DVD of the same name.

I was going to post the pro-shot from Sydney's "Big Day Out" festival for this song, as it's one of my favorites, but then came across this great one, recorded in London in December 2008 (a few short weeks after this, on New Year's Eve, is when they would record the live show for their DVD in San Francisco).  Dale Crover is still sitting in for Lombardo on drums here, and Patton has his usual repartee with the crowd before starting things up.
