Garland Jeffreys original Wild In The Streets from 1973 -

SCRAWL - Good Times (1995)
cover of CHIC's 1979 US #1 (one of the best songs ever IMO)

(after unwisely choosing same name as the Kentucky band who

amazing how the lyrics of a throw away Euro pop hit adapt into a totalitarian anthem !
the documentary about their visit to North Korea was to me really more
of an insight to what LAIBACH are like behind the image.
their version of 'Across The Universe' similarly obliterates the self satisfied Lennon lyrics.

Ah now, Across the Universe is one of the best songs Lennon ever did, it's full of ambiguity - you can read it as self satisfied, or drugged up, or blissed out, or miserable, or totalitarian, or even apocalyptic. I think he overegged the same idea when he wrote Imagine.
 
Maybe?

Sorry but Rufus Wainwright's cover of Across the Universe put me off the song forever (was used on a TV advert).

Stunning. heard this a few years ago when this 7" went for huge money on discogs.
