Polish death metal band covers "How Do You Do!"

WROCLAW, Poland - In what many Roxette fans are sure to consider the worst cover of a Roxette song ever, the Polish heavy metal band Elysium has covered Roxette's "How Do You Do!," renaming it "How Do You Die."

Their cover song, which appears as a "hidden track" on their last album, starts off with about a 15 second clip of the original version (you hear Per's voice) followed by their death metal approach. There are incoherrent voices and references to death, murder and knives and a few more short samples of the original.

Last month, The Metal Observer reviewed Elysium's album from 2004 entitled "Deadline." In the mixed review, they wrote "even the re-lyricized ROXETTE cover "How Do You Die" ... does not save much anymore."
