I'm a Mummy - The Fall

In the absence of an official video with a bandage-clad Mark E Smith chasing people around, here's the best track from the Levitate album with footage from The Mummy (1932) and The Mummy's Curse (1944), featuring horror legends Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney Jr. And MES, obviously ;)

I am told there was a nightclub in my town called Pharaohs which closed years ago where people would dance around dressed as mummys......a strange bunch.

I pissed myself laughing at your suggestion of MES as a mummy. Wonderful image, Great song too.

@coptersoisoi it's definitely post punk, post punk means that it's basically a genre of rock but it's not punk... later around 10 years later their music would be considered an influence to a punk rock group and if the band influenced a punk rock group thats post punk. It's like alt. rock I think.

Is this white rap? it's not post punk and it's not "dark wave" and its not mod or garage punk. I think Mark is a Rapper :P
