Chumbawamba's 'El Fusilado' (cover)

Guitar version of the wonderful acapella song from 'The Boy Bands Have Won'.

'El Fusilado' means 'The Executed One'. In 1915, Wenseslao Moguel, of Merida, Yucatan, was shot 9 times by a firing squad - including the "coup de grace" (a final bullet shot through the head at close range by an officer after the execution to insure death) - yet recovered. Although horribly scarred, Wenseslao lived for many years after his "execution", appearing on Ripley's radio show on July 16, 1937 and at Ripley's Cleveland Odditorium later the same year.

Haha Great job man :) I love this song and you just made me love it more!

@WazzuliofRunetotem Marvellous! The original sounds so good as an acapella that I messed around for a while with different types of accompaniment, wondering if it was possible to do so and add to the song rather than detract from it. So I'm glad it works for you. Cheers!
