The Musical Interlude...

And a (probably brief) return of "This? Or That?"...

So, here goes for the first one...

This: "Land Of Confusion" by Genesis...

That: "Land Of Confusion" by Disturbed...

My verdict? Song, I prefer that... Video, it's a hard choice, but Genesis' one is a classic, so this...
