I didn't know people actually listened to his music. I assumed we all settled he's cooler as David Bowie's bodyguard.

I'd have to say "Rubberband Lazer" or "Lightening Strikes".

He's hilarious.

They used to play this song on AOL Radio's gothic station. This looks like the most interesting video version on YT.

A good song, but I much prefer watching him perform it live as opposed to a slideshow of rather cliche goth imagery.

Klaus' rendition of 'Dido's Lament' by Purcell is incredible and is invested with so much skill and emotion that it puts many other true operatic sopranos to shame. For a more upbeat piece, 'Total Eclipse' is rather catchy and again displays Klaus' impressive vocal abilities.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead is by far my favorite.
