Not at all a MM fan.. but out of curiosity decided to check out the tune.  It's 
really not that musch different than DM's version.  MM's version seems much 
louder on the intruments and the lyrics get buried in the background.  What is 
the perversion that you mean?  There are some extra sound effects, but I don't 
notice the push of the envelop that you mean.

BUT.. for a completely different spin on the song, you should check out Johnny 
Cash's verion.  I think that one is the best.
