666 ( White Zombie - More Human Than Human )

Astro-Creep: 2000 cover

My 666th song choice, I guessed that I needed a fitting song for the ominous pick. There were many songs that would fit this pick, but this one fit best for me; this is an excellent song that I would have added to my list anyway. Of course I love that the song makes references to the film Blade Runner, which is a favorite Sci-Fi movie of mine.
This number in pop culture has been referred to as the devil's number or somehow is connected to Satan and/or Hell, however, the Number of the Beast is actually the number of a man. From Book of Revelation 13:18: "Here is the wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
With it being the number of a man, I could not think of a better song than More Human Than Human.
Oddly enough some recent discoveries have been found and point out that the original text might have been mistranslated and/or misinterpreted and the Number of the Beast is really 616; it just does not have the ring to it or the hypnotic effect that three repeating Arabic numerals have.

Here is the music video.
Here is a live performance from the David Letterman show.
Here is another fantastic live performance from the MTV music awards.
