| has gloss | eng: "Heroin" is single by Billy Idol, released to promote his 1993 album Cyberpunk. The song is a cover of a song by The Velvet Underground, originally released on their 1967 debut album. Early incarnations of Heroin used acoustic instruments or other mainstream conventions of rock music. Billy Idols cover departed from these, interpreting the song as a fast-tempo, dance mix, which made use of sound clips and techno beats. It also included the lyric "Jesus died for somebodys sins / But not mine", from "Gloria" written by Patti Smith, used under license from Linda Music Corporation. |
