Despite my foray into Mountain Goats-related satire http://largeheartedgoat.com I've never really gotten into them as a band. That said, I love this cover. I get a kick out of how it makes Thin Lizzy's "all-american" style seem spooky and dark and the lyrical content really creepy (especially the Dino's section: "the drink will flow and the blood will spill" and the little "the boys are back" backing whisper). Plus doing the bridge in high 'nerdy white-guy' rap style at the end is a great topper.
