	Rock Paper Scissors - Rachid Taha, Tékitoi (Wrasse) - Combat Rocker
		"Helter Skelter" was the Beatles' most ferocious tune, and the fact that the lyrics concerned a slide in a children's playground didn't stop psycho Nazi hippie pseudo-guru Charles Manson and his murderous "family" from adopting it as their anthem.
		While "Rock the Casbah" is not to be mistaken for an explicitly anti-war song, its "liberation" by the Yanks was "just typical and despicable," in the late Clash frontman Joe Strummer's estimation.

		That was always something growing up that was very sad and tragic to me, a song that I always identified with." Manson also said that he related well to The Beatles because the song "Helter Skelter" figured into killings associated with his namesake, Charles Manson.

		The producers then decided that composer Mark Snow would bring the right amount of menace and foreboding into the project, at which he has succeeded in the past with the television series "The X-Files" and "Millenium".
		By opening with a new version of the classic Beatles tune, "Helter Skelter" this new revisiting of the cruel, infamous bloody events of the Charles Manson murders retains its ties to the original TV movie Helter Skelter and the period of time in which the actual events occurred.
		The song "Helter Skelter" is reprised again later, which then leads to the penultimate track, which again is dominated by the murky synth tones with some extra assistance from the solo female vocalist.
