    I remember this video as a 3 year old on RAGE in Australia, legit was mind blowing graphics back then and made me delve into the world of computers and video games. Thanks Hocus Pocus!

    Until the day I watched The Shining a few years ago I never actually knew that was Jack Nicholson's voice saying 'Here's Johnny!' I thought it was just used for this tune! Still a great classic but!
