Here's the song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6uADPVzXFU Listen to the lyrics carefully! Enjoy!
Faust and the Faustian are at the heart of Clark's motto, "Challenge Convention, Change the World." We're interested in how this fifteenth-century, small-town German necromancy caught the attention of so many writers, artists, and musicians, including Marlowe, Goethe, Bulgakov, Mann, Havel, Liszt and Gounod.

Such a classic song! I think my favorite version is probably the one done by the 90s alt-metal band Primus, but the original Charlie Daniels Band is a classic!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to bring this song up in class...it's one of my favorite versions of the Faustian bargain. It's interesting to note that the deal here is actually a bet, which the Faust character wins (like in Goethe's version).
