Smoke on the Water as you've never heard it before

Until recently, Germany's defense minister has been one Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, a handsome 39-year-old aristocrat with a fondness for rock. However, scandal drove him out of office.

That, or he just buckled under the weight of his actual full name, which is: Karl Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg. I kid you not.

What music did Guttenberg request for his military send-off? That would be "Smoke on the Water." The band had two days to prepare, and did a pretty impressive job. Check it out.
