It's the Dead, what's not to like? I know the song well enough but didn't know the hook, so that pretty much qualifies it for the main page. Cited to an offline source to have to AGF that. No obvious copyvios or any other concerns. The main hook is the most informative but for "punchiness" I'd go with ALT3. I'll leave that up for whoever moves it to prep / queue.
