Inclusion in Rock Band

In 2007, this song was included in the Harmonix music video game Rock Band, exposing Coheed and Cambria to a considerably wider audience. However, the words "whore" and "fucking" were edited to "wolf" and "mucking" respectively.[6] The conclusion of the song was also edited, replacing the fade-out and the strings with a short guitar solo as the player earns the ending bonus points.

gollark: With my *phone*, it certainly isn't easy but I think you can, with somewhat specialized screwdrivers or whatever, swap out the display and battery without paying too much. Though it's old so honestly it might be cheaper to just buy a new used phone.
