Brains!

"Brains!", stylised as "BRAINS!",[1] is a song by the dark cabaret artist Voltaire. It has been described as having a 1940s swing sound, which is in contrast to the much more European folk sound of many of Voltaire's older songs.[2] It was written for an episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
