Worlock is a single by the band Skinny Puppy from the album Rabies.[2] The song uses a sample of the guitars in "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles, as well as a vocal sample of Charles Manson singing the song.[3] Vocalist Nivek Ogre considered it one of the band's better songs.[4][5][6]
A mispressed CD release exists that contained Sinéad O'Connor's "The Emperor's New Clothes."[2]
