What do y'all know bout this guy?

Saw this on Wikipedia:

Giorgio Moroder cited "The Cold Song" as his inspiration for "Tony's Theme" from the movie Scarface.

So I listened to this:

Almost cried. What a song!

 Björk meets Robert Smith meets Marilyn Manson meets Mr Freeze

Theres 3:55 I'll never forget

Opera?

Kind of. Some of you had to have been around this guy. Anyone?

My friend had his album/video collection.  I recall covers of You Don't Own Me and Ding! Dong! The Witch Is Dead!

 

Pretty sure he did SNL once or twice, as well.
