Bela Lugois’s Dead – Bauhaus 《贝拉·路高西已死》——包豪斯
包豪斯是一只1978年组建的英国乐队，“其可以说是歌特摇滚的教父级乐队，他们以刺耳的吉他和弦和冰冷飘渺的合成器创造了后朋克摇滚中简约主义的、孤高阴暗的代表性风格。”——引自百度百科
Bela Lugois，1882年出生于奥匈帝国，演过舞台剧，后到美国成为了恐怖电影演员。曾因出演《德库拉伯爵》而声名鹊起，被称赞为“电影表现主义的真诚实践者”，“路高西演德古拉如此有气势，形象如此持久，就是因为他们之间没有距离——他就是德古拉”。可以说，路高西是那个年代哥特式电影的最杰出的演绎者之一。包豪斯乐队的这首歌被称为哥特摇滚谜心中的“圣经”，在继承那个时代实验性音乐精神的同时亦是对路高西的一种致敬。
歌词：
White on white
白上之白
【注：《白上之白》（或为《白上白》为至上主义创始人马列维奇的著名画作）。至上主义主张消除抽象符号与现实的割裂，方式将多余的颜色、形象、曲线等要素抽离，将一切空间化、平面化和几何化，留下最基本元素。因此作品最后呈现的形态多是几何状，黑白色极简的样子。“至上主义 即:否定了绘画中的主题、物象、内容、空间之后，简化成为了最终极的几何形态表现，人们的意识在接近于零的内容之中，在绘画的黑色、白色静默之中被表现出来。”（引自李友友. 马列维奇的至上主义绘画 [J]，俄罗斯文艺，2011（03）：131页）。马列维奇的至上主义对包豪斯学派多有影响，乐队这里显然在致敬马列维奇】
