Indian Reservation
was a hit for
Don Fardon in the 1960's and later a No1 US hit for
Paul
Revere And The Raiders. Laibach switch the subject of oppression from
the US Cherokee Indians to the peoples of Eastern Europe. Perhaps the
underlying implication is that it is the same oppressor, namely US
cultural imperialism. Instead of Ivan Milan's gravel tones we are treated to the rich
deep voice of
Vasja Ulrih.
I could not find an original video of Don
Fardon performing the song so here is a video of the
Orlando Riva Sound
performing their disco version of 'Indian Reservation' in 1979.
