Korn's smash hit Freak On A Leash has been given a swing makeover

Robyn Adele Anderson

It's been quite the week for Korn on the internet. On Monday we had a guy playing Korn songs with literal pieces of corn, and now we've got a swing version of their angst-ridden anthem Freak On A Leash.

Singer Robyn Adele Anderson has reimagined the 1999 single (taken from 1998's Follow The Leader) as something much less venomous and aggressive than the original – but still with some trademark scatting. 

With a full band of keyboards, double bass, drums and a brass section, this is like no version of Freak On A Leash we've heard before. Although it does remind us of Richard Cheese quite a lot.
