Rigor Tortoise – Personal Batman (Depeche Mode “Personal Jesus” parody)

A fantastic and funny cover version of ‘Personal Jesus’ by Rigor Tortoise called ‘Personal Batman’. I don’t think there’s much need to explain this cover version, right? Unfortunately, it’s only available on YouTube. It would be amazing if this song will find its way to Spotify. Written and sung by Greg Castle, directed, filmed and edited by Behn Fannin.

Lyrics of “Rigor Tortoise – Personal Batman”

Reach out and touch capes

Your own personal Batman
Someone to hear your cries
Someone who flies
Your own personal Batman
Someone to feel your kiss
Who talks like this

Feeling afraid, that your hearts been played
All alone by the red Bat-phone
Lookin so mysterious
So why so serious?

Signal the Bat – I’ll be where you’re at
I avenged my parents’ death
Now I’m DTF
I like sex with theatrics
But please no cat chicks

Seek out the Bat-cave
Look out for Two-Face

Your own personal Batman
Someone who drives fast cars
Someone with scars
Your own personal Batman
A hero to feel your pain
I’m not Bruce Wayne

Reach out and touch capes

Behind the cowl, I am on the prowl
Would you like to swing
On a mile-high Bat-Wing?
No lover is greater
than the caped crusader
Friend of the police
with a kevlar codpiece

Unhook bras with my batarang
Break out the back-brace
Created by Bob Kane

Na na na na na na na na Batman
Na na na na na na na na Batman

I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984.

I took over the depechemodecovers.com website in 2024 and relaunched it. As a big fan of Depeche Mode and cover versions, I dedicate myself passionately to this project.
