Really, industrial music appeals, for the most part, to a very select audience, of which I am part. So I am counting down my favorite industrial songs. We are at #6 in the series: "Vera Blue" by Chemlab.
Led by Jared Louche, Chemlab wasn't around very long (they only made three studio albums,) but they were a GREAT industrial band.
From their 1996 album, East Side Militia, "Vera Blue (96/69)" is pretty tame by industrial standards, but what a great tune!
The story goes that "Vera" is actually a real woman, a gun running prostitute that the band knew. Louche was known for occasionally making up words to better express himself, and in this case, that word is "endicon," as in "She's the endicon girl."
Honestly, I just as easily could have went with anything from their debut album, Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar, or East Side Militia's "Exile on Mainline" (a profanity-laden soundbite kept me from linking that,) but it simply comes down to the fact that I listen to "Vera Blue" the most.
As I said, for industrial music, this is pretty listener-friendly. Enjoy!

You're right, quite tame. BTW, have you heard Jared Louche & the Aliens' version of Sinatra's "The Summer Wind"?

@FourWalls - Wow, I really like that. That is definitely not "Exile on Mainline."
Thank you for the link!

@teamfreak16 - Oh! You're another one who uses their phone. My daughter gave my other daughter a phone to use for her activities. I let her borrow my laptop sometimes. I feel bad for her looking at that small screen on her phone. 
Yesterday she was using my laptop and my other daughter let me use her tablet. I was visiting MyLot but I think I just prefer to watch movies and TV shows on the tablet.

@cmoneyspinner - I'm so used to using the phone that it feels weird if I use a laptop or something.

Yeah, Chemlab isn't exactly a household name.
