Wikipedia article
'Worlock' is a single by the band Skinny Puppy from the album 'Rabies'. The song uses a sample of the guitars in "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles, as well as a vocal sample of Charles Manson singing the song. Vocalist Nivek Ogre considered it one of the band's better songs.
A mispressed CD release exists that contained Sinad O'Connor's "The Emperor's New Clothes."
