This shoegaze song will surprise you.

It's Faye Wong covering the Cocteau Twins' "Serpentskirt".

Faye Wong is a Cantopop superstar, and is famous for starring in the Chongqing Express and singing the theme song for Final Fantasy VIII.

But here, not only did she sing "Serpentskirt", the Cocteau Twins were her backing band! Liz even sang back-up for her!

What's even more amazing is that Faye Wong did an entire album of Cocteau Twins tunes.

IMO, this may have been the catalyst for Asian shoegaze, which remains important to this day.
