Jessica Lange covered Lana Del Rey on Wednesday's "American Horror Story: Freak Show," and, as expected, it was the highlight of the episode.
"AHS" creator Ryan Murphy teased that Lange would perform a Del Rey song on "Freak Show" last month. A leak of the video earlier this week revealed that the song would be "Gods & Monsters" from Del Rey's "Paradise" EP. On the first part of the season's Halloween episode, Lange's character, Elsa Mars, performed a spooky rendition of the song -- boa, eerie green smoke and Wes Bentley's two-faced Edward Mordrake included.
The official track is available for download on iTunes, along with the season's other musical covers of "Life on Mars" and "Criminal." Maybe in next week's episode Mordrake will cover a Kurt Cobain song before he takes a "freak" back to hell with him -- we just hope there's a plastic bag involved.
