Not at all a MM fan.. but out of curiosity decided to check out the tune. 
It's really not that musch different than DM's version.  MM's version seems
much louder on the intruments and the lyrics get buried in the background. 
What is the perversion that you mean?  There are some extra sound effects,
but I don't notice the push of the envelop that you mean.

BUT.. for a completely different spin on the song, you should check out
Johnny Cash's verion.  I think that one is the best.
