It's a little on-the-nose for a show about a powerful chair to use the song "Sit Down" in a trailer,Watch Vacances A Ibiza (1982) but that's what Game of Thronesdid to us with the latest taste of Season 7.
The song, by British rock outfit James, plays over slow-motion footage of Cersei (Lena Headey), Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), and Jon (Kit Harington) seating themselves in turn at the Iron Throne.

It does soundlike a cover, but HBO confirmed that it is an echoey, eerie version of the original.
"Having read the books, and watched the series twice, I was very excited when Game Of Thronesasked to use 'Sit Down' for their preview," Booth said in a statement. "I think the last two songs used were 'Heroes' and 'Wicked Game' -- so we are in great company. We thought they would make their own version, to suit the landscape of the series, but apparently, they were attached to the original."
