Sorry about the left turn, but this performance is worth the listen (I promise). It's all about the interludes. Don't miss one, esp. the flute at 3:00. P.S. cocaine is a hell of a drug.
True. But that song is 3rd person and ends with the pitfalls of date rape. Namely, getting butt raped by a large inmate. Also, a great song.
I'll see your 14 and raise you "Rock Queen Thirteen" by Love/Hate. No video, but here are the lyrics. Love the song, but... yikes! https://genius.com/Love-hate-rock-queen-lyrics
Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer", NiN's "Closer" (that poor monkey!) and Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" would be in that discussion for sure!
If you've never heard it, Helloween (German speed metal band) does an absolutely fantastic version of "Hocus Pocus". To continue your "cocaine is a hell of a drug" theme:
Sledgehammer was claymation and stop motion, so the artistic side was cool. Its the most played vid in MTV history iirc. But yeah, Gabriel always did weird stuff. And yes the floating sperm and term sledgehammer meant exactly what you would think. Guys a perv lol.
Awesome video for sure, but I can't hear the original version of that song anymore. They did an acoustic version of it years later and it blew my mind. This was the way it was meant to be played.
I love Springsteen but: "Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm I got a bad desire Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire" Any songs where anyone is "daddy" or referring to "little girl", sorry those are creepy phrases for your significant other IMO. Also this rapey diddy: "I'm driving in my car, I turn on the radio I'm pulling you close, you just say no You say you don't like it, but girl I know you're a liar 'Cause when we kiss, oh, fire Well late at night, I'm taking you home I say I wanna stay, you say you wanna be alone You say you don't love me, but you can't hide your desire When we kiss, oh, fire"
That was amazing. Feel the same way about Foo Fighters Everlong. Once I heard it stripped down acoustic, couldn't go back.
