El Phantasmo And The Chicken Run Blast-o-Rama
Yeah! I Penetrate the demons
Their teardrops burn away my eyes
I love the paper-thin cry of the locust
Is there another way to die
Find me another hell
And the deathbird ride
Yeah - Yeah - Yeah the motherfucker
Yeah! I'm down-drifting slowly
Going close enough to the sky
New world gone slay the devil
Can you show me a better way to die
Find me another hell
And the deathbird ride
Yeah - Yeah - Yeah the motherfucker
New lovers bang the corpses
Eat the rain and don't ask why
I am a plague in an 18-wheeler
Get behind the wheel I'm gonna drive
White Zombie - Astro-Creep: 2000
Oh boy, I rediscovered the greatness that is White Zombie. Astro-Creep, specifically, will always have a special place in my heart, holding tenderly the memories of a summer long past where we listened to this crap to an extent that most would deem unhealthy. The remembrances of a young intern who came to us clean cut, and by the next summer would look like a wino and smoke two packs a day. It brings back images of me, Jake and John playing Duke Nukem 3D incessantly during working hours and then hysterically trying to look like we'd been working when someone walked into the lab. Oh yes, good times.
I deem this the greatest title to a song ever. I've always dug the song itself, but I had never seen then actual lyrics, since one tends to absorb Zombie more than actually discern the lyrical details. Now that I have seen them laid bare before me I'm not sure what to say, though it is what I expected. I'm certain it's a work that teeters on that hazy border of homicidal genius and drug induced, maniacal schizophrenia.
