| Meat Loaf – In the Land of the Pig, the Butcher Is King Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This is probably my favorite track of the new album. It manages to rock pretty hard without using cheesy modern effects like "The Monster's Loose." The guitar solo in the center feels pretty unnesscery, though.
Interesting story, Steinman wrote this song for the proposed "Batman" musical that never got off the ground. Its about Gotham City's corrupt politics, pretty obviously. |

You know, I'd like to think it's about people breaking away from thier everyday life to live their dreams, but, let's face it, it's about jerking off. Though the song also seems to comment on the hypocrites of religion. Like how there's no reason a teenager should feel gulity for masturbating even though many of them raised in strong religious households do. I like how the tone of the song changes half-way through into something lighter before going right down into the dark. The how "Back Into Hell" album is so wonderfully over the top. It rocks. |

This is definately one of the better originals off the new album. Reminds me alot of "Harvey the Wonder Hamster." Do you think Al fans will start practicing Weasal Stomping Day now? |

It's hard to pick a favorite polka medley, but this one definately rates high for me, up there with the Alternative Polka and the Angry White Boy Polka. |

This is just great stuff. I love cheesy tabloids (Like the World Weekly News) and this covers most of the cliches. Musically, it's also one of Al's strongest songs as well. The melody kicks butt. |

This song makes me thing Al might be growing tired of the comedy genre. I mean, aside from the slightly amusing lyrics, this sounds like a pretty straight headbanger. |

One of Al's BEST original songs, without doubt. The idea of someone getting that excited over something as boring as a hardware store is just really frikin' funny. |

| Weird Al Yankovic – Generic Blues Lyrics

B. B. King supposedly list this as one of his favorite blues song. That's just hilarious. It does seem to cover just about every blues cliche their is. I especialyl love the lines, "I got up this morning, then I went back to bed" and "My brothers and sisters all hated me, because I was an only child." |

| Weird Al Yankovic – Do I Creep You Out Lyrics

I'm not familar with the original song at all, so I feel some of the comic effect is probably lost on me. The lyrics are funny, but definately ground he's cover on at least two songs before. Still, he's vocals are nice on this one. |

You know, I'm kinda' dissapointed in "Straight Outta' Lynwood." The parodies are pretty good, all and all, but orginal stuff is pretty forgettable. ("Weasal Stomping Day" and "Don't Download This Song" aside.) This song, inparticular, is probably the most forgettable song Al has ever done. And the animated video on the DVD side is creepy. |

While the lyrics are obviously meant to be humorous, the song doesn't seem to speaking down to anybody or trying to be really hip or something. It has geniune emotion. I think that adds a lot to it. |

| David Bowie – Under the God Lyrics

Technically, this is a Tin Machine song, but since Bowie was part of that band and this is included on his Greatest hits album, I guess it counts. (Snort)
This is probabily Bowie's most political song, I think. |

This is a Bruce Springsten (sic) cover that is included on the second disc of the SE of Diamond Dogs. I don't really care for it since Bowie is all about poetry and Bruce is all about rewriting the same song over and over again. They don't go together. |

| David Bowie – Alternative Candidate Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|

This song is incredablly oblique and I have no idea what it means, much less how it would have fit into the 1984 musical. All the gay slang and werid sexual discussion makes it a little surprising first time you hear it. The guy in the liner notes for the speacil edition of Diamond Dogs, in which a second disc that has this song on it is included, calls it "one of the the flithest songs in rock history" which strikes me as a very naive thing to say. Anyway, Bowie's vocals sound nice on this one, I like the piano stuff, and it's pretty darn catchy. Not that I understand it. |

| The Flaming Lips – The W.A.N.D. (The Will Always Negates Defeat) Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This song seems to sum up the "us agaisnt them" mentallity that propels almost the entire album. (Hence the tittle.) I don't think it's so much a straight protest song as it is sort of rallying against all that is false and wrong in modern society.
The bass riff kicks ass, too. I had only heard the Yoshimi album before and didn't know the Lips could rock this hard. |

Human beings, as we are now, can never really understand the afterlife or our place in the universe so to try and figure it out or judge it is just bogus. At least that's what I think it means. |

Yeah, it's about a sex doll.
And even though that subject really has nothing to do with anything, I've always thought of this song as the greatest horror rock song ever. I mean, it sounds like it should be, doesn't it? |

Wow, no one's commited on this kick-ass little song? Shame.
Anyway, I'm currently dating the lead singer/guitarist of a punk-rock band and I have convinced her to add this song to their preformances because every time I hear it I think of her. |

I know the song is about Winston and Julia but I have sort of adapted this song to be about the end of a relationship. Maybe when the couple realizes they should just cut their losses but it's never that easy... Oh, it's such a song. Makes me cry every time I hear it. |

Yeah, I believe that the Iggy story is the origin for this one. Sort of unrelated note here, but I know that at least some of the music from Station to Station was meant to be part of the soundtrack for "The Man Who Fell To Earth" and this song always reminds me of the scene where Thomas Newton is sitting and watching the walls of TVs and he is sort of consumed by them. Man, that's a freaky-ass movie. |

The whole Aladdin Sane album is about his experience of touring America. Sort of being shocked at seeing the grittiness of inner cities for the first time. I guess things are different in the UK.
Anyway, to this song, I agree that it's about Iggy Pop. Or just people that can combine the low class and the high class through their personal style. |

For no particular reason, I always assumed that this song was about a divorce going bad. Amazing song, though. I love how his voice breaks at the end of the verses. Strange, because this one has been used in at least two films, "American Psycho" and "Memento" which is where I heard it first. |

Having been in a relationship with mentally ill people in the past, I can certainly relate to it on that level. But I'm not so sure if that what's the song is getting at... I love the strange howling sounds heard throughout this song. |

I'm not sure what he's getting at, but I always got that the last part was about finding solace in music. Maybe it's a cauntionary tale... Great song. I love how it builds. What a finale! |
