The beast lives out of the raging storm in the dead of night
The ravenous blood-sick creature searches for its sacrifice
Through the hideous darkness, it lurches, driven by death itself
Only the satisfaction of slaughter will cause it to return to
To the darkness from which it came

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu

Boys and girls, it's nighty night time
Happy J the Clown has a nursery rhyme
It's about, The Boogie Woogie Man
Keep your light on as long as you can
'Cause when it cuts off, so does your head
Boogie Woogie Woogie waits under your bed
With a shank, splah! Up through the bottom
Little Jimmy Jimmy
Got 'em

It's the one and only Boogie Man
He creeps, he hides, he sneaks, he slides
If your little feetsies are hanging off the edge of the bed
You're running on stumps motherfucker

Well, moonlight fills the room that you sleep in
Things go bump in the night, me creeping
Ouch, fuck, I stubbed my toe
If you'd just quit leaving your shit all over the fucking floor
Uh, fuck it, you're dead anyway
And I'm gonna leave your head smack dab in the hallway
In the morning, when your daddy walks out
Ah! His foot's in your mouth, thanks to the Boogie Man

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (here comes the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (make way for the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (mom! Dad! ah, ah)

(Does the Boogie Man really exist?)
Well, is your mother a bald-headed freak bitch? Yes
You fall asleep and you wake up dead
With a broken broom sticking out your forehead
I sing lullabies until you dose off
Tie you down and chew your fuckin toes off
And then spit 'em out back in your face
Fuck, wash your feet bitch

The world's famous Boogie Woogie Wu will come to you
Slumber parties, sleepovers, intimate nights
Whatever the occasion for the midnight hour
He will gladly come and fuck that shit up

I don't beat women, fuck that, I'm above it (no, no)
But I'll cut her fucking neck and think nothing of it (uh-huh)
You didn't know the Boogie Man was a clown
But when you see the juggla, your holding your jugular
With a swing, chop, stab, swing, chop
You're holding your neck together, but your nuts drop
And the cops do the best they can
They pull the axe out your face and say
"Was it the Boogie Man?"

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (what was he wearing?) (here comes the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (make way for the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (mom! Dad! ah, ah)

Please don't let me fall asleep
'Cause the Boogie Man will creep
Through my window in my room
Stab me with a broken broom
Please don't let me fall sleep
'Cause the Boogie Man will creep
Through my window, in my room
Sta-,
Boogie Woogie Woogie!"

It's the incredible, undeadable Boogie Man
Go ahead, pull the covers over your head
Hide under 'em, he don't give a fuck
It'll just make it that much more easier
For him to suffocate your face

There's three ways to stop me from doing what I do
What? You think I'm a tell you
(Mom, can you leave the door open a bit?)
Thanks, an easy way in, you fucking idiot
Now I stretch your neck out and play in like a banjo
Boomchicka, boomchicka like that shit, yo?
Then I stretch it out more and fling your head through the wall
It's the Boogie Man y'all

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (here comes the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (make way for the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (mom! Dad! ah, ah)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
