Mommy's Little Monsters

Creature Feature

What’s that hiding
Inside the closet
Shrouded in darkness
It’s mommy’s little monsters

What’s that huddled
Down by the bedpost
Waiting in repose
It’s mommy’s little monsters

I can hear them slithering
Inside the walls
I can hear them shuffling
Out in the hall

What’s that lurking
Down in the basement
Wailing in torment
It’s mommy’s little monsters

What’s that chewing
Up through the floorboards
Vila and abhorred
It’s mommy’s little monsters

I can fell them slithering
Inside the walls
I can hear them shuffling
Out in the hall

Little heathens
Blasphemous creatures
Nasty vermin
Every single one
They want your blood
They need to feed
And now mother has brought them a treat

What’s that howling
Up in the attic
Wild and frantic
It’s mommy’s little monsters

What’s that scratching
Outside the window
Concealed in shadows
It’s mommy’s little monsters

I can fell them slithering
Inside the walls
I can hear them shuffling
Out in the hall

What’s that looming
Behind the curtains
Dripping in crimson
It’s mommy’s little monsters

What’s that creeping
Across the bedroom
Hell bent to consume
It’s mommy’s little monsters

I can fell them slithering
Inside the walls
I can hear them shuffling
Out in the hall

Little heathens
Blasphemous creatures
Nasty vermin
Every single one
They want your blood
They need to feed
And now mother has brought them a treat

Their existence is wrong
All humanity’s gone
Pray you survive until dawn
Dinner is served and now blood has been drawn

Little heathens
Blasphemous creatures
Nasty vermin
Every single one
They want your blood
They need to feed
And now mother has brought them a treat

    My Opinion
    Hm, This One Is Hard For Me To Figure Out Exactly. I've Always Thought It Was About Someone With Paranoia. "What's That Hiding Inside The Closet?" "What's That Huddled Down By The Bedpost?" "I Can Hear Them Slithering Inside The Walls. I Can Hear Them Shuffling Out In The Hall." Ect. It's A Person Whom Is Seeing Things, And Hearing Things That Really Aren't There. "Little Heathens, Blasphemous Creatures. Nasty Vermin, Every Single One. They Want Your Blood, They Need To Feed. And Now Mother Has Brought Them A Treat" The Person Is Telling Others About What's Going On With Him, But They Probably Only Think He's/She's Going Insane. That's What I Think Though, So If I'm Wrong, Eh. I'm Only 12, So Get Over It.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

System
Mel And Kim
Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
