my second favorite song about a car wreck (in the kingdom #19 wins). I like the 'red dressed in red drenched in red spreading red' line.
Another good car wreck song is "Motorist" by Jawbox.
Any idea why this is called "Walken's Syndrome". Is there some connection here to Christopher Walken?
This song is a tribute to Christopher Walkjen's character in Annie Hall (Director: Woody Allen) who fantasizes about crashing his car into another.
Not sure if it's an actual condition, but I adore this song as a elegy for a character who wants to die and ina way ('gone, gone, gone') is already dead. Fugazi- the only real contender for 'greatest band ever'.
