It's not about a vibrator. The Misfits are from New Jersey, and in New Jersey there is a tactical missile base codenamed "Nike." I'm not sure if it's still in commission today, but you can read about it in the various "Weird NJ" circulations.
This song is about the Nike missile used for defense during the cold war, not a specific base. There were Nike missle bases all over the country.
it's about nike missiles the first anti-aircraft missile but more specifically about the nike hercules missile with a nuclear warhead. he's just personifying it with a girl analogy.
This is a song about a vibrator. Read all the lines closely and you will see.
"Missle girl." "Manual sex drive" "etc."
I live in NJ, and no, the Nike Missle Base is no longer in service. It was shut down a while ago, but it is a local legend. The misfits are from Lodi, and the missle base is in East Hanover, which is about a 45 minute drive away...
Nike: Just do it!
the original name "Nike" comes from greek mythology. she was the Goddess of strength, speed, and victory.
I disagree with all of you, although the vibrator one is good. I think they got the name of the "charactor" from your missle base, but I think it is clearly about a "monster kid" mastrabating while looking at a poster or comic book about this Nike a go go. That is your manuel sex drive, and it explains the end, "there I go, and it's over"
These lyrics are, in my perspective, some of the best Danzig's ever published. The theme resembles something Franz Kafka would write about: A man's erotic relation to a death machine. His highest wish seems to be to reach some kind of climax by launching this missile and most likely die by the explosion
The personalizing of the "death machine" makes this track so beautifully haunting
ahhh and again. i love the creepy bass in the beginning.
