Saturday Night Holocaust Lyrics
great... no other word fits...
This song is about the elitist attitudes and policies of discos and disco dancers.
:-/ this is my least favourite DKs song
I now love it.
Best song off of "Give me Convienience or Give me Death"
Wow, mountainjew, i guess a year'll do that. I figure "Pull My Strings" or "I FOught The Law" are the best tracks on the album (besides CUA and HIC)
I'd say "Police Truck", "Too Drunk to Fuck", "Saturday Night Holocaust", "Pull My Strings" and "Straight A's" were the top 5 songs on it.
It's funny how this is about a disco, since once the song gets into the fast part the guitar and bass riffs and drum beat are almost catchy enough to dance to.
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
- Martin Niemöller
It's about complacency in the wake of human suffering. In addition, the disco scene of the 1970s was notorious for it's hedonism and debauchery. The character in this song, is escaping into pleasure to avoid dealing with the hard truths of his reality. But it's only a temporary respite, because eventually the same unpleasantness he does not want to acknowledge or think about catches up with him.
