Song of the Day v.3 (Less Gore, More Variety!)

[Nosferalatu]

Since we haven't had one of these for a while, and the last couple we had were a little...ya...I figured I'd have a go at it. We'll see how long I keep this up, should be a daily-ish update at least.

WARNING - This thread may cause whiplash, seizures or permanent brain damage due to sudden switches in gear - don't be surprised if I go from Led Zeppelin and Alice in Chains one day to Crystal Method and Garth Brooks the next, I'll be picking random songs from my music library and my tastes are pretty varied. MOST of it will probably fall under the general "rock" heading however.

*Edit: Since Most of my music will fall under some sort of "rock" heading I think for now I'm going to have two special days. Metal Mondays (self explanitory) and Freaky Fridays, which will be all the other/random/weird/funny/non-rockish type stuff. I don't plan on doing anything on the weekends.

So, let's start with one of my favorites.




In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus, gonna make up my dyin' bed.
Meet me, Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord. Please meet me with another pair

Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody...
Jesus gonna make up... Jesus gonna make you my dyin' bed

Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven... Won't you let me in
I never did no harm. I never did no wrong

Oh, Gabriel, let me blow your horn. Let me blow your horn
Oh, I never did, did no harm.

I've only been this young once. I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong
No, not once.

Oh, I did somebody some good. Somebody some good...
Oh, did somebody some good. I must have did somebody some good...
Oh, I believe I did

I see the smiling faces
I know I must have left some traces

And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the field
And I hear them shouting under my feet
And I know it's got to be real
Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I've done
You can deliver me, Lord
I only wanted to have some fun.

Hear the angels marchin', hear the' marchin', hear them marchin',
hear them marchin', the' marchin'

Oh my Jesus...

Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin'...cough

The Clash - Cheat



I get violent when i'm fucked up
I get silent when i'm drugged up
want excitement, don't get none, i go wild

I don't know what can be done about it
if you play the game you get nothing out of it
find out for yourself try bein' a goody goody

you better cheat cheat
no reason to play fair
cheat cheat or don't get anywhere
cheat cheat if you can't win

nobody knows what they are doing
it's beyond your control, an' friday night's a ruin
if you wanna survive you better learn how to lie

don't use the rules
they're not for you, they're for the fools
and you're a fool if you don't know that
so use the rule you stupid fool

HIJACK!




now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast..

[Grimgore]

Couldn't help myself... there's just too many Canadians in this guild to NOT post this video.

Rucka Rucka Ali is like a dirtier, more racist, Weird Al Yankovic who uses mostly songs that are currently on top 40 hip hop stations. And yes, alot of his songs are racist, but he's racist against EVERYONE (white, black, mexican, middle eastern, french, chinese, jewish in the songs I've heard so far), because he's just screwing around and it's not meant to be taken seriously.

EDIT: The original song is Day N Night by Kid Cudi, in case you have never heard it or just can't place the beat or whatever.

omg Grim, epic, lolol

Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath



In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death

Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Oh, oh

He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed an' having fun

Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Yeah, yeah

He hears the silence howling
And catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls

Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page one

I thank God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down

No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

Time for Freaky Friday! Songs that don't fit under my general rock heading.

For this first one we have one of the groups I really consider to be at the core of my life soundtrack. Most people are probably more familiar with their first album Becoming X, from which the songs 6 Underground and Spin Spin Sugar got a bit of airplay. This is off their 3rd album, Bloodsport. After the first album Kelli Dayton was replaced by Chris Corner on vocals, which is why this song is lacking the female vocals many people know them for. Expect to see them again in this thread.

Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport



I want to be a kid again
Combed down hair and Sunday best
See me staying out bunking school
Knowing wrong from right just rules

I wish I'd never seen your face
"Better door than window" phase
I need an echo not your praise
Straying from the point you nailed

My mother
my mother
my mother never told

My mother
my mother
my mother never told me
Love is just a bloodsport

Sex and love is not a game
A game is something you can win
And maybe something kind of fun
Cause love is just a bloodsport "son"

[Grimgore]

Sneaker Pimps are awesome. However, I'm one of those people who just didn't take the loss of Dayton well. I still love Becoming X. Supposedly the other stuff is just as good (better, some would say) but I just can't get into it. Part of what made me like them in the first place was the ethereal trip hop sound mixed with Dayton's vocals. 'Becoming X' is one of those albums I can listen to start-to-finish. Every song is really really good. It's one of those albums where I can't pick a favorite song.

When it happened I felt the same way, but after listening to Chris' stuff it's just as good IMO but in a different way. If you haven't I'd recommend acquiring the later stuff and giving it a listen with an open mind - treating it as it's own monster without comparing it to Dayton's stuff.

Time for Metal Monday!

For the first installment I'm going with some Krokus from 1983, mainly because the video for this one is awesome (awesomely bad or awesomely good, you choose).

Krokus - Screaming in the Night



Sons of vengeance, can you rescue me
They got me tied up to a woe tree
They had me screamin' and alone in the night
I'm beginning to see what's wrong and what is right
What is wrong and what is right, oh, what is wrong and what is ight

The gates was gettin' rusty, as we sailed into the dark
The stars were out and shinin' against the moonlit hour
The wolves were out and howlin', most of the time
And I was cold and shiverin' and bleedin' in the night
Bleedin' in the night, oh, bleedin' in the night

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

In the corner of the valley, we took him by surprise
The sound of steel rang loud, above the battle cries
I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart
I picked her up, and held her high, and I swore to be avenged
Swore to be avenged, oh swore to be avenged, oh

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love as true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

[McClebby]

Always find the song catchy but cant remember the title lol

[Nosferalatu]

From what I've seen/heard Josh Homme is a douchebag, but I really dig this band regardless. Anything Dave Grohl has touched at some point is golden to me.

Queens of the Stone Age - In the Fade



Cracks in a ceiling
Crooked pictures in the hall
Countin and breathin
I'm leaving here tomorrow
They don't know
I'd never do you any good
Laughin is easy
I would if I could

Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall
Into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save and I know
You live till you die

Live till you die, I know

Loosing a feelin that
I couldn't give away
Countin and breathin
Disappearin in the fade
They don't know
I'd never do you any good
Stoppin and stayin
I would if I could

Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall
Into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save I know
You live till you die

Live till you die, I know

Feel Good Hit of the Summer reprise:
Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana
Ecstasy, and alcohol

[Nosferalatu]

Though a some of their lyrics/ideals are more militant than I prefer, they make some damned fine music.

NoFx - Idiots are Taking Over



it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over [x8]

[Grimgore]

Punk in Drublic is still one of my favorite CDs.

I like your music so far. It's stuff I've actually heard of, and not stuff with names like Bloody Vaginal Belch. Not that I don't like death metal, but it has to be in small doses.
