What the hell! You insult, intellegent people, rational people, and now experienced people, if you are that old, one can only assume you are a self-hating, emotional misfit.
No, we are DEVO.
If that has something to do with the devil, I am inclined to agree.
"Working in a coal mine going down down, working in a coal mine WHOO about to slip down. 4 o'clock in the morning, I'm up before the sun.." -DEVO, 'Working in a Coal Mine'
It's a band, from the late 1970's.
They're the great grand daddy of 'new wave' and 'punk'.
Then there's Siouxsie and the Banshees.
DEVO - WHIP IT
Crack that whip
give the past the slip
step on a crack
break your momma's back
when a problem comes along
you must whip it
before the cream sits out too long
you must whip it
when something's going wrong
you must whip it
now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good
when a good time turns around
you must whip it
you will never live it down
unless you whip it
no one gets their way
until they whip it
I say whip it
whip it good
Oh my God, you appear to be completly insane.
SEWMINAR: where you go to lean how to make curtains.
Be glad it wasn't the song "Jocko Homo", and also be glad I didn't mention Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics.
And, Insane would be Layne Staley.
Mad Season - X-Ray Mind
(written by: Layne Staley)
From the album "Above"
Do the laughs die when
One such as I run
And allow myself
Time for own true needs
When convincing me
That you're on my team
May not lie to me
But not mentioning
So sit back and have
An hysterical
Laugh at tiny holes
Buy and trade men's souls
X-ray mind reads plenty
Worth no more than pennies
You, they, it or what
Have been fair, I thought
May you never free
You from you or me
See the more I think
I'm afraid to blink
I don't move an inch
Slowly draining me
Hire a spy and bug me
Pimp your friends for money
Rich and growing sicker
Sell the dead ones quicker
Are you really insane?
Remain clam...
Want weird? Want Lou Reed.....
"Holly came from Miami, F-L-A
Hitchhiked her way across the U-S-A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
/ C - Dm7 - / / C D / F D / 1st / /
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...
(F) / C - Dm7 - / :
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place where
They said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
They said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh
Jackie is just speedin' away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would've helped that bash
She said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say..."
Look who I'm asking.
You're right, that would be a horrible idea.

On Safari With Whide Hunter
In the jumble ... the mighty jumble ... Whide Hunter sleeps tonight
At the foot of the bed, Otumba kept wogs for poisonous snacks such as the deadly cobbler and apply python.
Little did he nose that the next day in early owls of morecombe, a true story would actualy happen.
Otumba awoke him with a cup of teeth, and they lit up toward the jumble.
'Aint dat Elepoon Pill?' said Wipe Hudnose, 'wearing his new Basuti?'
'Could be the Flying Docker on a case."
'No, he's walking,' said Otumbad in Swahily which is not arf from here as the crow barks. All too soon they reached a cleaner in the jumble and set up cramp.
Jumble Jiom, whom shall remain nameless, was slowly but slowly asking his way through the underpants, (but unaware he was being washed by Whide Hungry.)
'Beat the bus Otumba,' commanded Wheat Hoover.
'No! but mable next week it will be my turn to beat the bus now standing at platforbe nine.'
Jumping Gym, who shall remain norman, spotted White Monday and the Barking Doctorine shooting some rhinostrils and hippoposthumous and Otumbark.
''Stob shouting those animoles,' Bud it hab no inflience upod them. they carried on shotting alligarters, wild boats, garriffes, lepers and Uncles Tom Cobra and all ...
Old Buncle Ron Gobble and all ... Bold Rumple, Bom Dobby and all ... Bad Runcorn, Sad Toddy, and all.
We distract you? Then that means that we are smarter, more focused and more dedicated then you are.
We are capable of doing several things at once. It is sad that you can't. Have you considered medication?
We missed ShootMoot, ya know. We are, therefore, entitled to such lawful entertainments as may present themselves.
As for me, I'm off. Might watch the rest of ID4 "enhanced" on AMC.
Local H - BOUND FOR THE FLOOR
Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it
And you just don't get it
you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?
And you just don't get it
you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
and you don't
I didn't say I was distracted, I was conserned about lower life forms.
Oh, and I want to borrow that at your convenience...puhleeeze?
