Girly Songs!
I listened again today to Nouvelle Vague, a CD of my fave 80s punk tunes done in a girly way!
My two faves are:
and
Dance with Me (i watched it a million times on Boris‘ blog)
and how can you not luv I am a Human Fly done girly style! Think about it, this song was originally done by the CRAMPS which
represent everything that is truly reprehensible about rock’n’roll. Founding members Lux Interior (the psycho-sexual Elvis/Werewolf hybrid from hell) and guitar-slinging soul-mate Poison Ivy (the ultimate bad girl vixen) are the architects of a wicked sound that distills a cross of swamp water, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance. Their cultural impact has spawned a legion of devil cults and dance-floor catfights, and created in its wake a cavalcade of cave-stomping imitators. As punk rock pioneers in the late seventies, they cut their teeth on the stages of CBGB and Max’s Kansas City and recorded their first record at Sam Phillips legendary Sun Studios, funded mainly by Ivy’s income as a dominatrix in NYC. They coined the now popular term “psychobilly” on their 1976 gig posters. Their hair-raising live performances are still a total, no-holds-barred rock’n’roll assault. After a quarter century of mayhem, they’re too far gone to even consider any other course.
Do they ever misbehave! that is why that song is soooo wonderful done in this new way! i remember going to a cramps concert at barrymores, during that song, lux interior licked my arm, drank from my beer and well lost his pants! No wonder he had cut off the waistline of those latex things he was wearing. He also did an incredible array of lude and lacivious things to the microphone, the stand and well just about anything he got his hands on! Including my arm! Poison Ivy was so wild, jamming on her vintage guitar, chewing wadds of gum and wearing ripped fishnets and a latex body suit with a big buckle on her well you know - her privates (giggles!)! What a woman! I dressed suitably for the occasion, a fabulous retro black leather jacquet avec very short matching skirt, fishnets and 1920s high heels to go with my black hair and russian red lipstick and bicept length silk black gloves! i also had a whole bag of candies in little coffins i handed out and tossed on the stage!
sigh!
