The Misfits - Halloween

Top Ten Punk Albums of All Time: Number 4

Misfits (Lodi, New Jersey)
Walk Among Us (1982)

Mix the first Ramones LP with Black Sabbath's Paranoid and some B-movie scripts, and you might end up with the good, clean horror music that is Walk Among Us. I've posted two songs from this album previously: Skulls and Astro Zombies.

Representative lyric:
Two inch nails.
Micro waist.
With a pale white feline face.
Inclination eyebrows—to there.
(from “Vampira”)

Misfits, “Nike a Go Go”

The Misfits - Skulls

Maybe the best thing about YouTube are the cover songs by us regular folk. Here's a guy doing an acoustic version of what was probably my favorite Misfits song, “Skulls.” Surprisingly, quite a few people have posted covers of this one, but I think this guy gets it the most.



Here's a boob of the original song:

The Misfits - Astro Zombies

Not sure what's up with all of the posting today. S'pose I might be the Bizarro Scott. Anyway, was cooking up a cheeseburger for lunch and for whatever reason—maybe it was the meat, maybe the economy, maybe something to match my unusual amount of energy today—“Astro Zombies” (not actual zombies, but a song by The Misfits) came crashing into my head and wouldn't leave; a song I listened to hundreds of times back as they say in the day but not so much the past decade or so. And because blogging seems to be what I'm about today, I'm posting this nifty YouTube boob* courtesy of mysterio32:



*In case you didn't know, the videos on YouTube are called boobs. OK, so no one knows this yet, but it's going to catch on. Pretty soon breasts will be breasts and boobs will be boobs.
