What are you listening to?

I hate you for posting that, and I sympathize. All three of mine went through Wiggles phases. Now, my wife and I are learning pop music via the kids' Musical.ly accounts. It's a sad, mad world:

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

We were just talking about Patrick Swayze movies in another thread. S. Darko is an excellent sequel, btw.

Patrick Swayze was cool but incredibly creepy in that particular movie. Since the whole film was a creepfest, he somehow added a cherry on top that captured a contradiction like the movie itself. Swayze was a major sex symbol: Ghost, Roadhouse, Dirty Dancing.. and then this movie turned all that on its head. Evil kiddie porn brainwashing mastermind, with his own dungeon.

If you're gonna smash a sacred cow, don't hold back. Me, I love Duran Duran. They're a guilty pleasure of mine like a like of other 80's crap. But never again can I hear "Notorious" without thinking of sexually abused girls and Cunningham's kiddie torture dungeon. That's why they call it "creepy", it crawls up the back of your neck and never leaves.

Dirty Dancing was pretty creepy, if you stop and think about it. Some 20-or-30-ish other-side-of-the-tracks servant seducing a minor. Can we all say "typecast?"

Notorious was the harbinger of the end of relevance for LeBon and crew. I loved everything they did up until that album. One of my favorites:

But still not a crime according to 1960's New York State law, or so I was told. Johnny's 20-something tristing with Baby's ready-to-pounce seventeen was no more shocking than the rock and roll and dancing they did around that time.

Now this, this is fucking subversive shit. Naked lizards? Nope, this song about about sex plain and simple.

Omar Sharif even shows up at 0:11.

All songs are about sex or politics or religion or drugs (all spokes on the wheel of morality). The only shocking thing is when we realize what the lyrics actually mean.

Kick ass videos too.

high school was a confusing time

But in this case literally so.

"The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline"

They're talking about cocks and vaginas.

Not many people know this, but there was a late 1960's psychedelic band named "H.P. Lovecraft" credited with a "folk psychedelic" style based on Lovecraft's works.

Think Procol Harum (Whiter Shade of Pale, etc.), if Procol Harum were all Elder God cultists.

It's not bad stuff, and most of the band were very good musicians, but they were never very successful. I personally feel the band may have had an influence on 70's era horror rock acts like Alice Cooper and the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Hopefully, Pship isn't the only one, here, that will appreciate Delia Derbyshire:

Forever classic:
