I have been enjoying the run of songs, I never had a theme last this long, and I am really enjoying it in a weird sort of way, I have several more weeks in mind, perhaps longer. As long as I can flog er work the muse, I will, and for some reason Grunge really plays well with this theme of songs for some reason.
I am continuing my string of "bugaloo" songs. This discussion was started in the "Monster Hunter Nation, Hunters Unite", back in December? it is a Facebook group with enthusiast of the ILOH "International Lord of Hate" A.K.A Larry Correia. We were talking about what song would we use if we looked out of our window or glanced at our security camera and saw this.....
One of the alphabet bois lining up to take down your house...What would be your "Valhalla" song and you would set it up to play as you load up magazines and prepare yourself.
I figured it would scar the alphabet boys if they come busting in and hearing a song that is related to Fast cars and good music in the 1980's. What can I say, My humor is warped....just a bit. Next week will be "When the Bullet hits the Bone" by Golden Earring, Now that should really cause some psych evals., hehehe, some poor ATF guy trying to explain the attraction to his mother because of Nose rings, tattoo's and screaming at people....but it is ATF people you know......
"Bodies" (often incorrectly called "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor")is a song by the American rock band Drowning Pool and also is the lead single from their debut album Sinner. Released in May 2001, "Bodies" is Drowning Pool's signature song and has been featured in various films, TV programs, and advertisements since its release. It was also the theme song for the 2001 WWF SummerSlam pay-per-view event, as well as that of the ECW brand in 2006 to early 2008. During 2001, the song got popular, but the song was taken off radio stations after the September 11 attacks because the song was considered inappropriate in the wake of the terrorist attack.
Considered a nu metal song,"Bodies" features a heavy use of the lyric "let the bodies hit the floor". Its lyrics build by gradually counting up from one to four, shouting the number each time, until reaching its intense chorus. Clean vocals in the song's verses make a contrast from the many harsh vocals elsewhere. The guitar structure of "Bodies" features a heavy use of the wah peda
Much like the song's radio success, the "Bodies" music video found significant airplay on various music channels in 2001. Directed by Glen Bennett, it has the band performing in what appears to be a mental institution, with Williams screaming the lyrics into the ear of a man strapped to a chair. Clips from the video were later used in the title animation for the music program Uranium.
The song was used by interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in 2003. "Bodies" was repeatedly played over a 10-day period during the interrogation of Mohamedou Ould Slahi while he was "exposed to variable lighting patterns" at the same time
May I recommend Iron Maidens anthem 'The Trooper'? After all, a song that starts 'You'll take my life but I'll take yours too' seems appropriate.
