Tell me, what is my life without your love Tell me, who am I without you, by my side? Like this song needs any introduction from me, amirite? And here comes the next question: how in the wide, wide world of sports is the great George Harrison’s What Is Life any measure of a holiday…
Lacey things, the wife is missing. Didn’t ask, for her permission I’m wearing her clothes, Her silk pantyhose. Walking ’round in women’s underwear… Yes, I know, I’m about two weeks late with this year’s Buttkickin’ Holidays Songs so you’ll have to forgive me for my slackitude. So let’s make up for that with a little…
LUCK. RUNS. OUT… Well Hokeygang, it’s been another fun month of sharing Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs together! While I didn’t get to cover as many songs as I wanted to, I think we got a really strong and diverse collection of tunes together. I’ll leave you on this cool, dark, eerie Hallows Eve with a track…
Woman let me in! Let me bring in the memories! Woman let me in! Let me bring in the Devil Dreams… This one should have come a lot sooner, I swear… Get Out Of My House, the final track on Kate Bush’s terrific 1982 album The Dreaming, is probably the closest I’ve heard to an…
Let our love be a flame not an ember Say it’s me that you want to dis-member Blacken my eye, set fire to my tie As we dance to the Masochim Tango… OK it’s been getting a bit too HEAVY with the Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs of late, Total Eclipse of the Heart notwithstanding. So as…
Yikes… Belgian band Univers Zero popularized integrating chamber music with progressive rock to create complex, often harrowing, and ultimately rewarding musical compositions. Part of the Rock In Opposition (RIO) movement in the late 1970s that rallied against the popular music of the day, the band took the standard guitar, bass, keyboards, drums paradigm and infused…
Step up! No one leaves ’til the night is done The amplifier starts to hum The carnival has just begun… You wanted the best? You got… a buttkickin’ title track from an otherwise crappy album. Look, I make no apologies for being a Kiss fan, and by “fan” I mean “actual fan of the music”,…
WAIT!! Where are you going? Settle down, there’s good reason for this. If you stick around, there might be a $5 cheese plate in it for you.. OK you’re still here? Good. Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 smash hit Total Eclipse of the Heart is probably the last song you’d associate with creepy crawlie spooky Halloween tunes,…
Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees The spirit of her is walking back to me Ah, look at me now, feeling emotion… What happens when the Reaper himself is betrayed by a beating heart? Eleanor Rigby-styled orchestrations never felt so chilling before… Electric Light Orchestra continued the baroque pop trend that began in the…
This ship pulled in without a sound The faithful captain long since cold He kept his log till the bloody end Last entry read “Rats in the hold. My crew is dead, I fear the plague…” DRACULA!!! Well not quite. But if you’ve ever seen F. W. Murnau’s classic silent horror film Nosferatu — and…
