Frustrated Pumpkin Women and Dirty Water in Boston?

The Standells: Dirty Watah


This is one of those songs that I knew and yet, never quite "got". In my own defense, the singer doesnt do a great job of clearly annunciating the object of his affection, and, the majority of times i heard this song I was either out n about (read: drunk), or it was background music (read: busy). I never even knew the Standells sang it. Yes yes, I know. But rather than dwell on my ignorant past, Id rather discuss my irritated future. Because now that I get it, I'm not sure if i'm offended.

Me like boston. Me spend many formative summer in taxachusetts. Me family tree is firmly planted there. Yes, the chinatown stank there is waaay worse than NYC's chinatown stank (which is quite a feat in and of itself) and its expensive and sterile and um... boring. Oh, and it blessed us with the earache that is Boston Hardcore.

But regardless, it didn't/doesn't deserve a geographic love song that evokes images of cholera/disentery. Plus, what kind of song celebrates the fact that the girls there are sexually frustrated b/c of a midnight curfew. Sex or curfew? In NYC we say screw curfew. What's UP with that Boston: will you turn into pumpkins if you stay out later?

Maybe the girls have to be in by midnight b/c thats when the puking from the 8 pm binge drinking starts.

I told you I knew boston.

In my defense: this was my favorite standells song and i dont mind the minor threat version at all, despite minding minor threat.


the witch... b/c the sonics are way better.

food mention! A+!

Love Machine


Why Not Non Sequitur Thyme

Esperanto: Night of the Wolf


Baby Huey: Hard Times


Violent Femmes: Gone Daddy Gone

* i dont like this band, but i do like this song. And how much of a babe is the singer despite looking a lot like Ted Bundy?

Sigh, yes, I think TB was physically attractive, and yes, i find this internally disturbing. BUT, this guy here has all the hot and none of the guilt that comes with finding a horrible sadistic sociopathic murderer attractive, so he kinda wins. He'd totally win if his band wasn't so...."meh". Add it up is a lame ass song about sexual angst. I hated seeing people sing and get "into" that song. Creepy. Same with Kiss Off.

the Dogs: your mamma's on crack rock


the end.

Besides how the hell can i follow that one up, anyway. Maybe that Necro I need drugs video. But i cant hang with that now, or maybe ever again. I've got more dishes to do.

Dr Hook award for retarded sexuality in product advertisement

Whats his secret? Is he with the Mossad? Does he have crabs? Is he going to make her marry him?

No nothing that exciting. The secret is he has fake hair. Which is infinitely more disturbing than any of the above.

heres pat boone losing his toupee. CLASSIC!


Here's a bad toupee that stays on.

Nancy & Lee vs Dolly: Down From Dover

JESUS. What a depressing song! I listened to the Nancy version first, and was like, um...Lee sounds like he needs a cough drop.
THEN i heard dolly's version, and I actually started crying. I think this may rank up there with "death be not proud" (the book) the Plague and that song by Elton John where its a guy dying of aids* talking to his dad as far as the most upsetting artistic creations on the planet.

"And dying was her way of telling me he wont be coming back from dover....". The baby dies. THE BABY DIES OF SADNESS. The little bastard child dies of sadness b/c her dad is a fuckup. I need me a hanky. Really. No hyperbole here.

This song is the ultimate birth control. Play it to those horny high school kids- they will be too depressed to even want to have sex ever again.

Dolly's version:


Nancy & Lee's slightly more upbeat version.


Dolly Wins. By a long shot.

* heres the video from EJ that I mentioned earlier, in case you are a masochist.Bonus! Its from And the Band Played On I made it to 1:25 before i started crying. A personal best, considering I've seen this movie, video etc at least twenty times. ATBPO is, without a doubt, one of THE MOST DEPRESSING MOVIES in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. I watched it once with a group of five rather manly male friends, and each one of us was SOBBING by the end of that movie. One quite uncontrollably. No one spoke for a good ten minutes after it was over. Then we all got disgustingly drunk and someone threw up in our sink.

Here's a MAD Tv sketch re: elton john's funeral songs. Me needs levity.
