I have no idea what he is singing but I like to imagine it is something like this:
“This rusted out robot
half buried by moss and mud
sunk and unfeeling
Until we found him
And cleaned his face
and the grass began to grow
For the first time in 100 years
the birds built a nest of hair
And we lit candles in his eyes
And brought him back to life…
And now we’re lumbering home
and now we’re lumbering home.”
I wouldn’t mind NYC so much if this song was playing the whole time and you were always running with friends to catch a train.
The best thing about movies from the 80s is that everything was so jacked up. It was like, for 10 years, movies just decided to ignore subtlety and have their characters act like they were on the bow of a battleship while F-15 fighter jets screamed by and fireworks went off in the shape of an American flag.
This movie had such a fucked up message. Basically the rich hot chick HAS to have wild, crazy carnie sex with the dude who runs the rocket ride before she gets married, otherwise she won’t really be able to commit to her husband. Threesomes, motorcycle sex and a prolonged sequence shown in the trailer that looks like somebody shot a porno during a Heart video.
Truly spectacular. This movie is probably why guys still rock that hairstyle. I’ve actually met that dude before. He seemed creeped out.
This version sounds a bit painful…but you can’t beat the line “We made a deal in the car…”
That line would work well in a bank heist film.
It is a Sunday night. You should be watching this movie, drinking tea and calling your Mom.
Happy Sunday.
It’s been a very Bowie filled few days over here at Lipstuck headquarters.
I mean, he still rules. Seriously.
You learn new things every day.
This is my friend Mark from Western Mass. playing at a Swell Season concert. Pretty sure you can feel the cold weather in his song writing.
I encourage everyone to buy one of his albums. Or I can make you a mix cd. Whatevs.
This is just one example of why my home state is the greatest.
Vermont FTW!
