ReplyDeletehmpf. Too Australian.
ReplyDeleteBesides, already covered, and with moar Godwin, in the Hitler Brain thingy.
The Kills - Fried My Little Brains
ReplyDeleteI reserve the remainder of my time.
Please turn in your music credentials at the door on the way out:
ReplyDeleteZappa - Zombie Woof
"I got a great big pointed fang
Which is my Zomby Toof
My right foot's bigger than my other one is
Like a reg'lar Zomby Hoof"
Nothing by the Dead Kennedys?
ReplyDeleteNot even Kill the Poor?
~
Too Australian.
ReplyDeleteZombie is on the list.
Zappa - Zombie Woof
ReplyDeleteI left that one at the door as too obvious. Also, not in my current Zappa file.
I like the Kills ref though. It's in the running.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, does anyone have anything that competes with Nick Cave's "Death Is Not The End"? With vox by PJ Harvey, Kylie Minogue, Anita Lane, Brian Hooper and Shane McGowan?
Not even Kill the Poor?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Eat the Rich be a better selection? But then, it's not DK's...
Zombie makes me cry. How can you not include:
ReplyDeleteThe Cramps, Zombie Dance.
Because I don't have it on my hard drive?
ReplyDeleteSorry about the tears, fish. Perhaps you can borrow Snag's bourbon bowl.
Might also vote for:
ReplyDeleteKiller in the Home.
Because I don't have it on my hard drive?
ReplyDeleteWHAT?!?!?!?!
Might have to fix that...
ReplyDeleteI have Psychedelic Jungle, Gravest Hits, and Stay Sick. It's not as if I have IGNORED The Cramps.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to save my battered IMS standing, here.
"Songs the Lord Taught Us" was my first Cramps album (yeah I said ALBUM), and still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIggy Pop, Eat or Be Eaten
roomate had that one, so I never bought it. Never taped it either, so my error.
ReplyDeleteLiving dead girl?
ReplyDeleteI know you already have Rob Zombie on there, but hey twice is nice.
and
ReplyDeleteI want a copy.
I don't have that Rob Zombie song either. I am disappointing EVERYONE today.
ReplyDeleteZombie's take on Blitzkreig Bop is AWESOME though.
Too long for a music CD, Von. Can you cope with an MP3 disc?
Pogues, Turkish Song of the Damned.
ReplyDeleteAnd I sit and talk to you,
I see your face go white.
The shadow hanging over me
Is no trick of the light.
anything by the Dead Boys
ReplyDeletePatti Smith - Summer Cannibals
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one, Willy, but as a Milwaukeean, I have to point out that Jeffrey Dahmer clearly showed that you don't have to be undead to be a cannibal.
ReplyDeleteIt's your list but your selection criteria are shifting like a pair of Republican goalposts. Blitzkrieg Bop and Don't Fear The Reaper aren't undead songs either. Nary a brain in either one.
ReplyDeleteThen the one song that is wholly within the realm of All Things Zombie you exclude for obviousness.
Zombies, go figure.
Blitzkrieg bop by ROB ZOMBIE.
ReplyDeleteguilty about the capriciousness though. Mainly ruled by the selection of songs I actually HAVE.
I'd be glad to digitize Overnight Sensation for you. I still have a brain freeze from the realization that you don't have it.
ReplyDeleteAlways kind of figured Zappa could take care of hisself, now that he's a Zappa Zombie and all.
ReplyDeleteBut come on. Don't Fear The Reaper not being a zombie song? Not only is it about accepting death, and (un)life after death, but it also has had a certain ongoing shambling resurrectional-y life of it's own. It's like a Zombie National Anthem.
Or will be after the zombocalypse.
Also, I love BOC. It's another reason why my IMS standing is in such -heh- shambles.
Zombie Eaters, Faith No More.
ReplyDeleteI saw them play this live, and I'll never forget seeing this huge dude come out of the mosh put with blood pouring down his face. METAL!
Being undead and able to fly is vampire stuff, amirite? It's too caring of a song to represent zombieness, IMNZO.
ReplyDelete'Tis your list. You are the zombie, after all.
Captcha snarks me...hobject. How does it do that?
If "the selection of songs I actually HAVE" is a criterion, Zombie needs to supply us with a list of the songs he has.
ReplyDeleteOr provide us with passwords to unlock his PC and let us roam around there by ourselves...
I don't have that song either.
ReplyDeleteLook, howzabout we just admit that I disappointed you all, as is my way, and move on?
Not to say that you all can't send me gift downloads of the songs you suggested.
Check your in box
ReplyDeleteShirley Cannibal Corpse was omitted by hackcident?
ReplyDelete~
Fuck, this post was a misteak.
ReplyDeletenever forget seeing this huge dude come out of the mosh put with blood pouring down his face
ReplyDeletewas there a guy with a nommed noggin in the pit afterward? Not METAL - ZOMBIE!!
Also, Smut is STILL on the list.
ReplyDeleteFuck, this post was a misteak.
ReplyDeleteYou misspelled "blog".
This post is a blog?
ReplyDeleteAlso: in a further misguided attempt to salvage my bedraggled IMS standing, I wish to point out THAT I DO TOO HAVE OVERNIGHT SENSATION.
ReplyDeleteIt is on a cassette tape, and non-digitzed. It was probably recorded before many of you were born.
This blog was a mistake.
I wish to point out THAT I DO TOO HAVE OVERNIGHT SENSATION.
ReplyDeleteThat's a load off my mind.
Branes must not be as nutritious as they once were.
WV is 'genis'...it's what Mr Simmons calls his little friend.
I wish to point out THAT I DO TOO HAVE OVERNIGHT SENSATION.
ReplyDeleteSo the numbness in the extremities is only a daytime phenomenon?
