I would prefer a squirrel nut massage.

I keep hearing an uptempo Jockey Full of Bourbon by Tom Waits.

this is a pretty cool song, but the drumming is too scattered for me (maybe that's what makes it interesting...)

This is great. Who's the artist?
Also, not to be a grammar nazi, but shouldn't the word have been "extracted" instead of "extruded"? (I know that's how it is in the song, I'm just saying).
They would have been "extruded" if they were "pushed out" or "forced through a die" (e.g., pastry bag, frosting gun) in order to be used with the ground bones "and baked into cakes", which is what I believe the lyrics allude to. After all, they probably have some powerful kitchen accessories in hell. I imagine the teeth would have to be "extracted" first, though. |

I've just finished reading Iain M Banks' latest doorstopper, "Surface detail", and that's all about Hells, envisaged as virtual worlds in which inmates are treated to tortures more excruciating than even Hieronymous Bosch imagined. If you've a strong stomach, it's well worth a read.

Funny - the comments about having to be of retirement age to appreciate this song...
Or maybe someone is made uncomfortable by the lyrics?
If anyone should be uncomfortable, its those gettin' on in years ;-)
So maybe that's not a good analysis?

My thoughts exactly! This fluctuation doesn't help it towards the 8 though. |

This is one of those songs I truly can't rate, because I can't simultaneously give it a 1 and an 8.
Interestingly, these days I'm feeling the same about Andrew Bird, who used to be in this band.
