Zombie Tom's ultimate mix CD! This is my entry into
Lefty Brown's Mixed Bag 2 CD exchange project. I didn't sign up for the project, and no one invited me, but I'm participating anyway, and anyone who doesn't like it may as well just scoop the brains out of their skull right now.
Warning: beware when clicking on the links to lyrics. I can't eat the brains of the proprietors of
every lyrics site that tries to download junk on your computer, or has a million pop-ups, or whatever. I tried to find the safest links possible, but what's safe on my computer may not be so safe on yours.
When There's No More Room In Hell, This Mix Will Walk the Earth, or, Music To Eat Brains By1. Tankard, intro to
Zombie AttackI open with a happy beginning: a zombie eats the lead singer of some obscure Germanic heavy metal band.
2. Rob Zombie,
Living Dead GirlThe ultimate zombie artist. I almost included "Die, Zombie, Die" instead, but that's just mean. (Also, it kind of sucks.)
3. Murderdolls,
She Was a Teenage ZombieI'd never heard of these guys before this song, but they've got the zombie dating scene down cold. Which is apropos, since zombie daters tend to be cold. Ice cold.
4. The Zombies,
She's Not ThereI would go so far as to say, I would like these guys even if they didn't have such an excellent name.
5. Nas,
Black ZombieI debated whether or not to include this song. It contains frequent use of a racial epithet all too common to rap music, but that's not what made me hesitate; I don't feel any hatred behind the use of that word. What gave me pause was a line that could be interpreted as possibly anti-Arabic and anti-Semitic. Nas goes on to praise Islam in the next line -- but leaves a lingering doubt as to the anti-Semitism. I chose to assume the best, and included the song. I apologize if you see it differently. I'm a P.C. zombie, baby!
6. The Hooters,
All You ZombiesHee hee hee! Even a zombie has to laugh at "Hooters".
7. The Misfits,
BraineatersThe first of three Misfits songs. What can I say? The Misfits are extremely zombie-friendly.
8. Palate cleanser #1: Katrina and the Waves,
Walking On SunshineI find that a great mix needs to shift gears. So I include this song as a palate cleanser, if you will. From the light, happy, optimistic tunes about zombies ruling the earth, we switch to this deeply scary and disturbing dirge.
9. G. Love and Special Sauce,
Night of the Living DeadThe beginning of the George A. Romero tribute trilogy.
10. Goblin, title theme to
Dawn of the DeadAt least, I
think it's the title theme. It's hard to tell, what with
the song names being in Italian and all. At any rate, it's an instrumental track from the soundtrack to
the greatest movie of all time.
11. The Misfits,
Day of the DeadMore Misfits. I think Danzig is a zombie, but when I write to him and ask, my letters keep getting returned unopened. Maybe I shouldn't address them to the North Pole.
12.
Hellbillys, Surf Zombies
Couldn't find the lyrics to this one, so I linked to the band instead. Despite the title, zombies don't actually surf all that often. We prefer boogie boarding.
13. Skycycle,
It's Terror Time Again (from the
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island soundtrack)
The greatest animated movie of all time. For the first time, Scooby-Doo faces
real monsters, and they're
zombies! That's frickin'
sweet.
14. The Misfits,
Astro ZombiesAstro Zombies. Zombies... from space? Uh, sure. Why not? As far as you know, right? They'll eat your brains from geosynchronous orbit. Sucka!
15. Palate cleanser #2: Toni Basil,
MickeyThe single most horrifying song ever performed. How's that for mixing things up? Hope I didn't scare you too badly.
16. The Cranberries,
ZombieWhen Dolores O'Riordan does that yodeling thing she does, it kind of sounds like me after my tongue fell out.
17. Groovie Ghoulies,
Zombie CrushI saw them open for The Donnas before I became a zombie. Man, I wish The Donnas were all zombies. And my roommates. And we solved crimes together. By the way, the link to the lyrics for this song are illustrative of the plagiaristic and stunted nature of the internet. The lyrics are slightly incorrect (where it says "sew my lips up" it should be "sew my lips shut," and where it says "sew my lips shut" it should be "sew my eyes up"), which isn't that alarming -- but the thing is
every single other lyrics site on the entire internet has the exact same errors in the lyrics. The first person to transcribe the lyrics got it wrong; not one other person on the whole world wide web bothered to double check before copying and pasting those lyrics onto their site, errors intact. Stupid humans.
18. Faith No More,
Zombie EatersFrom their fantastic album,
The Real Thing [
EDIT: My bad! I originally called the album
Epic; that was the name of the hit single from the album]. A song from a baby's point of view, presumably a baby in training to be a zombie. Can babies become zombies? Find me a baby and I'll show you.
19. Harry Belafonte,
Zombie JamboreeDig that Caribbean sound. I hear that on some of those Caribbean islands, voodoo priests use their powers to make zombies. Ha! That's just a myth. Everyone knows you become a zombie by kissing with your shoes off.
20. The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy,
Zombie LoveI've never been in zombie love, but I've been in zombie like.
21. Ozzy Osbourne,
Zombie StompFeaturing Rob Zombie. It's a long one, so I hope you like it. I enjoy eating brains while listening to it; you might want to try that, too.
22. Tom Petty,
Zombie ZooI've been trying to win tickets to the Tom Petty/Jackson Browne concert all week. Petty rules! I swear, if I don't get through on the phone during the next giveaway, I'm just going to eat my way into the concert.
