Arcade Fire, Funeral.
And speaking of Arcade Fire, does anyone else think Neon Bible is sort of like an Eddie and the Cruisers meets goth-pop sound straight out of the 1980s? Like, "Keep the Car Running" ... "They know my name 'cause I told it to them, but they don't know where and they don't know when it's coming. Oh, when it's coming. Keep the car running."
Anyway, it's probably just me. I keep thinking I hear hints of The Hooters, too, and I've lost track of whatever song it is that "No Cars Go" reminds me of.
Hell, now I need to listen to Neon Bible. I get that Eddie and the Cruisers thing stuck in my head, and it's just over ....

He's listening to himself as he looks into the mirror and admires his great achievement. :shrug:

system of a down: boom!!
Ive been walking through your streets,
Where all you moneys earning,
Where all your biuldings crying,
And clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears,
Desensitized by tv,
Overbearing advertising,
God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures,
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering,
Your neighboor, what a guy.
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the God your child has born.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations,
Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations,
Puppeting your frustrations,
With the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent
Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,
Nobody gives a fuck.
4000 hungry children die per hour,
From starvation,
While billions spent on bombs,
Create death showers.
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the God your child has born.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom
Why, why, why, why must we kill, kill, kill, kill, our own, own, own, own kind...
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the God your child has born.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom
Every time you drop the bomb.

The House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
(Organ solo)
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
(Organ solo)
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

OK kiddo, how's this? Negative enough fer ya?
verse from The Ballad of Billy and Millie
off the album From the Inside by Alice Cooper
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin, music by Alice Cooper
Composed after Cooper's stay in an institution
[Female vocal]... Billy, the memory torments me
Of the night that it had to be done.
Me with my pickaxe and scissors,
You with your shovel and gun...
[Male vocal] And I loved your late husband Donald,
But what torture his memory brings.
[Duet] All sliced up and sealed tight in baggies.
Guess love makes you do funny things.
Oh Billy
Oh Millie
Criminally insane.
Oh Billy
Oh Millie
Criminally insane.

Oh, the bodies of drowned sailors and dead airmen
Flounder upside down beneath the roaring wave
And the fishes eat the flesh from off their fingers
And the sea is so much deeper than the grave
And the pale English stone
Stands alone
Over me
Oh, the bodies rise and falling in slow motion
As the flesh gives way to coral and her charms
If you listen hard, you'll hear the sea is breathing
And she's waiting there to hold you in her arms
And the pale English sun
Shone
Over me
Oh, the telegram is lying on the table
You left it there, you can't believe it's true
God finds you naked and he leaves you dying
What happens in between is up to you
And the luminous rose
Glows
Over me
Over me
Flounder upside down beneath the roaring wave
And the fishes eat the flesh from off their fingers
And the sea is so much deeper than the grave
And the pale English stone
Stands alone
Over me
Oh, the bodies rise and falling in slow motion
As the flesh gives way to coral and her charms
If you listen hard, you'll hear the sea is breathing
And she's waiting there to hold you in her arms
And the pale English sun
Shone
Over me
Oh, the telegram is lying on the table
You left it there, you can't believe it's true
God finds you naked and he leaves you dying
What happens in between is up to you
And the luminous rose
Glows
Over me
Over me
