Revision as of 03:29, 8 March 2017
- And the Fandom Rejoiced: Bad As Me, his first wholly original album since 2004's Real Gone, was greeted with much fanfare.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: From "God's away on business"
 |
"Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves, lawyers!" |
 |
- Covered Up: Happens to him all the time. "Downtown Train" seems to be the most popular cover choice.
- The Eagles did this with "Old '55."
- Bruce Springsteen with "Jersey Girl"
- Crazy Awesome: Sums up just about anything he's ever produced since the eighties.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: A few examples, but Hoist That Rag stands out.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Poor Edward. "Some still believe he was freed from her, but I knew her too well; I say she drove him to suicide, and took Poor Edward... to hell..." *shudder*
- Also, "We're All Mad Here". Urrrrgh. Don't listen to it late at night...
- "What's he building in there?"
- All of Bone Machine.
- Especially And the Earth Died Screaming.
- Misery is the River of the World. Good GOD!
- His cover of "Heigh Ho" from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.
- Hell Broke Luce from the new album Bad As Me. War Is Hell does not begin to describe it.
- Misaimed Fandom: The interpretations of "Poor Edward." The song is actually about exactly what it sounds like.
- Also, when TV ads wanted to use his song "Step Right Up", apparently without listening very closely to the lyrics.
- Older Than They Think: The gravelly voice used by Rowlf the Dog has been described as a Tom Waits impression -- although Waits was only 13 when Rowlf debuted.
- Paranoia Fuel: "What's He Building In There?", "Buzz Fledderjohn", "Don't Go Into that Barn", and at least two thirds of both Bone Machine and Blood Money.
