Ted's Song of the Week - 04/20/05

Straight To Video
Mindless Self Indulgence
You'll Rebel To Anything

Mindless Self Indulgence has finally released their much anticipated album, You'll Rebel To Anything, which makes this contributor a very happy man. "Straight To Video", the album's third track, is only one of many that i could have chosen for the song of the week, but I thought i would give a shout out to what may be a testament to the band's personal growth. While MSI is not your typical radio-friendly band, "Straight To Video" could be one of the few tracks to make it to the airwaves. Haunting synthesizers, steady beats, and the Marilyn Manson-esque vocals of lead singer, Jimmy Urine, create a song of angst and torment.
Other tracks to consider: "What Do They Know?", "Shut Me Up".


Lyrics:

All aboard
Hit the road
All the bullshit
Can't be ignored
It's hard to place
In my face
No emotion

All the problems make me wanna go
Like a bad girl straight to video
Little darling welcome to the show
You're a failure played in stereo

Hiney-ho
Here we go
No solution
Strong undertow
Quite unfair
Quite a pair
No box office

All the problems make me wanna go
Like a bad girl straight to video
Little darling welcome to the show
You're a failure played in stereo

I'm never noticed
No, never noticed
You're so amazing
So amazing
I'm never noticed
No, never noticed
You're so amazing
So amazing

All aboard
Hit the road
All aboard
Here we go

All the problems make me wanna go
Like a bad girl straight to video
Little darling welcome to the show
You're a failure played in stereo

I'm never noticed
No, never noticed
You're so amazing
So amazing
I've never said it
No, never said
You're suffocating
Suffocating
I'm never noticed
No, never noticed
Your beauty's fading
It's F-f-fading
