I'm listening to the Jesus Lizard again; today it's the live album Show. David Yow's stage raps kill me. For instance, just check out "Killer McHann." That's got to be the best song intro of all time. Way better than Paul Stanley's tired-ass "Love Gun" intro. But even better is the part at the end of the track. I beg you to listen to it. If you can't understand what's being said, here's a transcript:

Yow: I say witness! Mac's monitor has, uh, joined the realms of the nonexistent.

random audience yahoo: Is that like Nietzsche?

Yow: Yeah, that's like . . . that's like Nietzsche. That's like I need-cha fuckin' . . . I need-cha fuckin' mouuuth full o' my cock . . .

Something about his delivery just slays me. The song itself is pretty fun, too.

I know, it's awesome. At lunch today I was driving around campus and playing that part at full blast with the windows down and a look on my face like I wasn't paying any attention whatsoever to what was coming out of my speakers. :)

It also freaks me out that he dedicates a song to his parents, who have supposedly flown in from Texas and are "back by the pool table."

I'm guessing Debbie Harry and David Byrne weren't really there, either.

I'd forgotten that part, but they actually might have been! It was a CBGBs 20th-anniversary shindig, I think.
