  • To continue ... when the I-Dogs broke up in 1975, Don played a tape of the song for then-BOC co-manager/co-producer Murray Krugman, who liked the hook and rewrote the rest of the lyrics, to which then-BOC drummer Albert Bouchard wrote all-new music. This is why the credits read: Bouchard-Krugman-Waller.

    Aside from Current 93, the BOC version has been covered by the Nomads (as the Screamin' Dizbusters), the U.V.'s, Lizzy Borden, and L7.

  • .I wish his enunciation was clearer.

    Exactly my feelings,,,,I love the words but god he is such a weak vox.

  • Swastikas for Noddy :)

  • sweet, i just discovored these guys and i'm hungry for some more. Any albums to recomend?

  • Swatikas for Noddy :)

  • 93 Love is the Law Love Under Will. 93/93 The Greatest Musical Inspiration that developed and cultured my spiritual path. H.'.M.'.

  • Yes, BOC's version is better, but I give Current 93 credit for being aware of this lost classic, and covering it in their own scrappy style.

    When I played this song off the LP on Seattle's KCMU,(RIP) it had a different title, something like "Happy Birthday."

    Maybe they were trying to avoid attention from Columbia Records' legal department?

  • Yes, it's better but this is far more sinister...at least for me.

  • actualy it was done first by the Imperial Dogs in 74

  • if it was done first by them then why are the people from Blue Öyster Cult listed as the songs writers? (Albert Bouchard, Murray Krugman, Don Waller)

  • @AntiMusick Correcto, I use to have the B.O.C. album with that track on it.

  • Tossers

  • david tibet is totally tripping balls in this. awesome

  • I agree with 93current93,but you forgot the swinging chick at the window.

  • boc does it MUCH better.

  • good lord, you can say that again. This sounds like a cross between a retarded Pixies and Sex Pistols on a REALLY bad night. Boo.

  • amen to that

  • ITS JAPAN 1988

  • I think they are using footage from both shows mixed together but the audio is Japan 1988.

  • Current 93, Blue Oyster Cult and The Wicker Man, things don't get much better than this.

  • The new Current 93

    "Black Ships Ate The Sky"

    highly recommended!

  • David Tibet/Current 93 does B.O.C. good!
