Excellent.

[klrietmann]

To quote MST3K: "Filmed through chocolate milk."

Watt's on bass, George and Ed on saxomophones?

I like the "A Double Helix Presentation" bit, too.

Love that Charles Bukowski reference

[simpsonicyouth]

What is he saying in the beginning? "Love is ?????? hell"

[myammonia]

bo.. something like darker hell..

[SONICchout]

i hear

love is a dog from hell

[diananavarroo]

Yesss Charles Bukowski book :)

[Cnew11]

at first i thought it was love is a darkened path, but maybe love is as dark as hell?

[scenarihell]

Love is a dog from hell, a book from Bukowski

[beelzabubba]

@simpsonicyouth ===> Love is a Dog From Hell... that's a Charles Bukowski line... title of one of his books, and he often mentioned it in interviews..

[mrsskagtrendy]

@simpsonicyouth yeh its like love is a dog from hell

[palliopp]

the original version is thurston on vox but they changed theyre mind shortly before they recorded the album

[noiseadicted]

i don't think is hard play bass and sing beacause the bass is too simple

[yellow357]

Though Kim sings the studio version, the lyrics were written by Thurston and he sings on all live versions. He typically sang additional lyrics, something like "She knows how to fuck with my head, I wish she was fucking dead".

[sinluna]

wow! mike watt is on stage with them.

[Matto88]

why is thurston singing instead of kim?!?

[SONICchout]

He always sang this song live...maybe it's too hard for her to play bass and sing on it.

[ZRN959]

@Matto88 he wrote it
