I want to be that guy for Halloween, with the Marabou,of course.Peter Murphy is something else. I heard he moved to Turkey, where he resides with his wife and children.Any truth to that?
St. Vitus is considered the patron saint of actors, comedians, dancers, and epileptics. He is also said to protect against lightning strikes, animal attacks and oversleeping, and is the patron saint of Bohemia.
I don't absolutely know for sure. But, i am making the cool and intelligent speculation that it's about Andy Warhol's childhood disease of the same name where you get a fever,break out in rashes and have really bad muscle spasms.
Hi there, St vitus dance was a type of dance back in the roaring twenties America where you just shaked around like a mad thing. One of there best songs agree.
I think it's a reference to the dancing plague of 1518. In Strassburg, a woman started dancing in the city square, and she couldn't stop. Within 6-8 days, 30 people had joined her, and in a month it was 400. The dancers sincerely wanted to stop dancing, but claimed they couldn't. Historians think that it was most likely caused by mass hysteria or bread laced with ergot, a heavy hallucinagen.

It's about chorea, a muscular disease. I'm not going to regurgitate the facts, you can google it. People thought sufferers were possessed by demons.

I often wondered what happened to Peter's vocal style after the Bauhaus.
It seems, without the influence of Ash and the rest, he decided to not be THAT crazy anymore.
