danced today for the first time in years had to exercise the purge had to get the hate out with the muscles had to join in the chant had to use my strength to fight the sin the sin that burns had to purify with fire had to fight the lies fight the gold fight the body and dance the anger away all with the old gift of song had to pray the negative away had to say yes to CHURCH yes to the WORD yes to the Book no to the violence no to the wars no to the hate yes to the choice no to the machine xo
check out the xpress2 remix of this song for a more now-friendly version. theres also an errol alkan thing like this..oh wait, i think imean his version of 'now i wanna be yr dog'..also good.
@grahamlaur i dunno, you could just as easily take away the conclusion that this song is some sort of endorsement of communism too. though i imagine that they were shooting for a statement about how galvanizing even stupid slogans can be...
@naugjames Agreed. sound and style alone cannot be used to deduce a band's "totalitarian" intentions. But I've read enough know-it-all reviews making intimations that the band "dabbled" in fascism to mention it in my comment.
After this song was released all my Waver friends were convinced Nitzer Ebb was a NeoNazi. Funny now, but back then you could really draw that conclusion from the lyrics.
i remember we used to shout "jump in my pants!" whenever this song came on... ah the silliness of youth. these guys are so astoundingly corn-ball, we loved them to bits!
I can't believe someone mentioned "club post nuclear." That was on laguna canyon road on the way to laguna beach. I remember they play good music I had some outrageous cover charge And there were much younger people tonight. I went there on my 21st birthday. You're not likely to find any other place playing this music just short of driving to hollywood. I wonder if those buildings are still there? I think laguna canyon road has been wiped out twice. That's very sad, but it was fun.
@ck44052 The building is still there, plus there is a Facebook group dedicated to Club Post Nuclear. I went there almost every weekend from 1987 to about 1992. It was the best club in SoCal for the time period...hands down.
@MPetrozzaIsGod no shame in smashin up the mosh my friend..the cult came to perth last year and i reckon most of the dancefloor got dropped of by their kids. not me i live around the corner (im 42, and i dj a more current sound but..). hehe. and i dont own docs, they all got flogged, i wear nike and colours nowadays, whod have thunk it?
This is one of my fave mixes of this song. Saw Nitzer Ebb live in a tiny Tulsa/Ok venue last night. Great inspring show; those guys exhibit so much energy!
My My My Grand Grand Grand Slam Slam Slam Was Was Was Supposed Supposed Supposed To To To Be Be Be With With With Sausage Sausage Sausage Join In The Chant Join In The Chant Fire Fire Fire
I was at Medusa's in Chicago, way back in the day and there were some show punks that actually thought that the song lyric was "busload of hate" I still laugh about that. I saw them in '90 opening for Depeche Mode! I love Nitzer Ebb!
@Satyricon19 Nitzer Ebb mockingly employs the same psychological tactics authoritarian groups use to sway minds. The lyrics are loosely contextual, and even so they remain ambiguous; the repetitive flow of the song becomes almost predictable until a new element in song is introduced and lures the listener deeper into the cycle; concepts begin fusing together (like at 5:28 - 5:30), etc. Well, that's my interpretation at least, and the reason why I love the song... er, I mean, chant.
@eric1012wi I was around in 1988 and I distinctly remember everything on the radio at the time and after that time but the song made no sense to me other than repeating bullshit lyrics over and over enough to make a six minute song to make some cash. That's why terrestrial radio sucks, because somebody stuck a $20 bill in someones pants to get airplay and that idiot played it. Mindless drivel if you ask me.
@Satyricon19 It's not just bullshit lyrics, it's a parody of totalitarianism. Think about the title. It's about how states bludgeon you mentally by constantly ordering you to do things like work, consume, support the troops, whatever.
I think it was like 1992 and I was at the acid trip night at the Orlando Science Center's planetarium for a show and they played this while doing trippy things with the space projector.
This song takes me back going to my first real night club in 1991(club "Post Nuclear",every Saturday nights)when I was an 18 year old HS senior.I also remember the patrons on the dancefloor would point their fingers like a "gun" up when the lyrics,"guns,guns,fire,fire"...
@cabbageatthesun Except that Reznor is older than McCarthy. NE did form in 82, NIN in 88 however. But I think they were both popping acne at the time.
Wow!! This song is amazing.
