When I first heard this song in 1988 I was obsessed with it. I urged the DJ to play it at a party once: you can imagine the looks of puzzlement when the crowd, who had just been dancing to Madonna and Giorgio Moroder, heard, "Box... Head ... Box ... Head!" Everyone stopped dancing and looked at each like, 'wtf???' It was awesome. The DJ quickly segued to something else when he saw the no one was getting it, though. :D
Thank you for posting this rare gem! Somewhere at Mom's house, I still have the single on vinyl. Wow, that makes me feel *old*. Mr. Foetus has taken so many of us through many hard times.
SINK really woke my ass up on Foetus. A pop culture guru of mine gave me SFoTW - HOLE when I was just too young to understand it. To my 15 year old ears it was like White Guys Rapping and to top that off, electronics were just 'not cool'. I somehow came around to Skinny Puppy a few years later and decided to reassess Foetus - and was very, very glad I did!
LOL! Yeah, this was on the B-Side of the Ramrod 12", along with a non-vocal version of Slut called "Smut" (sans Marc Almond). I had no idea there was a version with lyrics until YEEEARS later.
Thank you for posting!!! This takes me way back and loving it.....fuck...why don't bands make music like this anymore??? Black Flag, Big Black, Pig, The Virgin Prunes....Oh....I'm just getting old I guess...LOL.
