Trashed --Black Sabbath:

" The ladies of the manor Watched me climb into my car and
I was going down the track about a hundred and five, They had the stop-watch rolling....
I knew I wouldn't make it the car just wouldn't make it I was turning tires burning The ground was in my sky I was laughing, the bitch was trashed And death was in my eye"

Black Sunshine --White Zombie:

"Gripping the wheel, his knuckles went white with desire! The wheels
of his Mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45. True death: 400 horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night... This is black sunshine." (Spoken intro by Iggy Pop)

Dragula --Rob Zombie:

"Dig through the ditches and Burn through the witches and slam in the back of my Dragula"

Thank you very much.;) I always hear references abt how Debra's song is considered the first rap song, so that may be where I got that stuck in my head. I guess then, her song is the first rap song by a white group/woman. Still, something to be proud of Debbie Harry!!!!!

Don't know if this qualifies as a song, but on the Give Me Convenience Or Give
Me Death compilation album by the Dead Kennedys, during one show Jello Biafra tells a spoken-word story on the track Night Of the Living Rednecks where he was accosted by white trash kids in a pickup truck in Oregon who called him a "f:censored:t" and squirted him with water. He refered to the pickup as a "giant sized Hot Wheels car" with mag wheels and K.C. lights, to which he picked up a rock and threw it at the pickup, causing a huge crack in the windshield! This ticked off the rednecks no end! :eek: :lol: ohno:

Here it is in its full glory!!

Night Of the Living Rednecks
by The Dead Kennedys

Ray's guitar broke. No, we won't play Rawhide, won't play anything. We'll play the theme from the Dinah Shore show. Who wants to be Dinah Shore? Who's alter-ego is Dinah Shore? Oh, his fists didn't go up so quickly this time. Yawn...yawn...yawn. Put those headphones on, it's be-bop time.

I want to tell you a story about the last time I was in Portland. The night before we played at the Long Goodbye. I was walking on the street about 10:30 at night. A lot of people go to bed around here at 10:30 at night. And well, I was walking along when suddenly these jocks in this bright blue pickup drove up. It had KC lights, tractor tires, everything but the CB. It was a life-size Hot Wheels car for some dumb rich kid, right. Well, they drove up to me and they yelled what dumb rich kids usually yell, "Hey, f:censored:t," and showered me with some water.

So, I stood there thinking, what a bunch of f:censored:kheads and picked up a rock. Now, I waited, walked down about a block to where the Kentucky Fried Chicken is, on Burnside, and sure enough they drove around again. They said, "Hey, f:censored:t, where's the nearest McDonald's?" I said, "I don't know," and they squirted me again. So I threw the rock and put a nice-size dent in their giant Hot Wheels car.

They screached to a halt in the parking lot of some department store, who's name I don't remember, it's up the street from Fred Meyer, and they got out their clubs and they ran after me, yelling, "We're gonna kill you, you god damn f:censored:t, we're gonna kill you, you motherf:censored:er!" So I got in a phonebooth by the Kentucky Fried Chicken on Burnside, held my legs straight out like this so they couldn't open the door to the phonebooth.

So they began charging the phonebooth, beating on it with their club, yelling, "We're gonna kill you, you motherf:censored:er, we're gonna kill you, you god damn f:censored:t!" I just looked at them. So, there was a crowd gathering by this time and these kids were standing nearby and they said, "Oh, look at him, he's insane!" I thought, ah-hah, here's my way out. I yelled at them, "Take me to a mental hospital right away. I wanna be be put away. Please put me away, c'mon, call the cops and put me away. Please put me away now." They said, "Alright, f:censored:t, we're calling the police."

So they called the police. The cop comes out and I go, ah, my savior, I'm away from these jocks. He opens up the door, "Get out of there, you," throws me up against the car, frisks me, shoves me in the back. Then he goes over to the jocks, "Now what happened here? It looks like we're going have to take him to jail but we got to have the full story first" So the jocks, who had an ace in the hole, ace in the hole [Take down on the bass, a little bit down on the bass. Yeah], ace in the hole, and they go, "Well, goddammit, the motherf:censored:er put a dent in my truck, a $5000 truck, right, so I got my club, I went out and I wanted to kill him.

I want to kill him. Let me kill him, goddammit. Let me kill him!" So the cop made them go home, and he drove me home, and he confiscated their club and my rock as further evidence. And I thought, so this is Oregon, huh? Tolerent Oregon?

Ray, are you done with your guitar yet? He isn't done yet. So what else do you want to hear, I'm out of stories. That's a true story, too. Just ask Bruce Loose.
