satanm is real the louvin brothers

That Orbital song covered by the Butthole Surfers? (WINK WINK)

― David Raposa, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The first two My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult albums plus the "Kooler Than Jesus" EP would be my startlingly obvious answer. "Rivers Of Blood, Years Of Darkness" is a forgotten masterpiece.

Evil Superstars: Satan is in my ass.

Satan Takes A Holiday - Anton LaVey (woman singing, I think Blanche Barton?). Lyrics are great: "The devil started dancing, he was quite entrancing, when he does the jangle his own way, the gentleman prefers to listen to aggrevatin' rhythm, that's the way that satan takes a holiday"

Anton gets a cool "satanic" sound out of that organ, whatever it is.

"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" is the best song about the devil. Actually, that's one of the best songs about anything.

Does hip-hop have its own version of this battle (rapper or DJ vs. The Devil)? That seems a natural.

Question: Was it a sin for Johnny to engage the devil in battle? We never found out.

Now I know we've done this before and not that long ago - we even did the Orbital-Buttholes joke ha ha then too - but can I find the thread? No.

Jazz Butcher: The Devil is My Friend "He bought me 15 rum and cokes and then he went to far..."

Spinal Pap: Christmas with the Devil

Also Jazz Butcher.. not aboutthe devil but mentioned in the title: Walk With The Devil .."with Errol Flynn by your side, and Tallualh fucking Bankhead at your feet..."

hairstyle of the devil by momus (who also did the best song about god: tender pervert

― dbini, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

le diable est anglais - bridget bardot

― fritz, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Sympathy for the Devil" and "Dancing With Mr. D"

― Sean, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden, of course.

― jel, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Satanics' "Hell--It Ain't The Heat, It's The Humidity."

Okay, it's actually not so good.

― Douglas, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the supersuckers - hell city, hell

I know I've heard this kind of thing. Ice Cube's "Fuck Dyin'" (awful piece of shit that it is) features the devil (or maybe it's just the Grim Reaper), but I don't think he raps.

― Dan I., Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

satan gave me a taco

― nelly, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Here are my own additions to the mixtape:

Max Romeo, "Chase the Devil"

Flytronix, "Shadowlands" ("the devil came for him")

Gravediggaz, "Diary of a Madman" (okay, it's about demonic possession, not the devil per se, but close enough and I want a good hip-hop track)

More suggestions welcome. Can someone suggest a great blues song about the devil? There must be more than a few.

Robert Johnson - Me and the Devil Blues

― Justyn Dillingham, Saturday, 12 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Devil Got My Woman', Skip James

'Burning Hell', John Lee Hooker

― dave q, Saturday, 12 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Cosmic Slop', Funkadelic. Now that is some heavy dysfunctional shit. Like a Jerry Springer episode, "Satan pimped my mom"

― dave q, Saturday, 12 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Funkadelic also did "Miss Lucifer's Love", "Wars of Armageddon", and if Robert DeGrimston was a quasi-Satanist, "A Joyful Process"

there's one on the new dmx album...and it's great! x does the devil's voice in this ridiculous high pitched (okay, for him) whine. genius.

re my previous post: found it!

― Jeff W, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Magazine: "The Book" (b-side)

Bryan Ferry: "Sympathy for the Devil" (best version, saved him from Hall's dubious idea of class)

Kenneth Anger: Jagger (real fall guy) soundtrack "Invocation of my Demon Brother" for Anger-film-maker-as-magician contribution to Altamont legend

Kenneth Anger: "Lucifer Rising" music "video" featuring members of various '60s psychedelic bands imprisoned on drugs charges providing music via "prison orchestra"

Blue Oyster Cult: songs + cross/sickle image

― George Gosset, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, and

Sonic Youth: "Satan is Boring" hidden track on CD (to avoid offense) that can only be played backwards (if you believe yr CD player)

― George Gosset, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BJM's Devil May Care (Cause Mom and Dad Don't) or whatever the hell its called.
