So out two nights ago with a buddy of mine from the UK at Niagara on A when he drops a bomb on me.

The Misfits come on the jukebox and I start to talk my usual bullshit about the Misfits, “they underrated and overlooked” and so forth and so on. He looks at me and says.. Who’s this?

Wow.

Wow.

misfits

Did I say wow?

So the below is a quick five (+ 1) song tutorial on why they are my favorite punk band of all time:

The Misfits - Where Eagles Dare (This is the closest thing that the Misfits ever came to a hit. I think punkers liked this song cause of the lyric “I ain’t no god damn son of a bitch!)

The Misfits - She (A great ’start to getting to know the Misfits’ song, short and sweet.)

The Misfits - Bullet (A song about JFK and how “texas is the reason!”)

The Misfits - Cough / Cool (demo) (One of the first Misfits songs ever recorded. There’s not even a guitar in it.)

The Misfits - Mommy, Can I Go out and Kill TOnight? (live) (Possibly the funniest live track ever recorded, mostly cause how shitty and ridiculous it is. Not to mention the lyric “Girls all say I’m a little fucked.” HI STERICAL!)

And + 1 for the advanced Misfits listener…

The Misfits - Some Kinda Love

CHECK OUT THIS MOSTLY AWFUL VIDEO FROM 1982 for ASTRO ZOMBIES HERE. I think that this is from the “Creepy Compilation.”

(funny story about the creepy compilation, a friend in college had a copy of it. I bothered him for months to let me borrow it. So one night at a party, he told me he brought it. I was so drunk I started telling everyone at the party that the best VHS they will ever see will be shown at midnight. All night I was telling everyone at this party about it.

At midnight we had about 80 people jammed into this kid’s bedroom to watch the “Creepy Compilation.”

Approximately 2 minutes and 12 seconds pass before the room is completely empty besides me and three other Misfits dorks.)
