Good lord this is exactly what Danzig wanted out of these lyrics. To shock and upset. The irony is it's sung in it's such a beautiful way you can't help but enjoy the song.
This song is supposed to be like a dark comedy, shock value kind of thing. It's not supposed to be taken seriously (like most Misfits songs) plus it's catchy as hell.

Morslyte lyrics will never shock me. He’s got an awesome voice and they personify punk to me. My favorite band, Social Distortion, is also classified as punk. I never agreed to that label.
You guys take horror punk far too seriously. Was fun to see your reactions though. Btw, horror punk = punk music with lyrics based on trashy horror movies/horror movie aesthetic. If you look at The Misfits discography, you'll see A LOT of songs named after B movie horror from the 60's and 70's. Definitely not something to take seriously. Danzig's solo project on the other hand... Oh, and Glenn Danzig is an exceptional vocal talent. James Hetfield has even referred to him as a "heavy Elvis".
Lmfao, this soooooo much. The horror element went right over their head. It's purposefully shocking and gorey in its imagery. Fucking funny to see them try and break it down though. They got close near the end lol.
Misfits were just a fun band not to be taken seriously. Judging by the reaction they achieved the desired result 😆 Some people should stick to commercial music.
I can't believe Sori still takes song lyrics that seriously...you react like a church lady ;D...it's like you watching a movie and thinking the actor actually killed someone...c'mon!!!
That's actually one of the reasons but Jerry Only and Glenn dancing to get along Jerry only thought of it as a movie come out have a good time Glen not so much
@@insomniakk I am a Christian, and i love the song. Because its just a song, i also like horror movies because they are movies. There are allot of different Christians i think.
The Misfits were Cliff Burton's favorite band. He had the fiend skull tattooed on his arm and there are several pictures with Cliff wearing a Misfits shirt. Thats why they covered this song.
@@ripperplaysclon152 Metallica said that the LA venues hated punk because of the mess they would make in venues and the venues didn’t know the difference between them and punk therefore they would get labeled as punk by the way they looked and venues wouldn’t let them play.
From Wikipedia: In his book This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits, author James Greene, Jr. interprets the song's lyrics as outlining "the bold confessions of a remorseless killer and rapist", and writes that the lyrics "are delivered by Danzig with such romantic melody that the crimes almost seem like triumphs."
I've never heard of this book and I do love the Misfits but I said the same thing Jerry said it was just a show Glenn thought of it is a lot more but they are his thoughts I guess as he did write the lyrics
They looked like old midwestern grandmas when they heard these lyrics, haha! "Oh my Gosh!" They looked so concerned and shocked. I was listening to this in 1990 when I was 12.
Misfits are the creators of horrorpunk. Basically it is punk with horror inspired lyrics like classical horror movies with serial killers and crazy people. Very typical for this subgenre is crazy lyrics with a happy melody. It should just be seen as music inspired by horror movies though, that's how the lyrics work.
Lol I remember my friends and I roaming the halls of my high school singing this song at the top of our lungs, just to mess with everyone. It's all about the shock value.
People always request this song. But better Misfits recommendations are: Die, Die My Darling I Turned Into A Martian Skulls We Are 138 Halloween Horror Business She Hybrid Moments Bullet Teenagers From Mars London Dungeon Some Kinda Hate Astro Zombies
After all this time, this is still my fav reaction you two ever did. The facial expressions yalls first time hearing this is something I still come back and watch this for lol
Maybe, but Hetfield's voice is solid as well and since their instrumentation is better, I'll stick to the Metallica cover (I know the Misfits version isn't supposed to sound polished or with head-on tempo, don't be mad)
I believe the Misfits were fans of horror which explains the bands mascot. Glen Danzig also was a member of the band Samhain and the band Danzig in which the most popular song from that project would be Mother.
That look on your faces was priceless!!! That look of "Did I just hear that"? " Did he really just say that"? That's exactly what they were looking for! Don't take it seriously. It's just to shock you. Watch the video where there is a bunch of 50's kids swing dancing to this song. It oddly goes along with the song so perfectly. It's oddly satisfying to see. Plus those kids can seriously swing dance! BTW... Relax! Don't over complicate this song. It's just for fun!
Oh...when the uninitiated get initiated. This is danzig writing a love song. Jerry only refused to play this for a long time. How about T.S.O.L. code blue
The lady got so triggered and the dude was like oh shit this isnt gonna be fun 😂😂😂 her face of horror is so funny and the dude is just trying to explain it to her in the most overly philosophical way possible. this is hilarious.
The thing about the Misfits is the juxtaposition between 1950s melodies/ crooning vocals and dark imagery. Your grandma would snap her fingers to the melody given it’s Elvis-esque/ Roy Orbison vibe but oddly matched with it is horror lyrics, hence why they’re the founders of “horror-punk”. It’s detailing story in the same sense that Tarintino makes a movie that’s not an endorsement of his said beliefs. Especially given this being recorded in the late 70s (78), punk is about anti-establishment and the misfits were 1. Very tongue & cheek & 2. Pissing off Reaganites & other moral majority types. Which rightfully so, the religious right held such a strong hold & caused so much misery (ignoring the AIDS epidemic, treating homosexuals as second class citizens, pushing pseudo science in public schools, theocratic nonsense, etc) they deserved it.
You forgot to point out, that your finger snapping granny would then proceed to thump you over the head once she cottoned onto the lyrics, for playing that "devil music" in her house. 😆😣
This video made me die laughing! LOL your expressions while reading the lyrics and hearing the cheery melody was funny as shit! Most people do miss the point... the level of sarcasm in this track is fed by horror for horror's sake - epic. Thank you for reviewing this one... made my day!
Saw your faces in the thumbnail and immediately knew what was coming hahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhaha i've never laughed so hard In the year 2020 hahahhahaha
One of the rare times Metallica's version didnt outshine the original. Danzigs vocals have been described as the Punks Elvis voice. The Misfits main lyrics theme was horror movie based so dont take the lyrics to heart to much. Think of it like Venom and Slayer doing satanic lyrics but they dont mean it its all for shock and being the most extreme. Blame Cliff Burton for Metallica doing this song he was a Misfits superfan lol
@@G.G14 Yeah, and that's why Metallica are big and Misfits, Diamond Head, Mercyful Fate, Budgie and all the others are cult. Listen to the original version of Breadfan and say again that Metallica don't outshine.
Songs, just like books, movies, and other art forms can tell a fictional story without endorsing the subject matter. In general, it does seem that people do seem to have a more difficult time separating this in music versus those other art forms. I've never quite understood why, but it's just an observation I've had over the years. I wonder if it's because of the frequency that you might ingest a song you enjoy versus a movie or a book? Or is it that in a movie or book you don't necessarily see or hear the people that wrote the content, but when you're listening to music there's a more intimate connection with the artist? Think about it though: you have Slayer that has been blamed for years for endorsing some of the dark stuff they write, but the same doesn't seem to happen to someone like Stephen King or a writer of a movie like Hellraiser. If they're all telling stories, what's the difference?
I'm always amazed at how seriously some reactors take lyrics, especially these two. Every lyric has to be a true story about whoever wrote it. And you can always predict what lyrics in any song are going to make them have the wide-eyed shocked look on their face, lol.
The real world is not rosy, children out there suffering and dying right now. It sucks that you dislike a simple song and not the suffering in the real world. 2,700,000 children die of hunger a year, 7,400 a day, 308 per hour, 5 per minute. While listening to this song with their faces of disgust, 10 children died, almost 100 in the video's duration.
Misfits were heavily influenced by 50's/60's pop culture. Their music has that mid 50's to early 60's rock and roll vibe and their subject matter takes a lot from the classic horror, teen rebel, and sci-fi movies of that era. This one always seems like they are totally spoofing those 50's teen tragedy tunes (like Last Kiss, the one Pearl Jam covered) mixed with the Rebel Rock from that time. They just turned the volume up (as it were). This was supposed to be just dark and shocking...like a horror movie.
The Misfits are legends lol. If you are lucky enough to live in a town where they have a show go see them, they are the Black Sabbath of Punk Rock. He is inviting death, he is daring death to come take him. He is doing things that would invite death upon him.
Come on vinandsori that punk does not intimidate them, punk by nature in history has been dirty, hard, cruel, rebellious and transgressive; a style that can go far with few chords and without a guitar solo. I love all styles of rock from hard rock to death metal. Cheers
What makes this song brilliant is it's purposeful shocking lyrical content, juxtaposed with a punk pop sound. Does a director of a film, promote infanticide ala Roman Polanski via Rosemary's Baby? Does a director of the film promote rape ala Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange? First thing to be understood is Danzig's fascination with horror films and thier motifs. These are like the most horrifying themes possible transcribed upon pop music. The contrast is the brilliance. There is a reason why Metallica covered this song and why it's an odd anthem for the Misfits. It's brilliant, head bobbing and horrific all at the same time
Don’t take the lyrics seriously you guys The Misfits literally are all about love. They just exist to put on a good show and brings us the best horror punk that has ever existed. TY for reviewing this one.
I always find it funny that people are appauled by this kind of music but can eat popcorn and watch Michael Myers kill people in horrible ways. It's a horror movie in a song don't don't take it anymore or any less.
OMG FINALLY!!!!!!! Thank you *edit to add that y'all reacted exactly as I thought you would. lol Great song, can't wait for the Metallica version reac now. Happy belated birthday, Vin!!
Your facial reactions were priceless !!! Its a" in your face punk song " lyrics were to shock you !!! 1977. The Misfits songs were based on b budget horror and scifi movies with a bit of twisted comedy mixed in at times. One of the greatest punk bands ever !!!!
II’ve always enjoyed the juxtaposition of this song - the grim lyrics sung with such an amazingly vocal melody is just so perfect to me. Its intentionally shocking and anti social. Its punk 🤷♂️
The most different-from-the-original covers ever: (you're invited to add to the list!) - A Perfect Circle - Imagine - Pain of Salvation - Holy Diver - Tori Amos - Raining Blood (it's basically a new song)
The Misfits' song "Last Caress" is about the reflections of a mad killer who has no remorse for anything he has done1. The song's true meaning is about how nothing matters and in the end, we are all going to die2. According to author James Greene, Jr., the song's lyrics outline "the bold confessions of a remorseless killer and rapist"
I love your reactions. The Misfits did this song for simple shock value. They started in New Jersey 1978. You would both freak over their song Bullet. And fuck Metallica. No band shall top the Misfits

This video made me die laughing! LOL your expressions while reading the lyrics and hearing the cheery melody was funny as shit! Most people do miss the point... the level of sarcasm in this track is fed by horror for horror's sake - epic. Thank you for reviewing this one... made my day!
Saw your faces in the thumbnail and immediately knew what was coming hahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhaha i've never laughed so hard In the year 2020 hahahhahaha
I love her reaction after the "as long as she spreads" line 😂😂😂😂
One of the rare times Metallica's version didnt outshine the original.
Danzigs vocals have been described as the Punks Elvis voice.
The Misfits main lyrics theme was horror movie based so dont take the lyrics to heart to much. Think of it like Venom and Slayer doing satanic lyrics but they dont mean it its all for shock and being the most extreme.
Blame Cliff Burton for Metallica doing this song he was a Misfits superfan lol
I don't think the Metallica version is bad at all.
Well, they didn't outshine Bob Segar either!!!
Metallica don't outshine any original.
Evil elvis
@@G.G14 Yeah, and that's why Metallica are big and Misfits, Diamond Head, Mercyful Fate, Budgie and all the others are cult. Listen to the original version of Breadfan and say again that Metallica don't outshine.
I feel like this guy knew his argument was shit and just didn't want her to freak out lmao
Songs, just like books, movies, and other art forms can tell a fictional story without endorsing the subject matter. In general, it does seem that people do seem to have a more difficult time separating this in music versus those other art forms. I've never quite understood why, but it's just an observation I've had over the years. I wonder if it's because of the frequency that you might ingest a song you enjoy versus a movie or a book? Or is it that in a movie or book you don't necessarily see or hear the people that wrote the content, but when you're listening to music there's a more intimate connection with the artist? Think about it though: you have Slayer that has been blamed for years for endorsing some of the dark stuff they write, but the same doesn't seem to happen to someone like Stephen King or a writer of a movie like Hellraiser. If they're all telling stories, what's the difference?
I'm always amazed at how seriously some reactors take lyrics, especially these two. Every lyric has to be a true story about whoever wrote it. And you can always predict what lyrics in any song are going to make them have the wide-eyed shocked look on their face, lol.
Beautifully written! As an artist i'm thinking about this a lot! I'm on the same page as you!
LOLLLLLLLLLLL yall are my diamonds. Perfect, Misfits-worthy reaction - you went where eagles dare 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha nice
If you want offensive then Metallica's cover of a band called The Anti-Nowhere League - So What ;-)
Yes!!!!
I would say even Crass's song So What too
The real world is not rosy, children out there suffering and dying right now. It sucks that you dislike a simple song and not the suffering in the real world.
2,700,000 children die of hunger a year, 7,400 a day, 308 per hour, 5 per minute. While listening to this song with their faces of disgust, 10 children died, almost 100 in the video's duration.
I love the look on sori face wen the lyrics kicked in lol y'all are reading in to in to much it's just good horror punk
One of my favorite songs of all time. To quote another misfits song "we are the fiend club, not you".
Misfits were heavily influenced by 50's/60's pop culture. Their music has that mid 50's to early 60's rock and roll vibe and their subject matter takes a lot from the classic horror, teen rebel, and sci-fi movies of that era. This one always seems like they are totally spoofing those 50's teen tragedy tunes (like Last Kiss, the one Pearl Jam covered) mixed with the Rebel Rock from that time. They just turned the volume up (as it were). This was supposed to be just dark and shocking...like a horror movie.
Ahahahaha the look of horror on their stupid faces was worth it alone
That's why they call Glenn Danzig "Evil Elvis." His lyrics are evil and that's why we love him.
Your faces! That was priceless. It’s the Misfits, you really do get what you pay for. Epic.
As soon as I saw someone was reacting to this I busted out laughing. This song is gold. The sheer shock and bewilderment was exactly what I expected.
Somewhere Glen Danzig is smiling and giggling to himself in his crypt basement shirtless surrounded by his banned books of the bible
Now this is the Misfits! You should listen to Bullet. this is by far and away better than the metallic version.
OMG I would pay to see that!
Metallica 🤘🤘🤘
Misfits 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The Misfits are legends lol. If you are lucky enough to live in a town where they have a show go see them, they are the Black Sabbath of Punk Rock. He is inviting death, he is daring death to come take him. He is doing things that would invite death upon him.
It’s punk rock. Even a deep and profound message will be delivered as a punch in the face.
You can see this lady's OffenseMeter (TM) going up the longer the song goes, heh.
Come on vinandsori that punk does not intimidate them, punk by nature in history has been dirty, hard, cruel, rebellious and transgressive; a style that can go far with few chords and without a guitar solo. I love all styles of rock from hard rock to death metal. Cheers
Rofl at their faces when they heard the lyrics its meant to shock
I love Metallica's version, but this version will always be my favorite!!!! 🤘🤘🤘. Glenn Danzig just brings that special touch to it as only he can.
when youre listening to a song and your parents overhear the lyrics
🤣 what did they say!?!?
you'll LOVE GG ALLIN!!
LOL oh god, yes!
What makes this song brilliant is it's purposeful shocking lyrical content, juxtaposed with a punk pop sound. Does a director of a film, promote infanticide ala Roman Polanski via Rosemary's Baby? Does a director of the film promote rape ala Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange?
First thing to be understood is Danzig's fascination with horror films and thier motifs. These are like the most horrifying themes possible transcribed upon pop music. The contrast is the brilliance. There is a reason why Metallica covered this song and why it's an odd anthem for the Misfits. It's brilliant, head bobbing and horrific all at the same time
Don’t take the lyrics seriously you guys The Misfits literally are all about love. They just exist to put on a good show and brings us the best horror punk that has ever existed. TY for reviewing this one.
I always find it funny that people are appauled by this kind of music but can eat popcorn and watch Michael Myers kill people in horrible ways. It's a horror movie in a song don't don't take it anymore or any less.
Oh! I can't stop laughing! I knew this was going to happen!
This is not for shock value The Murder Junkies of the 1990s is for shock value and a brilliant lead singer who would die way too young.
OMG FINALLY!!!!!!! Thank you *edit to add that y'all reacted exactly as I thought you would. lol Great song, can't wait for the Metallica version reac now. Happy belated birthday, Vin!!
What a beautiful song masterpiece
Your facial reactions were priceless !!! Its a" in your face punk song " lyrics were to shock you !!! 1977. The Misfits songs were based on b budget horror and scifi movies with a bit of twisted comedy mixed in at times. One of the greatest punk bands ever !!!!
The Misfits versions of their songs will always be better than the Metallica covers !!!!
Pretty sure this is a song about a scene in a horror movie from the 80's
II’ve always enjoyed the juxtaposition of this song - the grim lyrics sung with such an amazingly vocal melody is just so perfect to me. Its intentionally shocking and anti social. Its punk 🤷♂️
It's about a sociopath you sweet, sweet precious beings
Its horror punk, its based on horror and science fiction movies. You both are reading to far into it.
We Are 138!
The lyrics are based on an old horror movie called Last Caress, which the Misfits have several songs like that.
Dont listen to Mommy can I go out and kill tonight.
You guys dont get that horror isnt true
LOVE watching "Today's Kid's" trying to "Comprehend Anyone NOT GIVING A SHIT ABOUT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT"... LOVE THIS!!! 🤣😂😅🤣😂😂😂😊☺😊😎😎😎🤙🤙🤙💯💯💯💯💯💯
Do Anti-Nowhere League So What also covered by Metallica and even more shocking
Shockingly awful.
This band didn't give a shit about your approval in 1979... and they don't now. 💀😎
Do ‘Where Eagles Dare’.
I ain't no goddamn sonofabitch!!!
You better think about it, baby.
Songs that didn’t need commentary 101.
The most different-from-the-original covers ever: (you're invited to add to the list!)
- A Perfect Circle - Imagine
- Pain of Salvation - Holy Diver
- Tori Amos - Raining Blood (it's basically a new song)
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Tools version of “no quarter”
Devo- Can’t get no satisfaction
Wall of Voodoo-Ring of Fire
Is always thought it was about a death row inmate's last hour
Metallica loves the Misfits. It's no way a surprise. Still watching so maybe you end up mentioning it but do you realize this is Danzig?
"Sweet lovely death"
Do some Danzig. Mother or Long way back from hell is pretty good.
She Rides
Twist of kain
Devil's Plaything
Let It Be Captured
Haven't they already done Mother? For some reason I want to say they have.
The Misfits' song "Last Caress" is about the reflections of a mad killer who has no remorse for anything he has done1. The song's true meaning is about how nothing matters and in the end, we are all going to die2. According to author James Greene, Jr., the song's lyrics outline "the bold confessions of a remorseless killer and rapist"
I love your reactions. The Misfits did this song for simple shock value. They started in New Jersey 1978. You would both freak over their song Bullet. And fuck Metallica. No band shall top the Misfits
