don't ask me how i never listened to the misfits until three days ago, but every second of this song was emblazoned into my brain the first time i heard it. the best part is that i'm not yet mad that it's been stuck in my head from the moment i wake up until the moment i fall asleep for those three straight days.
3 whole days, huh? I first heard them about 32 years ago and they are still stuck in my head. I hope it never becomes unstuck. Keep listening. It gets better.
i used to not know the lyrics either but i was automatically drawn to that song, maybe our subconscious pics it up and thats why we like it? Maybe shows how messed up our thinking truly is? Who knows but i always liked the sound and rhythm of the song
I must've watched this thirty times in the past couple months. I can't get over how perfect this is. It looks like they were actually dancing to this song, haha. Oh, if those teens only knew what their dancing would eventually be used for. They're probably all eighty years old now. "The lyrics say WHAT???"
1981 Washington DC all ages punk rock band show at the original legendary 9:30 luv on Fst. Misfits we’re headling and Glen Danzig’s vocals and ODoyle beaten those strings , turned my whole life into something amazing and introduced me to a scene and a culture that I’m proud to be a part of today … I finally met Danzig at Richie Colosseum in MD along with Chuck Biscuits and John Christ 🤘that was way back in 1991 and then when J was an adult I finally worked a Danzig show at tje Warfield in SF 🤘😎🏁 HeLL yeah !!
I remember the very first time I ever heard this song, I had just bought this misfits cd 💿 and I put it on my radio and I went outside to smoke, when this song came on and I heard what Danzig was saying I was blown away and I absolutely loved it, I love Danzig’s lyrics and I love his singing
Holy shit these guys sure are rocking out!! just tickles me that it has such sick lyrics but everyone's smiling and going crazy...some how it fits perfectly, this cheers me up, awesome..nice one!
A killer musical backdrop can transform even the most grotesque lyrics. Another prime example is the 50s/60s "He Hit Me and it Felt Like a Kiss" by the Crystals... even though there was public outcry over the lyrics, it is hauntingly beautiful.
The way they dance is so energetic and they keep doing trick after trick. I don't know if it seems lazy to some people, it definitely is not. Great job!
I hold it together until right at the end when the dancers are in slow motion, but then go right back to full speed. For whatever reason I crack up every time. Respect, bro. This is a masterpiece.
Come to watch this video every once in a while (after a few drinks), and I'm always reminded of a textbook perfect pairing of THAT footage with THAT song. Meant to be.
The point of The Misfits. Those classic, happy,conventions of just energetic rock music. Then add in the dark brutal lyrics and styling of Danzig and his successor. It's true beauty, my friends.
I find it beautiful, the polarity of how evil and brutal the world and the lyrics are , compared to the happiness of the instruments. Its like the perfect sarcasm thrown back at the world.
One of my all time favorite TH-cam Videos the timing is on point with the song. Been listening to Misfits and other punk rock since the 80’s and the music still gets me moving around. My Punk playlist is how I clean my house. 🤘🏼🖤 Sweet Lovely Death… One Last Caress!! It’s such a catchy tune. 🤘🏼😜
This video made me really happy, just imagining they were actually dancing to Last Caress. That would be one hell of a dance to be at it, 50's style and dancing, all to the sounds of The Misfits.
the ramones and the misfits were the two best punk bands to have existed. sex pistols were influential but not great and the clash were more than a punk band.
Couldn't have said it better. The Pistols were a one hit wonder basically, The Great R'n'r swindle was bollocks without Rotten but it had some good songs because of Paul Cook, Jonesy and the one and only Edward Tudor-Pole. We can just imagine what if the Pistols stayed together, what if Glenn didn't listen to the Beatles so he would't be replaced by Simon Ferocious and if the greedy bastard McLaren didn't commercialize everything they did they would've been alongside the Ramones. The Clash are, as you say, more than a punk band. They're not called the only band that matters for no reason, they mixed punk with reggae and other musical (forgot the word sorry). But after Jones left they were fine but not that good anymore. God I love punk
I know people still watch this all the time, so I’ll say this: I have this video to thank for making me want to learn swing dancing, I first saw it in 2012 when I was 14. I went on to learn east coast (this kind, 50s style) and west coast swing and was able to do some of these aerials in a club in college. It’s been a wonderful part of my life since 2015 and now that I’m 26 and miss dancing socially, I always enjoy coming back to watch the video that started it all 🖤 and if you’ve thought about it, this is your sign to find classes and learn to swing dance! (west coast can be even more fun imo)
at first I was a little bummed that the version with this video was all I could find as far as the actual song goes, but now I kinda dig it actually...it goes really well with the song and I have to say I really wish people still danced like that. Immagine entire mosh pits like this...
Can't say enough about this one. Great job of editing to make the music and video match. Must have been alot of work When I was a high school misfit in the eighties listening to the misfits, I could never have envisioned something like this. Thanks very much for your efforts!
Sweet lovely death I am waiting for your breath Come sweet death one last caress Beautiful. I love how these lines out of context sound like a suicide poem, but are embedded into this intriguing slashy punk sound. Can't stop listening.
Man I've been missing out. This shit is like a beautiful blend of 50s/60s style dance music and 70s/80s punk. Its like 90 percent better than most new music today.
I know that you guys probably know this, but I didn't until James Hetfield explained that the very controversial lyrics are about MOTHER EARTH, & not to just a song meant to shock listeners and cause parents to have heart attacks! Actually a very deep song and it was very surprising to hear James Hetfield explain that he wished everyone would really listen to song lyrics. Too many of us only hear the words at their basic meaning and the real message the artists /writers intended to get across. A perfect example of a songs meaning being totally misunderstood is ' EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE' by THE POLICE. Sting wrote this song to describe what it feels like to be a victim of STALKING because he had been Stalked by an extremely obsessed/mentally ill fan. What's crazy is that Sting still gets thanked for the song being "OUR SONG" by couples who believe it to be a love song, and is still to this day played as the 1st dance at weddings!! I always knew even though it is beautiful it is a very dark song, and I knew it was creepy even before my young mind knew what stalking was. Like The Stones 'Under My Thumb'! That's the beauty of music though it has a different meaning to everyone, and the meanings even change throughout our experiences in life.
Been a fan since mid-90s. I would play fast music on my way to the racing stables and sing this top volume with a little weed and the horses would feel every vibe. Paired with this visual, I can see what inspired the tempo. Hats off to the Misfits!
I love the misfits, but for some reason the new age uses their logo as fashion, when they dont actually like the band itself, same thing with nirvana, and a little bid of led zeppelin
A couple of months ago Introduced my girlfriend to The Misfits. She didn’t like them at first, she said they were a bit too dark and gothy for her. I said don’t be ridiculous, they’re a punk band. So I put on last caress, and she loved it. Every time it’s been on since, she’s bopped along. "See I like this, this isn’t dark" Today I showed her the lyrics...
@@runnersdialzero1244 It doesn't sound like there's any warping distortion due to the tempo shifting. Sounds pretty clear, and more fast and upbeat. Also, this version of the song is by far the most viewed on TH-cam, so apparently other people agree.
@Fallacious Insatious I'm guessing you don't actually own any of their albums. If you did, you'd know there's no official edit or performance of the song that's _this_ comically fast. If you like, I can artificially speed it up even more with pirated software like the uploader did.
One of the most relatable songs of all time.
This comment with this account is the funniest thing I have ever seen on the entire internet...ever.
For me it's where eagles dare.
I agree Halberstram.
@@r.c.r.7413 lol
But do you like Huey Lewis And The News?
The dancing fits surprisingly well with the song
BranFlakes oh fuck I know you from television
Its even more than that....the dancing is fucking intense, more so than it could ever be now.
It's intensely physical that's for sure. These days everyone would probably have to wear a helmet.
that's rigth.
Its especially created for this song.
Props to the genius who put this together.
don't ask me how i never listened to the misfits until three days ago, but every second of this song was emblazoned into my brain the first time i heard it. the best part is that i'm not yet mad that it's been stuck in my head from the moment i wake up until the moment i fall asleep for those three straight days.
It did the same to me 😂

Welcome to the Misfits Fandom 🍻
Listen to Walk Among Us album. Astro Zombies etc
Yep, U R A PUNK ROCKER!!!! Now, go get that Skull T-shirt!!!
After seeing this...I get the strange feeling that this is the way most Punk Rock is supposed to be danced to.
It is...
Why not?krysala
Why not?krysala
krysala Skanking (punk dancing) is from the 50s
It is horror punk not punk rock
I miss the old days when songs embraced wholesome family values...like this!

"... I love how Danzig sounds like a drunk Elvis..." pure magic!
Pablo Lobo that's what I love about esrly Misfits. Their like an undead version of early rock and roll!
True hahahha
Coked up* Elvis
same puppet master, different puppet.
Cross between morrison / presley
So *THAT'S* how you dance to Misfits.
of course
Indeed
Surely. This was always a dance of death.
Fr
DUH
This is one of those songs I can play over and over and never get tired of it.
Same
I use to play this song a lot until today, I finally read the lyrics.
i used to not know the lyrics either but i was automatically drawn to that song, maybe our subconscious pics it up and thats why we like it? Maybe shows how messed up our thinking truly is? Who knows but i always liked the sound and rhythm of the song
@Jose Navarro and now you play it all the time lol
@@josenavarro5996 me too i read the lyrics i feel identified and i play it all the time now
One thing I love about the misfits/danzig is it always sounds it was straight up recording from a garage and I just love that grainy sound.
True 👍🏾
Same 👍
That's why kiss destroyer was their best album it sounds like it was recorded in a dirty basement.
Glenn is the man. Still a fan of Graves but nothing like Danzig misfits.
The sounds of my 1980's skateboarding sessions. There is nothing better.
Still sk810
And so on us today and my son! And will my grandson too!
Hell yeah Gary, grip and rip!
Cringe

Those darn kids those days with their dancing and their soda pop and their hot rods!
0okamino lol
Hahaha ❤
I thought this said hot dogs lol
Thank god they aren't hippies, hanging with colored people and smoking marijuana. Lmao!
@@rondohunter8966 wait what?-_-
Let's admit it. The swing/jitterbug scene of the 50s was every bit as energetic and exciting as punk in its heyday. (I love them both.)
Discovered punk rock at age 6 bc my Dad was a 1st wave punk kid. Then found these guys in 1992 at age 14. I have always loved Evil Elvis 😅
I must've watched this thirty times in the past couple months. I can't get over how perfect this is. It looks like they were actually dancing to this song, haha. Oh, if those teens only knew what their dancing would eventually be used for. They're probably all eighty years old now. "The lyrics say WHAT???"
ya, the dance really matches with the song :)
it's truly classical
They either sped up the film or those kids were on speed, be nice to get that, it would calm me
Bro i just said that too...!!! ( i saw this video like 10 years ago )
Oh, I only wish it was longer..

Damn, I saw Misfits at the 9;30 Club 138 years ago too. Good times! I saw them last summer with Megadeth and Glenn still sounds great.
Too perfect. This song always had a 50's vibe to me.
Lol, that was the Misfit's gimmick, 50's b-movies mixed with punk and early rock n roll
Does this song counts as pop punk then?
@@garryrptrit's punk rock.
their sound comes directly from that type of sock hop sound. it matches perfectly. they have a catchy melody along with a crunchy riff. great band.
I remember the very first time I ever heard this song, I had just bought this misfits cd 💿 and I put it on my radio and I went outside to smoke, when this song came on and I heard what Danzig was saying I was blown away and I absolutely loved it, I love Danzig’s lyrics and I love his singing

One of my favourite bands, incredible. They deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame
"I love how Danzig sounds like a drunk Elvis" This is ON POINT 😂😂😂
Drunk Elvis + Drunk Jim Morrison
Always called him wet Elvis 😂
This song makes me smile just because my dad shown it to me when I was like 15 and sharing music together helped us get close
I've listened this pearl 6 times in a row... Now I'm going to have my dinner. Than I'll loop it again and again. Easy.
