In honor of Halloween and the return of the Walking Dead,
how about a sweet little love song...
with an edge?
From the boisterous and lovely Kim Lenz and the Jaguars.
I'm a zombie zombie zombie for your love.
I'm a zombie zombie zombie for your love.
I've lost all sense of reason,
I've no will of my own.
Have you I must.
You know I'm just
a zombie for your love.
I crave your flesh
You know I'm just
a zombie for your love.
Until I'm dust
You know I'm just
a zombie for your love.
When I grow up (ahahaha), I want to play Rockabilly.
There's always been something about the twangy guitars, the upbeat Texas swing tempo, and - good god - the slap bass that holds an awful lot of appeal.
Arguably, the most commonly known modern rockabilly group of the last 30 years is the Stray Cats, but actually there's a huge rockabilly subculture, and host of current bands pursuing the tradition.
There's a rockabilly hall of fame.
There are rockabilly blogs: here and here.
There are online rockabilly guitar lessons. (Yummy Gretsch guitar as a bonus!)
And here's a UK take on the ethos and culture.
This is just a tiny sampling of all the rockabilly culture. Go out and find - or better yet - create more in your own corner of the world.
