He Said She Said: Fire In The Earhole!, Part 2

Page 2 of 2

Meat Puppets, "Lake of Fire"

The music of the Meat Puppets gives She Said an uncomfortable feeling in her chest not unlike heartburn. It's just so damn bleak. This song reminds her of Dante's inferno, with their quaint lyrical choices, heavy bass and morbid imagery.

Buster Poindexter, "Hot Hot Hot"

Back in the day when this video was in heavy rotation on MTV (when any video was in heavy rotation on MTV, She Said was a mere toddler, and she LOVED this song. It blew her mind (and continues to blow her mind) when she first found out that Buster Poindexter and David Johansen were one and the same.

Queen, "Put Out the Fire"

Look at Freddy Mercury, he sure is aflame on that stage, isn't he? He's just so hot, musically speaking. Wonder what fire, what mad masquerade, he's referring to here?

The Pixies, "Dig for Fire"

She Said is on a major Pixies kick these days and just wants to attempt to slip them into any list possible. However! If you look at the YouTube comments for this video you can see people waxing on and off about the Kim Deal bra shot 59 seconds in. So the passion theme remains.

Pointer Sisters, "Fire"

Last time She Said heard this song it was Thanksgiving, and she was at a karaoke bar in Hollywood called the Backlot just across the street for a major studio. Two girls got on stage and sang the Pointer Sisters' "Fire" with aplomb, and She Said was all DAAAANG. Later, the cast from Glee (seriously!) showed up at the bar and filled up the karaoke list. Imaging trying to sing in front of that kind of crowd.
