Oh, Holy Fuck



Here's the 3rd to the last song in the Corky Red Tail album (although I have 3 more songs after this one to post). In this song, Rudy the Cop has this big bucket of paint and he's gonna throw it on the bust of George Washington at Mt. Rushmore. Verdell and Mogie, in the spirit world, are all, "oh holy fuck, he's really gonna do it, he's gonna do it, he's really gonna do it. This is the best thing that I ever saw - Rudy the Cop is gonna break the law."

Corky's all excited, too, because when his mom sees old George with paint on his face, she'll know it's a sign from him that he's okay in the spirit world. So, in his stoked-ness, he sings his death song, just for good measure.

The sample is of Rudy sayin' "son of a bitch! Iktomi!" See, he sees a spider on the can o' paint and that's what makes him decide to throw it cuz he's been havin' that old Iktomi-Trickster-Spider following him around for the whole movie. He's ready to throw that trickster spider along with that bucket of paint, and all that.

 This is what last week's song sounds like when you play it backwards.

I'm gonna post this link again to the Winona's Hemp page. See, she got to the 100 grand goal (yay), and it would be even cooler if she exceeded that by 25 grand, because she needs to buy farm equipment. Yesiree.


For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.
