The only good thing about Ghost Rider is the awesome lyrics to the Rollins Band song on the Crow soundtrack:
Ghost Rider motor cycle hero
Ghost Rider motor cycle hero
Baby, baby, baby, baby, he's a blazin' away
Like the stars, stars, stars in the universe, yeah!
Baby, baby, baby, baby, he's lookin' so cute, yeah!
ridin' around in a blue jump suit, yeah!
Baby, baby, baby, baby, he's screamin' the truth!
America is killin' its youth!
cause he is cryin', dyin', chokin', drownin'
Going to jail, going to jail, going to jail
I see him dyin'! Dyin'!! Ohhhhhhh
He's ridin' through town with his head on fire
He's ridin' through town with his head on fire!!
head on burnin' eyes all tired
head on burnin' eyes all tired
Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider!!
keep ridin'
never stop ridin'
don't forget to burn, don't forget to burn
burn....with fire!! with fire, fire, fire, fire, fire!
with fire!!!
That just about covers it right there.
Nicholas Cage? Bwahahaha! :D
Egan >:>
burn, motherfucker, burn.
The song's originally by Suicide.
Wow... I'm amazed anyone would cover such a dumb song... And then I'm amazed that I'm amazed.
Them: Hi! Would you like some money?
Well, I don't know how familiar you are with Suicide, but the monotonous drone was their "thing", the lyrics always seemed incidental. A whole album's worth of that steady hum/drone is kinda soothing and hypnotic. Acquired taste I suppose.
> That just about covers it right there.
Or rather, he covers it right there
Wow, the Rollins Band version is so much better. Better being relative and all with such kwality lyrics, but still.
i'm disappointed with the low quality of the 'cover' puns.
For my money, the original by Vega and Rev, or the Siisters of Mercy cover still beat old Hank any day of the week.
Sisters of Mercy version required, please send.
It's also been covered by a lot of other bands. I really want to hear the Soft Cell version, personally.
If you want to hear the Sisters of Mercy doing a medley of Sister Ray, Louie Louie, and Ghostrider, let me know where to send it.
Send to where? It will be on its way as soon as I get clued in...

Someday I hope to learn why a song about Ghost Rider was put in the soundtrack to The Crow. Did someone not tell the band that they got the wrong comic book?
Because the Crow is a ghost? And his motorcycle-riding is a prominent feature of the movie?
Well, yeah... there's that. And the fact that movie soundtracks are only supposed to tell the story of the movie LITERALLY and LYRICALLY when the movie is a musical or an opera. The Crow was neither.
Still, it was kind of like putting a cover of Live and Let Die on the Mission Impossible soundtrack.
Or if Will Smith is the male lead.
Hmm interesting... Though that is just 1 song/movie. Leaving plenty of space for thematically unrelated, or thematically tangential songs.
You know that the song isn't going to be on the movie soundtrack, just like Anthrax's "I Am The Law" failed to make it to the soundtrack for Judge Dredd.
Criminal!
I'm pretty sure American Psycho by the Misfits wasn't on the soundtrack, either.
Inside a wall street mind a psycho lurks
lines of cocaine cut in hell
lots of great "whhhoooaa-oa-oa-oas", too.
This is going to be bigger than Catwoman, I can feel it.
that is a... precarious? Interesting? Odd? choice of words. Though I find it hard to believe that much of anything could tank as badly as Catwoman did. Then again, some people did see Catwoman... didn't they? Something about Halle Barry in bondage straps, which probably wouldn't sell with Nicholas Cage.
from imdb:
On Febuary 26, 2005, she showed up in person to accept the Razzie award for Worst Actress for her role as Catwoman (2004) and became the first actress to do so. Accepting the award, Berry smiled and said "Thank you and I hope to God I never see you guys again."
One of only three actresses, along with Faye Dunaway and Liza Minnelli, to win both the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Razzie Award for Worst Actress (Dunaway shared her award with Bo Derek).
That . . . would be why I prefer Henry's spoken word shows.
then you clearly missed the Henrietta Collins and the Wifebeating Childhaters tour.
<lj user="flyingcamel"> was inspired to write the following song for me:
Tiny Mammoth!!
keep mammothin'
never stop mammothin'!
you're tiny
a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny.... mammoth!!!!
I hear Nicholas Cage took the project because he only had to do two days of filming.
After all, he had to have a clean slate for his magnum opus, the remake of the Wicker Man! *shudder*
you just posted lyrics.
haha
The Raveonettes have a nice song called Ghost Riders on the Attack or something.
