I'm Insane: Classic or Dud?

Forensic Scene · 12.09.2006, 01:09 AM

I think it is an underrated classic. the lyrics might be random as heel, but damn they sound so genius and flow so well. The guitar noise throughout the song was really unprecedented in their career with all of the static action. I was watching Gila monster jamboree and before this songs kicks into gear, Lee comes out with this pot/gong thing and starts hitting it. Fucking brilliant. Whatd you think?

atari 2600 · 12.09.2006, 01:54 AM

With lyrics and energy like it has?...classic, baby.

I imagine you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone here that would label it a "dud."

luxinterior · 12.09.2006, 02:36 AM

It's good enough. Bad Moon Rising is their best album, and it's not the best track on there, but it does have a fantastic intro.

nature scene · 12.09.2006, 02:37 AM

yeah no shit. It's no dud. It's the first song by sonic youth that, for one, scared the fuck out of me, and two, made me realize that this was more than your average indie, hipster band.

static-harmony · 12.09.2006, 02:43 AM

It is the best song on Bad Moon Rising, fuck yeah.

noisemachine · 12.09.2006, 03:13 AM

yeah, great song. love the dark, erie vibe that song (and the entire BMR album) has.

Bertrand · 12.09.2006, 04:14 AM

It's the track that turned me into them too.

sonic sphere · 12.09.2006, 12:19 PM

it's great

Hip Priest · 12.09.2006, 12:45 PM

It's a fine tune, with lyrics that are the perfect accompaniment.

Savage Clone · 12.09.2006, 12:45 PM

This is a big favorite for me. My favorite SY lyrics ever.

blastscenealibi · 12.09.2006, 12:53 PM

The lyrics make for good usernames.

(and of course hot eyed bride)

Danny Himself · 12.09.2006, 02:02 PM

I love this song. The way it starts... oh man.

CHOUT · 12.09.2006, 02:41 PM

I must be the only one who was disappointed with it upon the first few listens. I thought the title was so cool, but was initially disappointed with the song to what I expected it to be. I grew to dig it, but to me one of the lesser tracks on the album.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 12.09.2006, 02:52 PM

classic for motha' fuckin' shore

schizophrenicroom · 12.09.2006, 03:55 PM

one of my favorites off bmr. the lyrics are fucking rad.

PAULYBEE2656 · 12.09.2006, 05:55 PM

Love starved backwood teaser farm girl hot eyed bride
stone cold blonde a quivering menace atomic wallop wholesale murder
we want out
we fish at night
sex in heaven
tough town
a cruel touch
sailors leave
sirens screaming
lap of luxury
a show of violence
take off your mask
lay off my brother
kiss my fist
stop at nothing
a steaming swamp
and a troubled heart
the sky is red
and i can't stop running
her baby stares
the secret's there
so help us god
i'll swing at your funeral
the stubborn air
the killer mob
a red bone woman
a double cross
big fake bitter love underbelly freezing jungle
one step more he'll stir your senses scratch your surface and nail your head
murded angels
bodies in bedlam
a women scorned
you can't hang me
tied to my job a blast scene alibi tied to a tree in a blind alley
nothing before
a big fear
don't get caught
by her father's friends
swamp girl faded
the tiger's wife
a frenzied love
hot climate
twisted passions
flesh parade
dead ahead
a world so wide
big river love camp
the house boy and hill girl
the agony column
don't crowd me
it's time for crime
strange breed river girl's misery index
inside my head my dog's a bear
she was significant
i'm insane

inside my head my dog's a bear
she was significant
i'm insane

inside my head my dog's a bear
she was significant
i'm insane

inside my head my dog's a bear
she was significant

i'm insane

...nuff said!

ZEROpumpkins · 12.10.2006, 12:29 AM

Love it.

Forensic Scene · 12.10.2006, 12:34 AM

Well I'm sorry if you feel this thread is useless, but in fact, some sonic youth songs are not liked by everyone. This song has been talked down before and i really got into it the other night and wanted to know everyones opinion. Myabe i should have done a song of the day discussion instead of a C or D?

finding nobody · 12.10.2006, 12:34 AM

Thanks for that comment Porkmarras!

Im insane is one of my favorite SY tracks ever. Great beyond any words that I can think to type!

We want out, we fish at night
Sex in heaven, a tough town a cruel touch
