The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Hell" from Hot (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: For a novelty song, the theology of "Hell" is pretty spot on.
"In the afterlife,
You could be heading for the serious strife,
Now you make the scene all day,
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay…

"People, listen attentively,
I mean about future clamity,
I used to think the idea was obsolate,
Under I heard the Old Man tapping his feet.

"This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body,
Feet are exruded and bones are ground,
And baked into cakes which are passed around…

"Beauty, talent, fame, money,
Refinement, top skill, and brains,
But all the things tou tired to hide,
Will be revealed on the other side…

"Now the D and the A and the M and the N, and the A and the T, & the I, O, N,
Lose your face, lose your name,
Then get fitted for a suit of flame,
Now the D and the A and the M and the N, and the A and the T, & the I, O, N,
Lose your face, lose your name,
Then get fitted for a suit of flame!"
