46. Misfits - "Bullet"
Yeah, more Misfits. Hey, at least it’s not another Minor Threat song, because I could easily go there, too. How many ways can you offend people in one song? When I heard these lyrics for the first time I could almost hear the collective gasp of middle America. I could see scarf-wearing suburban women fainting in shock, grown men in seersucker suits and military hair cuts banging their fists in anger and demanding death to the Misfits. I mean, my god. Masturbation, eating cum out of your palm, shattered head on concrete — dude, this is more offensive than the time when I was working at the record store and put out a display of Dead Kennedys records on November 22. But really, anyone totally appalled at this song only has to watch the Misfits perform it to see it go from tastelessness to, well, campy tastelessness. (M)
