Did you know the Devil has hair ?? In fact, there's a few songs about his hair... this is continuing with the Halloween theme, of course. By the way, there's way too many songs devoted to the Devil and Satan!! We'll have to save them for next Halloween.
PIRATE PRUDE
♥ myspace.com/pirateprude ♥ pirateprude.wordpress.com
Mark Freifeld got the name Pirate Prude from Helium's debut EP (see my article on Mary Timony/Helium).
"Devil's Hairslut" starts off very quiet, and then 25 seconds into the song you hear some guitars. There is this line in the song that goes "To dance with the Devil in the pale moon light" - and of course I just think of The Joker from Tim Burton's Batman (1989).
Pirate Prude's CD will be called "Exile In Circuitville", an obvious nod to Liz Phair's "Exile in Guyville" (which in turns got its name from the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street").
You can download this song, as well as a few others on ilike.

BECK

Beck Hansen really doesn't need an introduction. You can read my review of his last CD on W♥M, and as I suspected, everyone loves him.
The main thing about this catchy song is that it's comprised mostly of samples. According to wikipedia, The drums are from Pretty Purdie's "Soul Drums" and the verses from Them's cover of James Brown's "Out of Sight". The guitar riff was taken from Them's "I Can Only Give You Everything".
I am including "I Can Only Give You Everything" for you to reference.
MOMUS

I really love this Momus song, the "Hairstyle of the Devil". It sounds very Pet Shop Boy-ish, which is what I absolutely love about it.
Check out this great video on youtube. You should also read my Momus article.
The song ends with some lyrics lifted from the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" (see how all this comes around?)
If you know other Satan songs about his hair, let me know.
