Running down the length of my thigh, Sharona

First album that I ever recall seeing a Parental Advisory Warning sticker on (of course, that would have been years after its release, as those stickers didn't exist when it actually was released), which actually speaks to the goofiness of all the terror about such media. So much censorship in retrospect, so much hand wringing by Mommy and Daddy even though they already grew up hearing these same things themselves, play acting the past as if it was somehow so much less corrupt than it was, than it is.

Original sin isn't new (nor is lust, desire, and uncertainty for that matter), kids. It's "original," starts with the dawn of humankind. Every generation tastes it, then pretends like they never experienced it themselves. Liars.

My wife actually had a copy of Chipmunk Punk (yes, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore do punk) with this on it when she was a kid. And this song ran completely uncut with the Chipmunks singing every line as it was in the original.

And the original is so awfully good. Very basic, very visceral, and so desperate in its post-pubescent angst, the music matches the theme so very well. Desperation, desperation, desperation.
