This is my old band from the eighties. Started with good friends Cindy Brolsma and Lisa Jenio. They are the core of CP but the whole thing was already kaput when this album was finally finished. I had to leave out some songs for legal and artistic problems (borrowed lyrics and at one point I segue into "Hey Jude" (what was I thinking?). I just wanted to play fancy guitar stuff...and I wrote the music first to all of them. I came up with guitar riffs. But they are outshined by the lyrics which were inspired by what I was reading, which was some extreme non fiction about child abuse, satanism, teen suicide, incest and serial killers. All hot topics in the eighties. I guess The Shaggs were an influence but so was the Skeleton Crew albums and Massacre's first. I was into all this extreme stuff but wanted to play off of the graveness of the subject matter with childlike vocals. Soundclick is like my graveyard of my dead old bands. Dave Sardy is to blame for making the record sound so good. I miss him. I was really into playing guitar then. I didn't think about vocal melodies too much. WARNING--These songs are very intense and assaultive and dense. I would consume them in small portions. Don't try to listen to the whole thing at once. As one 'fan' said to me "Music is spiritual and your music is oppressive." Plus we take sudden turns from brutal horrors to humor. Abusive music about abuse...Whatever. Enjoy (?)

Story behind the song
The band was well broken up and I needed a song that would get the band attention. I was listening to Page's solo record and came up with this riff. and these were the words I came up with. Kinda like a mantra like "Will you f**k me?' of Gigi Disco Rock. I told Lisa Jenio to just list Zeppelin items. It's a stupid song. Probably owes something to The Shaggs as much as Zeppelin. How 'bout that for a match? It's stupid but the most successful. Most people just listen to that song and ignore the rest of the album which is understandable cause they are worlds apart...but so are parts of my mind.
Lyrics
I'll pass.
