What can I say about this that can't be said in the sound your jaw will make as it drops to the floor?
But 'Rocky Road To Doom' is a pretty cool band name. I would imagine if they didn't get booed off stage that night, they would have sounded a lot like this.
You know what kind of music that is? It's heavy metal music.
ReplyDeleteBRUTAL.
ReplyDeleteCan you spot Fergie???
ReplyDeleteThis is what happened when Kids Incorporated ingested large amounts of mercury...
ReplyDeleteThere's enough horrible Kids Incorp to have its own EIT movie...
ReplyDeleteAnon: correction, it's heavy metal madness.
ReplyDeleteYeaaaauuugh.
More like second-wave symphonic Early Norwegian blackened death metal crust punk.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the Kids Inc kids appeared on screen this entire episode came flooding back into my brain XD
My jaw literally dropped.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they juxtaposed the lyrical subject matter with the cold, discordant Lene Lovich/Euro Synth style arrangement. Very fucking clever.
ReplyDeleteFaint tones of The Dickies ring in my ear.
ReplyDeleteNext stop, Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
Why do I think this is what I imagine if Kraftwerk gets into metal.
ReplyDeleteNow I don't want to get some in Martika's Kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIf not for the sound and that one guy's hair I would have spent the entire video wondering why a bunch of kids got together to form a rockabilly group.
ReplyDeleteis this one of those idoses i've been hearing about, cause I feel like I just sucked on a pineal gland
ReplyDelete\m/
ReplyDeleteThis is what you get when you mix Rick James and B-52s
ReplyDeleteIf Klaus Nomi and Cyndi Lauper had a bunch of kids, and those kids never actually hear metal, only read about it...
ReplyDeleteNot in 100 years could I come up with such bizarre and annoying sound.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a work of art.
This is the perfect choice for SWAT teams to use to diffuse a hostage situation.
ReplyDelete"This is what happened when Kids Incorporated ingested large amounts of mercury..."
ReplyDeleteThe Liquid or the parts from the Car Company? I'm dead serious, this video could result from either one.
i saw these guys open up for Pig Destroyer. it was brutal.
ReplyDeleteIs this what people think metal sounds like? I know some metal fans who would kill themselves if they heard this.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Lene Lovich with an inner ear infection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nu2QX3GU-U
ReplyDeleteWere those kids on the left boys or girls?
ReplyDeletethey all died of AIDS later that night.
ReplyDeleteThis is like unmetal.
ReplyDeleteIt's Ziggy Stardust's recreation of the Village People, only made out of children and insanity.
ReplyDeleteLene Lovich even on her worst ain't that terrible. But it does sound like a Glee-esque cast of tone deaf kids ripping off the eccentricities of Lovich and others like Nina Hagen or Kate Bush.
ReplyDeleteWow, now I know where Marilyn Manson got his chops.
ReplyDeletethat was so terrible it was actually awesome
ReplyDeleteThat girl waaay on the right in the lime green chiffon skirt doesn't seem cut out for metal. With that X she just dropped I'd say she's ready for the techno scene.
ReplyDeleteWhy are they booing?
ReplyDeleteThey were dead on in the intro. It was just like a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteMartika!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You have to be a special kind of terrible to get booed off of the stage on Kids Incorporated. Speaking of special, is there any chance we can get some "Life Goes On" clips on EIT any time soon??????? PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!!
ReplyDeletereal headbangers would probably shoot these little snots.
ReplyDeleteThis song actually rules
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm definitely a fan of Fergie's earlier work.
ReplyDeleteHot damn, I've found my new ring tone!
ReplyDeleteThis song is now on my iPod. It is the greatest metal song ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure this is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
ReplyDeletei guess "post-pop industrial synth madness" just didnt have the same ring to it.
ReplyDeleteThe kid must be up to his braids in preteen pussy.
ReplyDeleteLittle background: this is from an episode of "Kids Inc." where the titular band decides to record an experimental new sound under a different name. As you can see, it didn't go over well. Later on in the same episode, they go back to Bowlderized covers of popular songs.
ReplyDeleteEven so, I thought the song was kinda amazing as a kid because (a) it didn't sound anything like what kids' music is "supposed" to sound like and (b) I couldn't understand the words and therefore was blissfully unaware that this was somebody's idea of what 80's heavy metal sounded like. Also, I was, like, seven.
Listening to it for the first time as an adult, it's absolutely the best song Fergie as ever sung or will ever sing.
You know...this just might be my new favorite song.
ReplyDeleteI kinda wanna have sex with the braid kid...
ReplyDeleteWHAT are the lyrics for that second verse?
ReplyDelete"Cosmic... Interstellar... Freaky... Jeffrey Dahmer"
What??!
This is what bible thumpers here when they think of heavy metal... and never heard of Ozzy.
ReplyDelete
