Song of the Moment - Bauhaus / Kick in the Eye

Actually, it's "Kick in the Eye 2" I guess. I wonder whatever happened to "Kick in the Eye 1..."

Anyway, this song is one of the top examples I have of the idea of "punk to funk." Second to The Clash's "The Magnificent Seven," obviously (note to self to make that a song of the moment one of these times).

"Kick in the Eye" is such a funky sexy tune with the thrashing, guttural lyrics about Satori that only Peter Murphy could successfully deliver. You want to dance and you want to growl. Is there anything more perfect than a song that makes you want to fashion a goth fro? I don't think there is.

If you don't want to take your clothes off to this one, then I feel sorry for you.

I'm only putting in one video this time because this is a live video but it's on one of those shows that forces play to studio recordings (or it was dubbed that way by the guy who uploaded the video.).
