I'm doing great. Who are you?

[A]

For Halloween, My mother sucks cocks in hell. I don't fuck with Damien Karras. I don't fuck with. I don't fuck with Father Merrin. My name is Pazuzu. Some know me as Reagan. How about you?

[B]

I'm Gwen Danzig.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I'm Gwen. So, you know, things are a little, little different here. I was asked not too long ago what my drag name would be, and it just hit me. Gwen Danzig. Thank you.

[A]

Pretty unbelievable.

[B]

Thank you. Yeah.

[A]

You would clean up, dude. We gotta get you on Drag Race.

[B]

Do I look good?

[A]

Feel good, dude. So. So. Anybody watching? None of us. Neither of us knew that we would both be iconic women. Really?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm not a woman. I'm just in drag. I'm Gwen Danzig. I got the Sabrina Carpenter wig on that is hotter than hell right now.

[A]

Mine is called New Share, and I cut. And Lana cut the bangs for me and did the makeup. This is actual pea soup. It smells fucking horrific.

[B]

It looks really good.

[A]

Thank you. Let Jesus fuck you.

[B]

You look really good. Look, I even have little upside down cross necklace. You can't really see it.

[A]

Oh, I wish I had that.

[B]

I know. Yeah. It's for you. Right. Finding his. All right. So what are we doing today, Colin?

[A]

Well, you have a surprise for me, you said in terms of what we're doing.

[B]

Explain the concept first, and then I'll give you the surprise.

[A]

Okay, so here's what the basic bones. Guys. It's Halloween.

[B]

It's Halloween.

[A]

Tomorrow's Halloween. So today it's Halloween. And people are gonna be watching this 20 years from now. And we hope you're watching it on Halloween or around Halloween. Because in the spirit of Halloween.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We are going to be ranking every Glenn Danzig Misfits song.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

Ever written.

[B]

I have a whole list. Here is my idea. There are 57 songs.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

S tier. We are allowed 10.

[A]

Top 10.

[B]

10. But then listen, listen. A tier, 11. B tier 11. C tier, 12. I think it's D tier or E. I don't remember if it's D or. Either way, 13. We have to put the 13 worst songs. Like, we have to adhere to the. To the tier list.

[A]

Even though some of these songs in F are going to be great rock song.

[B]

Some of the best songs ever written. That is my idea is that we have to stick to a set number for the list.

[A]

Oh, just for this. I like that. This light was off. Now it's.

[B]

Dude, how much is wearing a wig suck?

[A]

Please, please.

[B]

Didn't she smoke like a bunch of cigarettes and stuff to do that? Like, every take was like half a pack of cigarettes.

[A]

Was that. Was that.

[B]

No, it was. It was. It was an older lady. So as I said, we have SABCD 10, 11, 11, 12, 13. That's. It doesn't. Doesn't break down any cleaner than that, unfortunately. But that's what we're doing. Okay.

[A]

Well, none of them are F, you know, so true.

[B]

So also, the way that I found this list, it's like every. It's the first appearance of every song according to the record. So let us just for the sake of doing this, assume it's your favorite version of the song.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I like that because otherwise it would be. There's like 120 songs, of course, and.

[A]

And I. I love certain versions and kind of like others, so.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So we're just gonna assume it's the 12 hits ones or whatever, the good ones that we like.

[A]

Up first, the first song, Static Age title track.

[B]

Static act.

[A]

Static. Yeah.

[B]

I. So I love.

[A]

You're a big Static Age guy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This is not Top Upper Echelon Misfits to me. Just fine. The title track, I think, is a good song.

[B]

Blue from Projections too. I know.

[A]

I think for now it could go. It could go. I'm thinking about the limitations here.

[B]

Yes. So let's throw it in B for now.

[A]

Throw it in B for now.

[B]

It's fine.

[A]

It's totally great song. Good song. Now, upper Echelon dancing or.

[B]

I also tried to mix these up as much as I can, but there was no randomization. So it's just me dragging and I have fake nails on. It's really hard. Devil lock up next. What? What?

[A]

Attracted.

[B]

No, that's. We bite.

[A]

That is we bite. I would say this. Damn.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We get 11A.

[B]

11A.

[A]

Like, my natural instinct is this is A. Let's put it below Static Age.

[B]

I agree, I agree. In C or just after in B.

[A]

Okay, right there.

[B]

Sorry. B. Yeah. All right.

[A]

Now, Hollywood Babylon.

[B]

This is another One of those weird 70s songs that I love. Like I love this is.

[A]

This is a easy.

[B]

Okay. Excellent. It's heaven. Heaven coming on her chest.

[A]

Skulls is up next.

[B]

Skulls I think is probably one of their best songs.

[A]

Like this is an easy easy S.

[B]

Easy S and like possible top five. It's like a perfect song.

[A]

Yeah. This is the. The melodies are so comfortable to sing, so pleasant. The chorus is an instant brainworm. You can hear this one song and no, I want your skulls. I need your skulls.

[B]

Also if you really think about again we talk about this all the time. It's like how did you know how to do that? But he's doing a four chord song. He's doing blink when he do and then. And that's the question.

[A]

I hypothesized that all vocals were written first and written were written around them.

[B]

How do I do that?

[A]

Yeah. Exactly. It's just like play. Play me something that works under this. Skulls is easy S. Okay.

[B]

I. I could not agree more. Boom baby. Look at that. So yeah. Angel is next.

[A]

The.

[B]

Is so high.

[A]

So high.

[B]

Crazy.

[A]

It's not as high as attitude. I've learned over the past few weeks but so totally singable. Love this song. I would put it over Hollywood Babylon.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

Personally. How about you?

[B]

I don't know. It kind of depends on. I don't maybe. I don't know. That's a really tough one. I think it's probably.

[A]

Here's the Angel Fuck is under two minutes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it just kicks ass and is raging. Hollywood Babylon is like three.

[B]

It's long. Yeah. It's kind of menacing.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. But I like. I mean obviously spooky song but I would say Angel Fuck is like I'm always impressed by doing more with less and I think this is like they're the best band that ever did that. You know.

[B]

Wow. They did the most with the least.

[A]

The most with the least and something like Angel Fuck what that accomplishes in you know, 90 seconds, 97 seconds or some shit. Okay. I. That I look at that and I go that that's a. That's a better song.

[B]

Okay. You know next up is she. This is one of the only ones where there's a double because I think the cough cool version of she is a standalone version of.

[A]

That's a different song.

[B]

Yeah. Right. So. So I have it later on. It's separate.

[A]

I I'm with you. I. The static age version obviously smokes it. I would like personally. God. 11A.

[B]

11A. Yeah. This. This is. This was my. My I Want to play a game? Jigsaw twist is I. I had to come up with a way cuz otherwise they're all sna. Maybe Rat fink would be low, but.

[A]

Rat fink would be easy. D. Why don't you go ahead and put Rat Fink top of D right now?

[B]

Should I find him? Where's he at? There he is.

[A]

Let's just go and look. It's a cover, you know. Yeah.

[B]

Is it even? It like. What. Who wrote it?

[A]

Yeah, some fucking guy. Here, let me look it up.

[B]

Yeah, I thought it was like a. Like a cartoon. Like, I truly don't know the character.

[A]

The character is obviously cartoon, but the.

[B]

Right.

[A]

The Ames brothers. Okay.

[B]

I look great. It's crazy. Yeah, it's like.

[A]

It looks fantastic. You would go platinum on goth talking, you know. Thank you.

[B]

So she. The real version of. She also has a crazy belt. The Shayla is really high.

[A]

I would put this. This is like boron S tier to me.

[B]

Yeah, I kind of agree. It's like probably the top of a. Like, see what pans out.

[A]

Let's put top of top of it for now. Okay.

[B]

Now this next one I have. I've told the story before, but it obviously applies to this. I got a rip originally of Static Age that. That sometimes back in the day when you would put songs onto a classic ipod, you would lose the last song.

[A]

This was the lost song. So you. You had a version that did not have.

[B]

That just didn't have it. That's. That's what it was.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

And then it wasn't until the. The coffin set where I actually got that. That did happen with Carryon, though. The Lifeless Plague, the last song. Rethinking. I just never had rethink.

[A]

It's insane in the Doorway was an actual lost song.

[B]

It's awesome.

[A]

It's. It is awesome. It's one of the. It's like. You see why it's lost in a way.

[B]

So I wonder if it's recency bias, because I really, really like it. Like, I think I like it more than Hollywood Babylon. Truly. Light in the door and shine it so bright. I just like it. I think it's cool. But maybe it's bias. Maybe it's just because it's a new misfit song. To me.

[A]

I just think about, like, what is iconic, you know, I. I wouldn't put this over Devil Lock. To me. To me.

[B]

Okay, okay, okay. I mean, you're right. It's not as iconic.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I love that song, though. To me, it's like his most Elvis ish song.

[A]

Yeah, that's fair.

[B]

I don't know. There's something about it.

[A]

I just.

[B]

I really like it. Next up, we got Earth Ad, the title track. And it's good.

[A]

Yeah. I would put. Real good. I would put this between she and angel, personally.

[B]

She and under.

[A]

She. Over.

[B]

It's got that.

[A]

Let's go.

[B]

Like, the cool intro. Earth Crisis covered it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's all I got.

[A]

This is. This is a Japanese hardcore song, you know. Whoa. It's awesome.

[B]

I wonder if Glenn. Glenn, my brother.

[A]

Guns Are God, he says.

[B]

That's what he says. Yeah.

[A]

Guns and God.

[B]

Wow. Okay.

[A]

It's different everywhere you read it. You never know what the fuck he's actually saying. But I think Guns Are God is actually. I put it in there.

[B]

All right, next up, Mommy Dude. S. Dude.

[A]

Isn't it, though? It's insane.

[B]

And the whole story about, like, he was sick and they just woke him up for the counting of this song for the mummy. Yeah, that's it. And then he was pissed that it was fast.

[A]

Dude, the whole thing is, like, way faster than he wanted it to be, right?

[B]

Supposedly. But, hey, in the Sam.

[A]

In the Samhain boots, like the live set boots. It's not much slower, so I wonder if he was just used to it or.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

I don't know. We'll see.

[B]

Rip the toes with little girls. I get the toasted teeth every night. Like that whole part.

[A]

Very, very psycho vibes, you know?

[B]

Very psycho Drum part. Slayer. It's Lombardo, like, all the way. You know what I mean? It's the. It's in there.

[A]

I know it also one of those. This is in the universe of songs that immediately start with vocals, you know?

[B]

Oh, yeah. Dude.

[A]

Dude. So sick.

[B]

Dude. It's. It's so good. Yeah, I agree.

[A]

Easy. Yes.

[B]

Now, next up is We Bite, which the chorus of We Bite is one of the coolest.

[A]

One of the few moments of, like, true melody on Earth.

[B]

AD on Earth. Adam. And also there's backup. I mean, I think it's just Glenn, but there's backup for some of the Wii bites. Where my whole life I thought it sounded just like afi. Like, like, tonally. I thought it sounded like Davey. So I. I just always had a weird soft spot for this song.

[A]

I would put it over Earth. ID.

[B]

So far?

[A]

Yeah, we're doing good. It is.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like this list. Wolf's Blood. I confuse this with. Yeah, I confuse it with. With Blood Feast.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Which is a cool, creepy song.

[A]

I would Say C tier.

[B]

Okay. I don't think I even know how it goes off the top of my head. Truly. I'm sure if I heard it, I would know it. But yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

C tier. All right.

[A]

Good song.

[B]

Good.

[A]

So, you know, sacrifices must be made.

[B]

Must be made in honor of what is truly sacred.

[A]

Attitude.

[B]

The one you put it.

[A]

I would say it's an incredible. It's a great written song. It's a great piece of songwriting. It's iconic. It is. It is like bigger than the band at this point because of all the.

[B]

Covers and Guns N Roses covering it.

[A]

It's. I would put this below in the doorway, honestly.

[B]

Wow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

[A]

You feel me?

[B]

Yeah, I do. Low in the door.

[A]

There's just so many things I prefer. I would prefer to listen to.

[B]

I love the. The note that hangs on the attitude in the background. It's awesome. It's awesome. Because that's just him just like, I'll throw it on them.

[A]

Attitude. Violet World is up next.

[B]

Violet World.

[A]

You know, I love the 12 hits version. So I'm thinking that in my mind.

[B]

I'm thinking I would put this. That's right. That's correct.

[A]

I would put this probably under Hollywood Babylon, bottom of A.

[B]

Okay, maybe.

[A]

Maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe not. I'm looking at Devil Lock and be.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think it's maybe below Devil Lock. Yeah.

[A]

Like that. Yeah. Hellhound.

[B]

Another one. I just don't know off the top.

[A]

Of my head, it's just like this is the. You get to the non melodic section of Earth A.D. yeah. And it's. It's C tier.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So you know. Yeah.

[A]

Wolfsbud is a better song to me.

[B]

Okay, that works for me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Next up. You and I were just talking about this the other day. What a first song, man.

[A]

Yeah, first song. His instincts were already defined. Cough Cool is the first song the Misfits ever wrote. And it sounds like there just wasn't a guitar in the studio that day. So they were like, all right, let's do this. As they credit it. Electric sync piano.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Performed by Glenn and dude, the first version sounds like the best drummer the band ever had.

[B]

It was a drum machine, I believe.

[A]

I think the second one sounds drum machine. You think the first one was drum machine.

[B]

One of them. One of them for sure is a drum machine. So maybe I'm.

[A]

The first one sounds like some Scatman on the kit going fucking Ham at the end. Like some jazz guy.

[B]

I. I mean, this song was written when. When he had just gotten, like. I think he wrote it while in high school, and it was recorded crazy. Like, I think Jerry was still in high school when they did this song.

[A]

This corner full of piss and fear. Dude. His instincts were, I know exactly what I want this band to be and what I want to sing about. It's gonna get more extreme. It's gonna get more punk, but this song is unbelievable. It's so ahead of its time. The COVID that we just did of it is my favorite thing we've ever done of any of that stuff because it has so much room. It's. It's. There's so much atmosphere in it. It's dramatic the way it just kind of tails off at the end and they jam and he's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Brilliant song. Top of A.

[B]

Okay. I would put it at better than the better version of she, so that makes sense to me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah. It's a $10,000 seven. You know, the song's got to be pretty good.

[B]

All hell breaks loose.

[A]

All hell breaks loose. I would put this under Violent World.

[B]

Oh, see, now, I like it more than Violet World, personally. And I see. I love the 12 house.

[A]

I love the 12 hits I got you. And I think, is there a Sam Hain version of All Hope Breaks Loose? I think there is, and I think I like that more.

[B]

Yeah, I know there's horror biz, for sure.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Horror biz is hilarious.

[B]

And it's so different.

[A]

We'll get there, but it's so weird. Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Let's put it over my world. All right. I'm thinking of the. The Samhan version, and it can be over. Okay. Oh, gee. She.

[B]

Yeah, we're back to she, which is also crazy. That, like, second song then went on to just stay with the band, you know, like static age.

[A]

But still, I do think there's such a stark difference in quality between these two versions.

[B]

He sounds real good on this version.

[A]

He does. But it needs guitars to work. It's so goofy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So goofy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I would either put this bottom of C or top of D thinking about what is coming.

[B]

So the reason this is confusingly on Beware is because that's the first time horror business was released as opposed to on the horror business.

[A]

That's cool. So, I mean, if you read about Beware was a very real thing. It was UK only.

[B]

Yeah, something like that or something. Dude. It's really weird to think about how the first three years of the band were all these kind of 70s, weird, static age things, and then Once they really started touring and doing. Doing stuff, they turned so aggressive, fast punk.

[A]

Because they saw what was happening. Yeah, dude, fuck all that old shit. We want to be two years later. We want to do this new stuff. Or biz is easiest.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

To me all day. Dude, I. I love Psycho 78.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You don't go in my bathroom with me, I'm gonna put a knife in you. Right in you.

[B]

And that. It's like. That's the DNA of every Misfit song. Fantastic.

[A]

Come on, dude.

[B]

You kidding me?

[A]

That's easy ass.

[B]

Okay. I'm with you. I love it.

[A]

You're with me?

[B]

I'm with you. I love horror biz.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Gwen Danzig loves horror business. What does that next one say? God damn it.

[A]

That says Children in Heat.

[B]

Oh. So this is my. This is like my Dark Horse favorite Misfit song.

[A]

Wow. Okay.

[B]

They all change their names to Chicago because they're so much that it's a great fire. Come on, dude. Yeah, that is. That is my. And then the what? The dance beat.

[A]

Are you saying S?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah, it's. It's for real. Like my favorite non obvious deep cut.

[A]

I, I, I. Utmost respect. So let's. Let's put in an S and we can reassess everything later.

[B]

Yes. We can put it at the bottom because the next, like, five are all dope.

[A]

We got another S coming right now.

[B]

How did he do this? This is a genius. It's a 50s doo wop song, but.

[A]

It'S some kind as fuck.

[B]

Some kind of hate is what we're talking about. The bag. It's in the eye of love.

[A]

Or. Or Iron Lung, you know?

[B]

Is it Iron Lung? I thought it was I of love won't cut.

[A]

I think it's both, but I. But I've always. I hear Iron Lung, you know?

[B]

Interesting. Okay.

[A]

And maggots in an iron lung. Can't copulate.

[B]

No, Definitely not. No.

[A]

I have.

[B]

Lord knows I've tried some kind of.

[A]

This is Easy Ass.

[B]

Yeah. It was also one of the first. One of the first songs I learned on guitar because it's three chords, you know? Yeah.

[A]

Putting the greatest wow part in history, maybe. Oh, I said die, die, my darling.

[B]

Never been a huge fan. Yeah.

[A]

I don't care about it.

[B]

Don't.

[A]

I don't care. I would say Wolfsblood is a better song. I would say she. Oh, gee, she is a better song.

[B]

Yeah. I agree. We could throw this in D and I won't really. It won't bother.

[A]

Put it in D because we got it. Yeah. We have to. We got to put something in there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Teenagers from mall. Then we don't care.

[B]

We don't give.

[A]

We don't give a fuck.

[B]

So cool.

[A]

Pop.

[B]

Land in barren fields along the Arizona planes.

[A]

Here's. Here's my beef with teenagers from Mars.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

If they really didn't care would they have bothered coming to Earth? You know, we don't care we traveled across the galaxy to be here but.

[B]

We don't care we take your weak resistance Throw it in your face no, you don't.

[A]

But I love this song. Top of A.

[B]

Top of A. Yeah. I think it's better than all of that. Yeah. Easy now this next one.

[A]

We don't care. This has got to go. This has got to go between skulls and Mommy maybe.

[B]

Yeah. I. If not just top.

[A]

Top. Yeah. It's unbelievable.

[B]

The Where Eagles Dare off of Night of the Living Dead is. Was its first appearance. I can't.

[A]

Masterpiece.

[B]

It's a masterpiece.

[A]

Masterpiece. Yeah.

[B]

It'S.

[A]

It. This is. This is like top 10 punk rock song ever written.

[B]

Fully agree. Do I know.

[A]

Goddamn son of a bitch is one of the greatest hooks of all time.

[B]

You better think about it, baby.

[A]

You better fucking think about that. And like, hey, I'm not going over there. Like, we're going over there. But you can't go there. Only the Eagles and me there.

[B]

That's it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. Just.

[A]

You shouldn't go there. Death comes ripping his next. Dude, this is.

[B]

What's funny is this is like these songs. Death comes ripping, all hell breaks loose. Green hell are all like, Green hell rips. There's all the Metallica shit, you know. Yeah, that's. That's like. They loved that stuff. It just never really. I didn't listen to Misfits at first because of the thrash stuff. I listen to it for the hooks.

[A]

Oh, man.

[B]

So this is a hook.

[A]

This is a killer hook. Whoa. That comes ripping.

[B]

It's got. I mean, it's got a hook.

[A]

You know it and you know it.

[B]

It's not as melodic as they can be. Which is for sure what got me about the Misfits at first.

[A]

To me, this is right under Teenagers from Mars.

[B]

Okay. Really? That's high. That's high. I would. I would.

[A]

Ah. Yeah. I mean, I would definitely put it over. We buy Over Earth ad and over she. We could put it under she.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Little compromise. Whoa. We're gonna have to reevaluate this whole thing. Oh, yeah.

[B]

The chord resolve on the.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

It's like a really satisfying musical Thing. So I do like that part quite a bit. Yeah.

[A]

You feel the heaters.

[B]

All right.

[A]

So easy to sing, which is awesome. Okay. Last Gonna be.

[B]

It's controversial. I. I've never given a fuck about this song so la.

[A]

But as a song, as a piece of songwriting, it is absolutely, undeniably great. It's crazy, dude.

[B]

I think it's a good. I do think it's a good song that I'm for sure over. Because it's played out. No.

[A]

And that's fine.

[B]

But I. I do. I do think that so many of their songs are just better.

[A]

I. I completely agree.

[B]

Yeah. Okay.

[A]

But I'm just looking at this from, like, after playing this for now two years. It's so perfectly written by this guy who somehow knew what he was doing. This is 1978.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, that's fucked up.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

No, I. I know very few people that can write a song this good now with all the. The resources and assets and the world at their fingertips.

[B]

Where you. Where are you putting it?

[A]

I would put it in s. Not even in a way that I think it's better than many of these songs. Like, objectively, I'm looking at this as a piece of music, not in terms of favoritism here.

[B]

Really? That's even more surprising.

[A]

Yeah. I just, like, look at it. A stranger on the street would be blown away by this song. Hearing it for the first time.

[B]

I mean, it was probably the first one I heard. And I remember the ridiculousness of the lyrics was what made me go, whoa, this is crazy. It wasn't a musical thing.

[A]

And you're just over it now.

[B]

I'm for sure over it. But, like, the difference is Mother is a song I've heard a billion times. Crazy Train, a song of love. It never gets old.

[A]

Train's unbelievable.

[B]

You know what I mean? So it is kind of one of those things where it's like. I don't know. I've heard where Eagles Dare a thousand times. Or it's true.

[A]

And it's so good.

[B]

So good times.

[A]

Let's put it under Teenagers from Mars.

[B]

Okay. That's. That is even. That is like a compromise in my purely. My list.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But. But I'm happy with that. I. If I was doing.

[A]

I think it's an objective S. You know?

[B]

Yeah. I just. I think they have more objectively S. Songs. And because we are sticking within the confines of this discussion, de facto, I think it moves down.

[A]

Okay. You're right. You're right.

[B]

When I. When I saw the OG misfits, open. Which they open with 20 eyes. I immediately began crying. Just immediately. Like I was like 20, like immediately. I love the 20 eyes.

[A]

That's so cool.

[B]

This was 20 eyes. Like that's how we started was they walked out. They did their. Jerry just said this was 20 eyes. 1/3, 3, 4. And it was just like, oh my God. Oh, this is the coolest thing. So I'm. I'm a huge 20 Eyes fan. I think it's an incredible saying.

[A]

You saying S. Are you saying top of it?

[B]

I think probably. Top of a probably.

[A]

Let me look at.

[B]

I want to be really fair because.

[A]

The next one, I wouldn't put this over some kind of hate. I would not put this over horror biz. I would not put it. I would put it over children or Heat, honestly. But. But that's your.

[B]

That's kind of my passion pick. Dude. I love that song. Yeah. I really love that song. But I'm. I'm going to be fair and if I think one outweighs it, I will move it down. So I think 20.

[A]

Like let's put it over Children heat for now.

[B]

Okay. Okay. Now this one's going to fuck us up, dude. Goals well Snide out probably has unreal. It probably has the coolest chord progression and like once used melody of any.

[A]

I think it has the. The best key change in a Misfits.

[B]

Hell is where you wanna be that. I don't. I mean I think you're right. I think he. He came up. He's like, oh, it'd be cool if it went like this.

[A]

But Yeah, I can hear that 50s song that did the same thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And was like, I want to do something like that. It's the same thing we do. You know. Everything comes from somewhere. And Ghouls night out is. I will put it not S. Top.

[B]

Of a. I think it's. I think so here's me being fair. I think it's a better song than Children in Heat.

[A]

There you go. I. I completely agree.

[B]

Maybe 20 eyes too, actually.

[A]

Yeah, I would agree.

[B]

I think right here is like a good spot for it.

[A]

Yeah, I like that.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. Hotel off of the release.

[A]

I Love, love the 12 hits version. So it's this version. Technically. Is it better than Hollywood Babylon? No, Hollywood Babylon's a little low for me right now.

[B]

Is it? Now that I'm reevaluating it, I think. I think Hollywood Babylon might be over Earth AD Might be over Death comes ripping.

[A]

Yeah. No.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Put it. Put it over. Put it over. We bite at least because Death comes Ripping is insane.

[B]

So where's horror?

[A]

Horror Hotel, I think, is going over static age all day.

[B]

Big B. Okay.

[A]

Yeah. I think Violent World is over static age, too.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

After some careful thought, what do you think you love?

[B]

I. I do love static age, but that's just my. You know, I like the weird misfit stiff stuff. But we're going to get to more. We don't need to. Yeah, Static age is weird. Weird in the sense of, like, Jackal and Hollywood Babylon and all that.

[A]

Yeah, dude.

[B]

Now, not to be confused with the Horror Hotel, the Devil's Whorehouse.

[A]

What?

[B]

She loves carnality, you know.

[A]

Ah, this is tough. This is getting tough.

[B]

Yeah, it's gonna get hard. Because right now, for anyone just listening, S Tier has seven, eight. Seven, eight songs. So we're Kitten.

[A]

Devil's Whorehouse. And this is gonna get hard. If you're in the Devil's Whorehouse, you're gonna get hard. Devil's Whorehouse. Better than we bite. To me.

[B]

How does. How does the chorus go? I can only think of. She works at the Devil's Overhouse.

[A]

What is the chorus?

[B]

Yeah. Oh, it's.

[A]

Come on, dude.

[B]

That part's amazing. Okay. Okay.

[A]

Which is better than we buy. Better than we buy.

[B]

Okay. That means that we buy. I think. I think because of the one extra one, we can actually do. 10, 11, 11, 11, 13.

[A]

Okay, cool. Spinal remains. I'm really curious where you're putting this.

[B]

The old spider Remains. I think it's kind of a boring song. This isn't real life. Like, it's cool.

[A]

I would. It's fine.

[B]

It's fine. It's not a favorite.

[A]

I think it would be bottom of.

[B]

C for right now. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

[A]

Not bad. Not bad at all. It's on their only lp. Only on their only official lp, you know. Yeah, I don't think it's better than anything in the B tier.

[B]

No, I don't either.

[A]

I also don't think it's better than Wolfsblood. I don't think it's better than OG She.

[B]

I don't think so.

[A]

Probably is.

[B]

I don't think so. Oh, I don't truly.

[A]

It's better than Spinal remains to me.

[B]

Yeah. Yep. Now.

[A]

London Dungeon is up next.

[B]

Probably top three for me.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Like if I had to pick my. My Rushmore, I think. Which I think we've done on the show. London Dungeons.

[A]

It's the best riff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The best misfits riff.

[B]

Cool story.

[A]

Cool story. Spookiest.

[B]

Yeah. Great production, you know, it's awesome.

[A]

I would say under skulls.

[B]

I'm with you. Fully with you.

[A]

Top. Top three in S, dude.

[B]

Which means we got one more in S for now.

[A]

Yeah. But we're gonna reevaluate.

[B]

Oh, yeah. All right. Theme for A Jackal is next. Again, this is a weird one.

[A]

Very. This is. This is. This is like a. Probably a D tier for me.

[B]

I could see that. I'd probably put it even on mine. I'd put it in C probably. So I'm fine with it being in D because something's gotta. That's fine.

[A]

I like it more than Die Dye, my darling. Surely. Damn. Some pea soup just flew off me.

[B]

That.

[A]

That's real pea soup on me.

[B]

That's so gross.

[A]

Stinks. Let Jesus fuck you.

[B]

It burns. It burns. Oh, God. It's been a minute since I've seen it. I forgot about that part.

[A]

Well, that's the fake holy water. So.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Night of Living Dead Hollywood. I think this is Henry Rollins favorite misfit song.

[B]

Wrapped up like shredded weight. It's so good. Not as good as ghouls, tell you that much.

[A]

No, dude. So not as good as teenagers of Mars.

[B]

Better than Horror Hotel put.

[A]

It's surely better than horror, but I love. I do love horror, so I don't think it's better than Angel.

[B]

Okay, so let's put it top of B.

[A]

Let's put a. Top of B. Top of B. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I love horror, so. But this is collaborative.

[B]

Blood Feast. Now this is the weird one from Earth ID that I really like.

[A]

Yeah, this is top tier Earth ID definitely. But I still don't like it as much as Earth. AD or we bite.

[B]

No, it's got that weird. With my blood. It's got like the dark thing. Cuz I just.

[A]

Would you be okay putting this over? I don't think I would put this over. All hell breaks loose.

[B]

No, let's put it.

[A]

But I. I think I like Violent World more too. Yeah, let's put it under.

[B]

Dude. I like attitude more.

[A]

Let's put it under attitude. I like that. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, I think that's fine.

[A]

TV casualty.

[B]

Wait. Oh man. It's going to start getting so hard, dude. Because you love this one. No, no, no, this one's fine. But I just. I looked ahead and. And yeah. But anyway, TV casualty. It's a weird one. It's got the Merrell. It's got the I Love Lucy shit in it, which is cool.

[A]

So Proto punk.

[B]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[A]

Like, California sounded like this two years later.

[B]

Yeah. Zenith grazing at your grave. Sony grazing at your grave. Just talking about tv.

[A]

Cows rotting your mind, man.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. It's so weird and cool now.

[A]

People watch TV to, like, escape from their phone.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Watching TV is, like, productive now.

[B]

Yeah, totally. I never watch.

[A]

I gotta get off my phone and start watching my programs.

[B]

Yeah. And then it's got. Dude, it's got some of the coolest irony that he ended up living in Lucille Ball's house, too. Like, think about TV writing this song, sampling it, and then eventually you live in her old house.

[A]

Let's put this under Nike A Go Go.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Nike A Go Go.

[A]

Because Nike Go Go. Still a banger.

[B]

Now we're. We're getting into some real trouble, buddy.

[A]

This is tough. Up next on our Misfits tier list, we have the song Hybrid Moments. Obviously very famous. It's. You've seen it in Jackass.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You've seen it in other stuff. This is. This is the Less Is More masterpiece.

[B]

This is, I think, probably the greatest song.

[A]

You think this is their best.

[B]

I think this is the George Washington on Mount Rushmore. I think this is really number. Number one misfit song.

[A]

Yeah. I think I feel the way that you do about Last Caress, about Hybrid moments.

[B]

No shit. While.

[A]

While admitting that I still love it.

[B]

Interesting. Okay. Because I still love do here.

[A]

49 of these 57 songs.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I would put this comfortably below Some kind of hate.

[B]

Oh, okay. Okay. So you still asked here, still us.

[A]

I'm still saying S. But I look at those.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. As long as it's represented, I feel good, you know? Okay, now here's the problem. We got another S. We got Bullet. And I love Bullet. And Bullet. Bullet can bump children in heat for me.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because Bullet is not like, Bullet's a song that they played, like, always. So even for them, they're like, this is a good one, you know? And like, I love this song. And it's about Kennedy and all the. That I like more.

[A]

It's more real. It's as relevant as ever, if you.

[B]

Know what I'm saying. So we can bump children. Bump you down. I'll just leave it there for now. We're going to put Bullet. Where do you want bullet?

[A]

Over. Over 20 eyes.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. I agree with that.

[A]

Here's the thing, though. I think I like Bullet more than I like Mommy. And they're kind of. They're kind of like song siblings to me.

[B]

I. I fully agree. I don't know if I would put Mommy in S tier, to be honest.

[A]

Really.

[B]

Just looking at what next up is Astro Zombies.

[A]

What are we doing? You're right. You know, let's put. Let's, let's. Let's make a sacrifice now.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And move Mommy down to above last Chris.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Because. Because I'm looking at teenagers from Mars now and.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And it's kind of killing me that it's.

[B]

Yeah. Why is that atop of it? I think. Yeah, I'm. I'm with you because.

[A]

Because I was expecting sacrifices here.

[B]

I see.

[A]

Oh, Astro Zombies, man. I would say right above skulls all I want. You know, this is another one of those songs that you hear and just think, how did you do this, man?

[B]

The exterminate part, like just all the cool.

[A]

Exterminate. This is a. This is. This may be. There's. I think my Misfit, my favorite Misfits song rotates between the top five in this bracket right now.

[B]

Oh, really? Including horror business.

[A]

I love horror business. I. I love horror business just in general.

[B]

Yeah. All right. Comeback is next. Comeback is one of the weird ones. I'm fine with putting it, like, next to Jackal in D. Yeah. It's got cool. Like, I like it a lot. I love the By My Face.

[A]

Good song. It's not what I put on when I want to hear some Misfits, you know? Okay. Queen Wasp, Raging final. The final, like, vision.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Of like, this feels like to me, he was like, this is what I want.

[B]

I finally. Song. Yeah. That I've always wanted. Totally agree.

[A]

I. I wouldn't. I would put it.

[B]

I'd put it over static age.

[A]

Yeah, I like that. Cuz I like Horror Hotel more.

[B]

Okay. Now, you probably can't read it, but the next one just says it's Halloween. One one? Yeah, just a one in it. And like, listen, here's another one of those last caress hybrid moments things.

[A]

But this one never gets old.

[B]

Never getting old, dude. No way, dude.

[A]

The chorus is the word Halloween. Hollow, four notes, one word, and I'll never forget it. I. I'll remember Halloween, you know?

[B]

Yeah, dude, I. I mean, I think this is. This is pretty obvious. S. Yeah, I don't think.

[A]

Let's put it. Let's put it.

[B]

Over ghouls, which means 20 eyes. 20 eyes gets bumped.

[A]

20 eyes is bumped. Oh, S is Officially full.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Dude.

[B]

Yeah, we'll figure out a. We'll figure out a. In a bit. Dude. Now we got Martian dude.

[A]

Yeah, Martian's easy. Ass. And dude, like that. That intro blows me away.

[B]

Right? How did you know to do that?

[A]

He's like, oh, let's do this. Let's start the song with the chorus. But, like, count into something else. It's all these nuances that you like. It takes advanced thinking.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Musical songwriting brain. To do these things at all.

[B]

The possession of a mind is a terrible thing. Yes.

[A]

It's a terrible thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I turn into a Martian. Oh, shit. I'm a Martian. No. Ass.

[B]

Yeah, it's. It's ass. So what is it kicking out? Dude, I can't. Bullet.

[A]

I think. I think we got.

[B]

I think horror biz is out of there.

[A]

Psycho 78. Dude, my bathroom is new for me.

[B]

I know, but. Dude, masturbate me and slurp it from your palm like a dry desert soaking up sun.

[A]

Yeah. All right, let's horror biz. Top of it.

[B]

Horribiz. Top of a. Oh, this is. This is. This is why I want to do this, because I knew it'd be so hard. Now, Martian, I'm gonna say, is like. It's better than Bullet.

[A]

Martian. Martian is better than hybrid moments to me.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

I love Marsh.

[B]

I'll put it up there. Martian. Dude, this one's hilarious. Return of the Fly with Vincent Price. If you'll note, I wrote with Vincent Price.

[A]

This is. This is pretty. Pretty bottom tier.

[B]

Has to be. It just has to be.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I love the. I love the damp. Damp. Dab a D. It's.

[A]

It's a great riff. This is like if. If. If I'm driving my car and I'm stopped at a red light and I'm listening to Return of the Fly with Vincent Price. I don't want to relate. Like, somebody's gonna pull up and be like, this fucking rockabilly guy next to me. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Okay. Okay.

[A]

I'm like, oh, you don.

[B]

No, no, no. Come back. The.

[A]

But this is, like, true death rock, dude.

[B]

I. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

The. The ghouls and the. And the girls are dancing on the floor type.

[B]

You're right.

[A]

Top. Top of D's Works for me.

[B]

I know somebody who is. That's their favorite misfit song. My friend Aaron.

[A]

Return of the Fly.

[B]

It's his favorite misfit song. Yep.

[A]

See? There's something for everybody. And isn't that beautiful?

[B]

Next up, hate Breeders.

[A]

Whoa. Hey, man. As well.

[B]

I love the evil live version of this when he goes. This one's Hate Breeders. Like, he knew what he had, man. He knew the heaviest band ever. The. The number one 90s band of all time would soon be.

[A]

Would take this. Yeah. I would put. For me, this is, like, under Angel.

[B]

Yeah. But let's. Let's throw it in B, then, because everything's gonna get moved down, you know, Top of B. Okay. Now, Green Hell is a very cool song.

[A]

Oh, it's on. Incredible.

[B]

The palm muting you want, dude. It's so awesome.

[A]

I like. I would say this is tough.

[B]

And then the granddad.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How are you doing this?

[A]

So good. Under Hate readers.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We are now on to Halloween 2.

[A]

Halloween 2. Okay.

[B]

Which, like, you and I could both appreciate the ambitiousness of this.

[A]

I think it's so fun. And so the Sam Hain one is so the riff, dude.

[B]

Yeah. Well, well, well.

[A]

It'S. But it's, you know, like, some of these.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's the chorus of Halloween again, slow, with some. Some incantations over the verse.

[B]

It's kind of industrial in a way with, like, sampling and stuff.

[A]

It's kind of brilliant and groundbreaking.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I really think about it.

[B]

I'd put it in C. I. I'd put it. I think it's better than Return of the Fly.

[A]

Oh, smokes. Return of the Fly.

[B]

You know, let's go.

[A]

Let's go. Top. Top of se.

[B]

I like that. I really like that. I like.

[A]

The idea of Halloween 2 is so cool, man.

[B]

So this one is. Now, this is. This is interesting. We got who Killed Maryland next. It's technically a Danzig song that came out on the later composition. Right. By Glenn Danzig, however, as is Archangel, which ended up being a Sam Hain song. That's not on this list, just so you know.

[A]

Maybe the best. Sam Haynesong.

[B]

Definitely. And all murder, all guts, all fun.

[A]

Oh, I love that song.

[B]

Oh, Goats.

[A]

So it's not better than Hate Breeders? It's not better than Green Hill? It's not better than Horror Hotel?

[B]

No.

[A]

It's not better than All Hell Breaks Loose. It's not better than Attitude. No, I think it's. I think it's under Halloween, too.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. I mean, the only thing that's crazy about it, the only thing that's cool about it is could it have been the Kennedys? That's cool. That part is like, damn, that's right. Could it have been the pack? I love that song. But it. Again, some of these, you know.

[A]

Now, dude, Halloween 2 is looking like it's Gonna go higher to me. But let's. Let's. Let's assess first.

[B]

Next up, American Nightmare.

[A]

Legendary.

[B]

Dude, you want to talk about foresight, you want to talk about Poland? From all things. Also, I have to include the lore when considering the song in that they. The band told him no, and he said, fine, I'll do it. And he did it all himself.

[A]

And he was right. It's crazy to me that the band could tell him, though, you know?

[B]

Yeah. But then he was talented enough to be like, all right, I'll fucking do it myself then.

[A]

Okay. It's a Glenn Danzig song, then.

[B]

Idiots.

[A]

Yeah, man. What a great song. Where do we put this?

[B]

I love this song. I would have. No, I personally think it's better than Angel Falk, Earth Ad. Maybe not. We Bite. It might stop there, but I. Yeah.

[A]

I think I would say it's under We Bite, if anything.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Because Devil's Warehouse. Come on.

[B]

You love that.

[A]

I love Devil's Warhouse. Mephisto Waltz up next.

[B]

Only appeared on Collection two, which is weird. Or first appeared, but I think, like, easy D, right. I don't even know.

[A]

Under Return of the Fly.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Return of the Fire is cool, you.

[B]

Know, dude, but those come back. And Jackal.

[A]

It is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'll put it under Jackal.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. This is another Glenn Danzig only song. Spook City USA doesn't really do much for me. Came out with Maryland.

[A]

I think it's. I would say it's the only. It's better than Spinal Remains. It's not as good as TV Casualty or Nike. Go Go. Or OG She. Okay, you want it in D?

[B]

No, no, I'm just looking. I'm just looking. I mean, it could. Yeah, I could definitely. It's a throwaway song, in my opinion, when it comes to misfits Heat.

[A]

Let's go under Return of the Fly, then.

[B]

Okay. I think that's where it belongs. Yeah. We are 138. Nobody knows what it means.

[A]

Nobody knows what it means. Nobody.

[B]

There was an interview where someone asked Jerry what it means, and he said something about it having to do with, like, barcodes and being assigned a number and just like, you know, commercialism and consumerism and blah, blah, blah. And then there's a response from Glenn. I forget where this was about Jerry's quote. He said, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. It's about violence.

[A]

What is the Police code for 138?

[B]

Great, great idea.

[A]

We got a 138 in progress. Police code 138. Police code 138 in New Jersey is a bomb alert.

[B]

Dude, what if we just cracked.

[A]

Figure it out.

[B]

What if we just cracked it? That's a great, great possibility.

[A]

Wait, now this is. Somebody else said it's a. It's the criminal code for necrophilia. But not in New Jersey.

[B]

Not New Jersey.

[A]

Let me see something else. Necrophilia. Somebody else said it was inspired by the movie THX11 111 38.

[B]

I've heard that. That, I believe is the most. Because it's about being an Android and stuff. That's, I believe, the most common theory. I could also see Glenn just saying that. Just to say it.

[A]

Yeah, 100%. We are 138. It's meaningless, and yet it means everything. And it, like, created this society amongst the fans. Yeah, we're all 138.

[B]

Yeah. Chris's. Chris's first screen name was count me out. 138.

[A]

That's awesome.

[B]

Did the live version, the evil live version where it's like Henry for Black Flag, they play this song and then over the actual lyrics, Henry's just. Wow. He's just screaming.

[A]

This was a song that. It seemed like this is cool because it seems like it didn't come out on anything for a while, and yet they played it live all the time. And people knew it when they played it. Locked.

[B]

Very good. I know what you mean.

[A]

Like final, you know, but as a song just like Final War from. From the Marauder demo. Is it better than Horror Hotel? I'm using as my barometer for B, which is 138 better than horror Hotel? No.

[B]

I think so. I think so, yeah.

[A]

You think it is?

[B]

Yes, I do. I do think it's a cool.

[A]

You think it's better than I Can we put Horror Hotel above Night of the Living Dead?

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Wow. Come on, dude.

[B]

Oh, true. Yeah.

[A]

Under Hate Breeders. Are you comfortable with that?

[B]

Yeah, we could do that. Better than Green Hell. For now, you know? For now. For now, you know?

[A]

Yeah, for now.

[B]

Dude.

[A]

Brain Eaters.

[B]

Brain Eaters is such a cool song. It's an always song at the end of the record. And they made a music video for.

[A]

It, and that's the only real video.

[B]

And it's with Boston Crew guys.

[A]

I know, it's awesome.

[B]

I don't know. I. I've always had a soft spot for that song because it was the first video that I saw. So I just thought it was like, oh, this is awesome. Like, I wonder if they ever played it.

[A]

I would say very least it's top of B.

[B]

Top of B. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. We'll put it there for now.

[A]

We're going to have to reevaluate this whole.

[B]

Oh, all right. We got two more pretty easy ones. The.

[A]

Yeah, we just been talking about this a lot lately. Covered. Famously covered by afi, who was even weird to them. So. Pretty good song.

[B]

Pretty good song. Yeah. Probably D under.

[A]

Under. Yeah. If it's not D, it's low C.

[B]

Okay, we'll put low C for now. Stuff's gonna move, you know.

[A]

Yeah, I would say under Nike.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I like it more than DVTV catches.

[B]

And then next up is Vampire.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

Like, that part is cool. And the. Hey, black dress moves in a blue. It's cool. But they always play it too. They, like, always played Vampire. I've never loved it.

[A]

Personally, I. I think it's probably the weakest song on both 12 hits and.

[B]

And Walk Among Us. I fully agree. I don't think it's.

[A]

Oh, no. Nike Go, Go is probably the weakest song.

[B]

Oh, you're right.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

So we put it above Nike. Maybe.

[A]

Ah. Is. Yeah. But Vampira, to me is over who killed Marilyn. At the very least. It ain't over Halloween 2. I'll tell you that, my brother.

[B]

It's not new. Okay. I. I could put it there. I understand.

[A]

You feel me?

[B]

I could put it in between. I don't particularly agree, but I do.

[A]

We're going to have to redo this whole thing. So.

[B]

So. All right, so what do we. How many? We got an S. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. My God, we did it. But let's organize them. Let's organize.

[A]

Do we agree?

[B]

Yeah, let's see. Read them off for the people listening, Colin.

[A]

So our S Tier picks that we have at the moment before we reassess where Eagles Dare. But this is. We're saying where Eagles Dare is number one.

[B]

So I think we're going to reassess.

[A]

Yeah. Astro, Zombies, Skulls, London Dungeon. Some Kind of hate. I turned into a Martian Hybrid moments. Halloween, Goose, Nara and Bullet.

[B]

Yeah. So where Eagles Dare is not number one. Definitely.

[A]

You think Hybrid moments is number one?

[B]

I. That is my overall pick. Yeah. But that's just. That's just my opinion. I think if it's in S. I'm satisfied. I would love to scientifically get down to the number one with you.

[A]

Yeah, let's do it. I think it may be.

[B]

Could be. Okay.

[A]

Or London Dungeon, both of which are over. Hybrid moments.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

London Dungeon. I think if If London Dungeon was a minute and a half, it would be the best misfits, just the best song. But it's. It's like the same verse. The. The. It's verse one, verse two, chorus, verse one, chorus, verse two, chorus.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You know, which is cool because they met. They made it work. Cool story, I think, but I think from a songwriting like. And the riff is unbelievable. Where Eagles Dare. Infinitely more iconic, you know.

[B]

Okay. Okay.

[A]

Is werewolves there better than skulls?

[B]

No. No.

[A]

So high. Headless and limp. Headless on a limp. Let's collect the heads right there.

[B]

Collect the heads off little girls.

[A]

Put them on my mouth. Let's put hybrid moments over Some Kind of Hate.

[B]

I. I love that. Yeah. I do think of them as kind of sibling songs. Siblings song a little bit, you know.

[A]

Dude, Martian's got to go over Some kind of hate.

[B]

Think so. Okay.

[A]

Martian is unreal.

[B]

Martian might be above. Where. Where Eagles dare. Think about the woes, dude. The woe pattern.

[A]

And that last chorus just feels. I turned into a Martian. I can't even recall my name. Yeah, man. I'm down with that. I'm down with that.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Walk among us.

[B]

Yeah. Kind of cleaning.

[A]

Oh, the mat.

[B]

It's got the hits, you know. But then. But now.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Halloween. I think ghouls should probably go here. Above that.

[A]

I love Ghouls night Out. Ghouls Night Out I tried to do on Twitch Fits Volume one, and I was vetoed.

[B]

No, that's crazy to me.

[A]

It was like, well, obviously we got to do Ghouls Night Out.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

And it was. It was. I was told we had to wait.

[B]

And I think this is good, cuz now I'm glad. Yeah. Sorry.

[A]

This feels good. Bullet. Bullet. End of S is really cool.

[B]

Ended, dude. That's S tier with a bullet, baby.

[A]

With a bullet. A starts with horror business, which I absolutely love.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I fucking love horror business. 20 eyes right behind it. You want to move children in Heat above teenagers from Mars?

[B]

Yes, definitely. I would put Children in Heat right under Horror Business on my list.

[A]

Let's do that. Let's do that.

[B]

Because I do think it's a stronger song altogether than twenty Eyes. Even though I love twenty Eyes.

[A]

Twenty Eyes has the coolest intro. It opens the album. The incredible chorus. Children in Heat overall, probably a better song. Horror biz overall, just like a. A plus, S minus, maybe.

[B]

Yeah. Right, right, right.

[A]

If we can only have 10 teenagers from Mars, it's better than 20 eyes. Teenagers from Mars. You think so it's better than 20 eyes. I think so. Is that crazy?

[B]

A little. But you think I'm okay with it.

[A]

I'm okay with it, Mommy. I love where mommy is.

[B]

Mommy's fine.

[A]

Mommy.

[B]

Last caresses.

[A]

Last caress. You know how it's got to be here. Dude.

[B]

Fine. It's fine. People, like, call me a fake fan if it's not.

[A]

No, I don't think so. I think you're. This is a very. We're talk. We're speaking two halves. A very real fan perspective of. Hey, this song is objectively so good. And I'm so sick of this song. Yeah, totally fair. But, dude, you step back from it and you show this to a regular guy on the street. It's insane. I. I think I'm happy with where it is.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Cough. Cool. I love that. It's an A.

[B]

It's awesome. I fully agree.

[A]

That's beautiful.

[B]

That is beautiful. Now we get weird. Death comes ripping. Hollywood Babylon, Devil's Whorehouse, and we bite all. Being above American Nightmare is crazy to me.

[A]

You don't. Okay, so move. Move. American Nightmare right below she. How many are in there? How many? How many B do we get?

[B]

10, three 11s and then a 13.

[A]

Okay, so two things in here that are like Hollywood Babylon is.

[B]

Yeah. Easy down.

[A]

Oh, I meant it was easy A, but.

[B]

Oh, easy A. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm. I'm not disagreeing. I think.

[A]

But do I may like Devil's Whorehouse more?

[B]

This is tough. This is tough.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because we got to get rid of four out of this.

[A]

I think. I think Devil's. I think Devil's Whorehouse has to be last day.

[B]

Okay. Over Hollywood Babylon.

[A]

Over. Over Babylon.

[B]

We buy Earth any. Yeah. This all makes sense to me. To move down. None of these are stronger than what's above. Although Death comes ripping. I'm not. I would probably pick We Bite or Angel. Over Death comes ripping, to be honest. But again, I love. I love the melody. You know you do.

[A]

But that comes ripping, I think has some of the most melody on the record.

[B]

Not.

[A]

Not the biggest. Whoa, dude.

[B]

But it. But We Bite's got that. I know.

[A]

All right, let's. Let's swap it with We Bite. Can you put We Bite under Devil's forehead?

[B]

He loves carnelity.

[A]

Well, I love it, man. Okay, so let's move, dude. So Death. Death comes ripping top of be.

[B]

But, dude, here's what's up. I think Brain Eaters is better than those bottom four. Yeah.

[A]

Really, Dude.

[B]

Brain Eaters is so fun and goofy. Like, I like Hollywood Babylon Quite a bit. Like I said, I love those 70s songs. But, yeah, Brain Eaters is all right.

[A]

Put. Put it under Brain Eaters.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Earth AD I'm not. I cannot put under Brain Eaters.

[B]

Okay, Fair.

[A]

Death comes ripping. I cannot put under Death. Yeah, that's got Angel. Angel fucks better than Brain Eaters.

[B]

That's fine.

[A]

And Again, again, these 90 second songs, dude, are just like. That has to be commended.

[B]

Dude, this is brutal. We got to move five of these down.

[A]

Okay, well, we know where. We know where the Blood Feast is going.

[B]

Toppies is going.

[A]

Okay. In the doorway. It's gotta go. It's me under Halloween too.

[B]

Yeah. See, I think we move Vampira down to D. I think Vampire has got. No, respectfully, over all those.

[A]

Dude.

[B]

Yeah. Vampire don't do it for me.

[A]

Okay, 12 hits version.

[B]

Where are we putting Static Age then? And Devil Lock and violent world and attitude and all breaks loose.

[A]

Static Age can go C. No problem.

[B]

Okay, it's fine. I'll put it.

[A]

I would put that under who Killed Marilyn. Honestly. Okay. All Hell Breaks Loose is so good.

[B]

Hello, Hell, bro.

[A]

And I'll help break it loose. But so is Halloween too, dude.

[B]

Evil is as evil does and I know.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

But so is Hollywood, too. You're right.

[A]

I think he's awesome.

[B]

I think this actually makes sense.

[A]

Yeah, I like that.

[B]

I like that Devil Lock can move. Right? Right about.

[A]

Yeah, Yeah. I like that Violent World.

[B]

It's better than Vampira.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, it's. I like it more than in the doorway all day.

[B]

Okay. Dude, attitude, though. It's awesome.

[A]

It is.

[B]

I think it's tapasy. I think it's better than All Hell Breaks Loose.

[A]

I'm with you. I'm with you.

[B]

So we got this now we got going on here. We got to move five more. Five more down and we got it.

[A]

Okay, let's do she at the top of D. Okay.

[B]

The OG. She.

[A]

That is OG she is top of D. Nike A. Go Go. Yeah, right behind it.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Demonomania.

[B]

Yeah, you know, it's kind of just.

[A]

All of these over. Return of the Fly. Yeah, Yeah. I think these are the ones. Monomania is right under Nike. TV Casualty.

[B]

I love TV Casualty.

[A]

Put it Over.

[B]

Return of the Fly.

[A]

We. This is the thing. We gave ourselves a tough. A tough task.

[B]

Spinal remains probably so over. Return on the Fly. I think we've done it. People are going to call us crazy for the Die Die placement. By the way, people love that song. It's. Yeah, it's because of Metallica, dude.

[A]

The fucking constant beep, beep, beep, beep, beep is excruciating, you know?

[B]

All right. I think this is a definitive list. I'm really happy with a lot of my favorites, to be honest with you.

[A]

Me too. I think Horror Business and Children in Heat being top of a. Those are our two.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Dark Horse requests for S. That couldn't make.

[B]

There you go. And that makes total.

[A]

So it's only fair. Yeah. What do we feel like? What do we feel like Is low. Horror Hotel is pretty low.

[B]

You love or.

[A]

I love that song. All Hell Brokes Loose is so good.

[B]

I know. But something's got to be in C.

[A]

You know, it's got to be there.

[B]

With Violent World and Static Age. That's crazy.

[A]

I'm really psyched on our. On our S tier.

[B]

Our S tier ended up being kind of perfect. It makes total sense to me.

[A]

So our top four misfit songs that we have on this tier list. Astro Zombies. The best four misfit songs. Astro Zombies, London Dungeon Skulls and I Turned Into a Martian.

[B]

Pretty hard to argue with any of those.

[A]

Yeah, I agree. Ghoul's Night out and S is so sick.

[B]

So sick, dude. It's a truly underappreciated song, in my opinion.

[A]

Totally agree. The 12 hits mix version, which we've talked about a lot.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We posted the link to do something with it in our discord once, long ago. This is it. This is our official Hard Lore Misfits discography tier list. All these songs are great at the end of the day.

[B]

Besides Rat Fink.

[A]

Besides Rat Fink, really? Which is not. They didn't write it. So what are you gonna do?

[B]

Yeah, what are you gonna do?

[A]
