"I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix" - What an odd song

I ran across this last night.

Song from 1995.

(never mind the WOW video, it’s the only place I could find a clear rendition of the song)

(He’ll Never Be An) Ol’ Man River

I’m on the drug,
I’m on the drug,
I’m on the drug that killed River Phoenix. (x2)

I saw his body thrashing round.
I saw his pulse rate going down.
I saw him in convulsive throes.
I said “I’ll have one of those.”

[[SHORTED LYRIC QUOTE]]

And just in case you also wanted to hear the band (TISM) playing it on traditional Greek instruments… :slight_smile:

TISM are shit.

but who the fuck isn’t?
Seriously, mum, one of the funniest cynical bands featuring a guy named Hitler to ever grace the stage. Their videos (and the documentary on the band) are hilarious. Too bad they aren’t having any more reunion tours.

The music is too annoying/simplistic to be any good, but the lyrics are funny. A mod will no doubt be along to slap your wrists for posting them in their entirerty.

Now that he’s been forewarned, he’s probably got some anti-slapping device on his wrists. Thanks a lot. But yes, astro, I trimmed the quote from the song lyrics. When quoting from a song, please don’t use more than approximately one verse and link to the rest.

I know one of the guys in TISM.*

*but that’s not what motivates me.
Edit - If you ever have the chance to see the Rage video “TISM LIVE AT THE CLUB” - you’ll see me in the front row, almost 20 years ago…
