Last weekend, I was reminded of a forgotten pop gem from the mid-80s by an artist critical to the music scene in that decade. This song by Don Dixon may not be remembered by most, but his contributions as co-producer of REM’s first 2 albums can’t be forgotten. Those initial REM albums greatly influenced 80’s music.

This song by Dixon released as part of an album full of demos didn’t shape anything, but it sure is a fun tune.

My favorite lyrics from the song:

“She bit off his head so he would not feel the pain
She wanted his body so much she ate his brain”

Oh, to be desired that much. Despite my brain being pretty much gone at this point in my life, it was not because of anyone ever wanting my body.

Thanks to 93.1 WXRT for reminding me of this fun, clever song.
