Now That's Scary

One of my favorite quotes is from the Righteous Brothers (can't remember which) who said when they started, their stuff was too scary to play on the radio, and now it's played in old people's homes to calm down senior citizens.

I remember years ago listening to "Rock Lobster" and "Uncontrollable Urge," wondering why no one would play them on commercial stations. Were these songs too weird for the public to handle? Believe it or not, that's what they thought.

That's why I'm not sure if I should take satisfaction, or get no satisfaction, in that I heard both songs today in major ad campaigns, one for Kmart, one for Mitsubishi.
