A song by Rob Zombie from his album, The Sinister Urge. It is also the theme song to the movie he later directed. While the musical portion of the song is fairly simple, it is most notable for beginning and ending with what sound like various television or radio broadcasts detailing the carnage inside the
house, with lines like "
Police have identified four victims, and plan on more than just the four for the charges filed today", as
well as "...a large kettle on the stove which held boiled body parts..." It is also peppered with various screams, sounds of chainsaws, and the occasional eerie voice. Overall, it is the
type of song that
one would not want to first listen to alone in a dark room.
First Gentleman: "I do say, my good man, what
music shall I select to be played during my dinner social this evening? I have looked at various selections, but I must say that they all reek of feces -- metaphorically, of course."
Second Gentlemen: "Why, I do believe I have just the song! You must have heard of musical virtuoso
Robert Cummings, commonly known as Rob Zombie. His song, "
House of 1000 Corpses", is just the kind of background
music for your own cannibalistic proceedings tonight!"
First Gentlemen: "Oh, Winston, you know me only too
well. Of course I shall play that song again! I will be sure to save some sweetbreads for you this time; I know how you do like those exquisite bits of human goodness."
