Ted...

#1 Post by JOEinPHX » Sat Dec 17, 2011 8:25 pm

So this song just popped up on iTunes, and I don't know if it's the wine I am drinking or what... but god damn what a rad song. 80s sound aside, this shit is fucking amazing. Why don't they do it live more often? I kind of want to call Perry up and be like "hey dude, what the hell were you thinking when you wrote this? Tell me the story"

So damn good. I think sometimes we take for granted what they were just because of some of the things they did in their later years.

But I am happy they managed to put down on tape the band they were.

Awesome. Just awesome. Sex is violent...

There are gonna be people turning up in canyons, and there are gonna be people turning up in cities, because the fans there aren't willing to accept what I think they know, and they know I don't remember these songs.

Didn't he always say he was on acid watching a show about serial killers when he wrote it?

http://somediverswhistle.com/songs/ted.html
Perry quote from BAM magazine, issue 297 12/2/88...
"'Ted...' was written without the thought of music," he says. "It was written right at the moment I was frying on acid and watching a video called MURDER: NO APPARENT MOTIVE. And it was just interviews with murderers. And, of course, you got to relive the dastardly deed through dramatization. And after that I just sat down and put a melody behind it. But it was good because I had a chance to see what the words did and then put music to accompany the words, rather than vice versa, which is the way a lot of let's just say bad rock bands will work. They'll start with the song, then hurry up and throw words down on top of it."

Maybe he's negotiated a compromise where as long as Perry sings "I Would for You, Etty" he'll be allowed to include the song in set lists from now on? :hs:

Well have they done anything in the past 3 days? Basically all the new car smell of the new album is gone.

I think he's just still negotiating how much extra he has to pay Etty for him to be allowed to do so.

when he played it with p4p he didn't sing "case". instead he sang "babe" so i guess he can say the song isn't about casey anymore and cane get a pass from etty.

Oh baby!
I’m so tired

A man, from the government
Man, from the tax board
Man, in the public school
Man, own’s the golden rule
Yeah,
I’m everybody’s slave
I made you my slave
You said this I do for you
If it would help
To give the world back
What it gave
Then I would…
I would
I would
I would…

I would for you
I would for you
ohhh…. ohhhh… uhhh…. uhhh…. uhhh….

You say my eyes
Are crazy eyes
Well sometimes they are
And so are you
And if you wonder
What I would do
I would do anything if I could
You know I would
I would
I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you – Case…
I would for you – ohh…
ohhh…. ohhhh… uhhh…. uhhh…. uhhh….

Porno For Pyros covered this song and made it a staple of their set during much of the Good God’s Urge tour. Perry and Casey had long since broken up by the time Porno For Pyros began covering this song, so Perry substituted the lyric “babe” for “Case” in the song, however most fans singing along used the original lyric.
