original recalled cover

reissued cover

If you're looking for the absolute best quality Spooky Kids material available, this disc is the place to start. It is the first of two CDs of remastered SK songs, and so far is the only one to be released commercially. The remasters were completed by Scott Putesky several years ago, but weren't released until last year, when Scott signed a record deal with Empire Musicwerks (the second disc has yet to be released). Scott did send some copies out to fans a few years ago, titled Spooky Kids Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.

Unfortunately, Manson and Pogo sued Scott over the unauthorized used of their likenesses in the booklet and on the bonus DVD. The suit was settled when Empire agreed to reissue the disc without the artwork in question, or bonus DVD. For more details, check out our Articles page.

The bonus DVD wasn't really that great anyway. It featured three songs taken from camcorder footage of an otherwise unknown live show, but tries to synch them up to the album versions of the songs. The gallery isn't much either, with a large logo on the screen but only a small picture of the flyers or band in the middle.

Here's a rundown of all the songs on volume one and their sources

Red (In My) Head - Jan 90 - This is the original Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat version (that can also be found on Birth Of The Anti-Christ). The liner note say that it's the Big Black Bus version, but that isn't correct.

Dune Buggy - Aug 90 - Lunchbox version

Insect Pins - Feb 93 - Same version as on the Portrait Rehearsals six-song demo

Learning To Swim - Mar 91 - Lunchbox version

Negative 3 - Dec 91 - from After School Special

Meat For A Queen - Aug 90 - from Grist-o-line

White Knuckles - Mar 90 - BMCB / Funnel Zone version with different intro. Manson says "I wanted her all over me so I cut her up and I smeared her," which isn't on the other versions. The liner notes say that this is the Big Black Bus version, but that isn't correct.

Scaredy Cat - Nov 93 - This is a different version than the one found on the Portrait Rehearsals, and is previously unreleased. While the other one was a in-studio rehearsal, this one sounds more professionally recorded, plus it's a little faster and has some different lyrics.

Thingmaker - Jul 92 - from Family Jams

Thrift - Jan 92 - from Refrigerator

Red (In My) Head

Smiling faces on the wall
I took a walk down the hall
I banged my fist against the door
I tossed a quarter to the whore
The camera flashes in my eyes
I spread the news she spreads her thighs
Red, red in my head
Red, red in my head

I grabbed her knuckles and I yanked them all
I bent her in half like a barbie doll
Love, hate
Take this flesh and meditate

I sat there with her
We sat there 2
She said to me
What should we do
I know some tricks
and I'll show them to you
Your mother won't mind at all if I do
To you

The poor little girl
The poor little girl
The poor little girl didn't know what to say
For her mother was out of the house today
Today
Today
Red, red in my head
Red, red in my head

We didn't exactly kill her, it was an accident
I killed a girl once, it was no accident
I was in love
He's still killing her
He's still killing her

The poor little girl
The poor little girl
The poor little girl didn't know what to say
For her mother was out of the house today
Today
Today
Red, red in my head
Red, red in my head

Then he killed her and chopped her up then he cooked her and he ate her (?)

Red, red they call me red
Red, in bed
The girl

Dune Buggy

They'd mount machine guns on top of the dune buggies
And the girls would drive the dune buggy while the guys shot the machine gun
We'd swoop down on the town and kill everyone that wasn't beautiful

Take it out take it out
Take it out take it out
Take it out
Dog god, bites my face
Rip it out by the roots
Rip it out by the roots
From my skull
Goddamn toilet washes me away
Cuze I am the Choklit Cow
Choklit Cow
Ask forgiveness and
I'll show you how
Choklit Cow
Choklit Cow
Ask forgiveness and
I'll show you how

Trippin this trippin this
Trippin this trippin this
Trippin that
Smile like, a cheshire cat
Get it out get it out
Get it out get it out
Get it out of your skull
You're just a doll
I make sometimes to play

Take me down now
Hole in the ground
The little girls think
That I'm so sweet
Mocked up and down
Heart like a ghost town
Spirits of the world
Cower at my feet

Take it out take it out
Take it out take it out
Take it out
Dog god, bites my face
Rip it out by the roots
Rip it out by the roots
Rip it out
Goddamn toilet washes me away
Cuze I am the Choklit Cow
Choklit Cow
Ask forgiveness and
I'll show you how
Choklit Cow
Choklit Cow
Ask forgiveness and
I'll show you how

I am the Choklit Cow
Ask forgiveness and
I'll show you how
I am the Choklit Cow
Ask forgiveness and
I'll show you how

Learning To Swim

I wanna be the fish
I like the way he swims
I bend my arms to fins
Ego scales my skin

I grab a sharp stick
And I cut my gills
The water rushes in...

I'm too young
To live this life

I wanna be the fish
I like the way he swims
I grab a sharp stick
I'm too young to live
Inside this life

They want me to stay
This life I cannot feign
They want me to stay
This life I cannot feign
They want me to stay
This life I cannot feign

Meat For A Queen

Fornicators in wooden silence
Throw grubsteaks on the offering plate
Supplication congregation
Count the creases in your face
Prophet preaches hypocrisy
Disemboweling heresy
And your falsities and your falsities
And your falsified factualities

You can't prove anything that happened yesterday...
now is the only thing that's real

The sky was purple and my eyes were red
I fell from the firmament upon my head
Was it something something something I said?
One day people gonna make me dead

Caught in this dream
Can't hear me scream
It's another variation on my theme
I'm omnipotent fiend
I'm meat for a queen
My hair runs black and my eyes grow green

You can't prove anything. You can't prove anything

You don't need your worthless mortal body
Belief is just a pitiful noose
Your god is cerebral masturbation
And satan is your sorry excuse

Fuck fuck fuck fuck
You can't prove anything that happened yesterday...
now the only thing that's real

You don't need your worthless mortal body
Belief is just a pitiful noose
Your god is cerebral masturbation
And satan is your sorry excuse

You don't need your worthless mortal body
You don't need your worthless mortal body
You don't need your worthless mortal body
Belief is just a pitiful noose

You can't prove anything

White Knuckles

I wanted her all over me, so I cut her up and I smeared her

Smack dab flat on my back
Solid ground beginning to crack
I pulled her down and down and down
I lost my breath I thought I'd drown
Fistfuls of you
Fistfuls of you
You pulled me through with white knuckles
Fistfuls of you
Fistfuls of you
You pulled me through with white knuckles

Her leg my hand a smoldering brand
Sticking to her wet, body like sand
Her place distaste we fell from grace
Red smears across our face

Fistfuls of you

Fistfuls of you
Fistfuls of you
You pulled me through with white knuckles
Fistfuls of you
Fistfuls of you
You pulled me through with white knuckles
White knuckles
White knuckles
White knuckles
White knuckles
