My turn to pick the music selection this month. I suggested to Blobby, “How about songs mentioning tattoos. But that were performed before 1990.” I only suggested before 1990 as there are a plethora of songs with that subject after that time. At least ones I know that Blobby may not.

Blobby had problems with my selection being too specific. So I’m probably going to get Hell for that the next go round. Sorry Blobby!

And for the last selection of the month, I give you Blue Oyster Cult’s 1976 “Tattoo Vampire”:

I went down last night with a tattoo madam
To a nude dagger fantasy domain
Wrapped in hell, I lost my breath
Chest to stimulating Chinese breast

Grisly smiles, that don’t flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin

Seeding the night at the inker’s parlor
Flash permabrand pricked for a dollar
Her wrist surreal a heart and flying skull
Lettered “Life and love pass swiftly”

Grisly smiles, that don’t flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin
