An Early Clue to the New Direction: Special Caught With the Meat in Your Mouth Edition

From sometime in the early '80s, please enjoy -- if at all possible -- irrepressible downtown No Wave avant-garde faves Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and their totally wiggy ode to whatever the hell it is "I Woke Up Dreaming."



A coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the song's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania. Although I'm not holding my breath.

And also to anybody who gets the reference in today's sub-title, which seems more likely.

Heh.

    Well, Caught with the Meat in Your Mouth is a Dead Boys song from their debut, "Young, Loud and Snotty." I know that much.

  2. Written about Teenage Jusus' Lydia Lunch. Who was something of a groupie at the time, if memory serves.

  4. Okay -- a carefully considered clue.

    It's about the band name.

    I once saw a picture of Stiv being given the, shall we say, meat-in-mouth treatment while performing onstage. You can't unsee something like that.

    Songs mentioning deities?
