Nightfall - 'Mean Machine' (The Cramps cover)

I'm mean
I'm a mean machine
I gotta be mean
Just a bad human being

This ain't no art from
The bottom of a henhouse floor
Rip out your brains if
Ya got 'em throw 'em out the door

'cause I'm mean
I'm a mean machine
I gotta be mean
Just kind of a bad human being
Uh-huh
I can't stand nothing dull,
I got the gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass
As fast as Bull offed Custer

'cause I'm mean
I'm a mean machine
I just gotta be mean
Yeah, just a bad human being

You wanna go to the Devil
But you don't like the flames
Blood on Satan's Claw is my middle name

Because I'm mean
I'm a mean machine
Yeah, I gotta be mean
Just a bad human being
Listen to me now

You wanna go to the Devil
But you don't like the flames
Blood on Satan's Claw is my middle name

Because I'm mean
I'm a mean machine
Yeah, I gotta be mean
Just a bad human being

I'm telling ya, I'm mean
I'm a mean machine
I just gotta be mean
Just a bad human being

Στα τελειώματα (Δεκέμβριος) του 1996 οι Nightfall είχαν ηχογραφήσει (στα Tico Tico studios της Φινλανδίας) μία διασκευή στο τραγούδι των The Cramps "Mean Machine" (από τον δίσκο "Flamejob" του 1994). 27 έτη αργότερα δίνουν στην δημοσιότητα το lyric video της διασκευής, με τον Ευθύμη Καραδήμα να μας λέει σχετικά:

«Mean Machine is the first ever song I listened by the Cramps. Its filthy sound and performance might well be described as a spit to the face of anything normal out there. Lyric-wise I’d say it is more about accepting the role of the bad guy, rather than trying to prove the opposite.

90s were wild in terms of social approbation. I felt connected to that song for somehow it made me feel it was like we were the “mean machines”, the outcasts, the bad guys, people did not want to have any connection with.

The Cramps have ceased to exist, but thanks to Burton’s Wednesday Netflix series, they are beautifully haunting our dreams again. Mean Machine’s our tribute to them. We share it with you untouched, right from the depths of XX Century.»
