Siouxsie and The Banshees - Drop Dead / Celebration video free download

This song is a B-side of Happy House (1980), which was included in Downside Up B-Sides and Rarities Album in 2004.

SIOUXSIE ''You have to remember, this was the era of the disgusting 'kiss-o-gram' and this is my 'kiss-off-o-gram' or 'drop-dead-o-gram'. A much needed vent of aggression and scapegoat bashing that proved such distraction and industry in the bowels of the Polydor studios in Stratford Place. It has since become a cathartic and rousing anthem for the betrayed and let down. And who said being a do-gooder wasn't fun?''

SEVERIN ''After John and Kenny's desertion we tried to just get back on track. Of course such dreadful behaviour couldn't pass without a suitable response. Let's just say that there was quite an abundance of glee during this session that I think translates. For the avoidance of doubt we had 'Bye Bye Blackheads' scratched on the run-out grooves of the vinyl single.''

BUDGIE ''A militarized reggae beat, a heavy manners bass line and scary guitar, a cute melodica, a splash of reverb and we had the perfect accompaniment for Siouxsie's jolly rousing farewell to the two who left without explanation.''

Lyrics:

I hate you, I hate you

I hate you, I hate you

Drop dead you stinking little creep

Drop dead with your emotions so cheap

Your poisoned mind is disgusting everyone

We don't care if you vanish in thin air

Drop dead (shooby dooby doo) it's a dead drop

(shooby dooby doo) you're a dead loss drop dead

(A rinky tinky tinky)

You should be put down

Down into the ground amongst the worms

And other spineless things

Can't you see you're embarrassing to me?

I can't stand that boring whining sound

Drop dead oh it's a dead drop

You're a dead loss drop dead

You're so pathetic an insipid dried up slug

Keep your mouth shut you impotent little slut

I'm so ashamed to be connected with your name

You're so lame I wish you'd go up in a flame

Drop dead oh it's a dead drop

You're a dead loss drop dead

Those words tight lipped and mealy mouthed

It wasn't hard to realise that they were lies

Judging from the flies you've attracted from the skies

So just get lost (doo whop) fuck off

And disappear into the compost

Or drop dead stinking little creep

Drop dead Drop dead (doo whop doo whop)

Drop dead...

La la la la la la...
