Each Friday I pick a song\u2013new, old, borrowed, blue\u2013that\u2019s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.<\/p>\n

Here’s “Where Eagles Dare” by The Misfits:<\/p>\n

The Misfits — “Where Eagles Dare”<\/a><\/p>\n

The Misfits tear some pages out of the Ramones book of songwriting here, and there’s nothing wrong at all with that, but what I really love is the line, “I ain’t no goddamn son of a bitch”: it’s threatening, it’s menacing, but it’s also just a little bit vulnerable; Glenn Danzig is a bit miffed that somebody implied or assumed or told him straight out that he’s a goddamn son of a bitch.\u00a0 Because he ain’t one.\u00a0 Think about it, baby.<\/p>\n
