Personal
I loathe sappy love songs, which is why I seem to adore vulgar comedic love songs--and Ludo's Love Me Dead is indeed vulgar. The song starts off with the lyric, "love me cancerously," and continues from there. The song has a wonderful Vaudeville feeling to it with staccato melodies and an overtly anti-sexual theme which the video captures perfectly. There's nothing a woman wants to hear more than, "you're hideous and sexy!" The thing I like most about the song is how all of the lyrics are both insulting, and yet enduring. For example, "you suck so passionately," sounds terrible, nobody wants to suck, however, she sucks in such a passionate way, that it's a good thing! Of all the clever lines, I think my favorite lyric of the song is, "you're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature finger-bangin' my heart." Ah, poetry.
Lyrics
Love me cancerously Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea. 'High-maintenance' means You're a gluttonous queen Narcissistic and mean. Kill me romantically Fill my soul with vomit Then ask me for a piece of gum. Bitter and dumb You're my sugarplum. You're awful, I love you! She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed Must be the sign on my head That says, oh... Love me dead! Love me dead! You're a faith-healer on T.V. You're an office park without any trees Corporate and cold Gushing for gold Leave me alone. You suck so passionately You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature finger-bangin' my heart You call me up drunk Does the fun ever start? You're hideous and sexy! She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed Must be the sign on my head That says, oh... Love me dead! Love me dead! Love me cancerously Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! How's your new boy? Does he know about me? You've got the mark of the beast. You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful! She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed Wha' 'bout that sign on my head That says, oh... Love me dead!
