Song of the Day Redux, Day 10: Kinderwhore

Shabutie – Kinderwhore (1999)

Track three of the 1999 Penelope EP, recorded Claudio, Mic, and Nate.

The Content: A sex song with a sense of humor, and some disturbing parts as well. A few hilarious lyrics: "I've got this power in my genitals" and "can your dick support your body weight?" I don't know who Kinder is, so we're at a loss there. And the song's a little disturbing in a sexual way: "Do I scare you? Well I should be"; "You won't fight when you're sore", etc. So, yeah, a bit disturbing. I don't know what Claudio was thinking, but the humorous lyrics indicate to me that Claudio's joking around with this song. For the most part. Claudio has almost never had sexual lyrics in Coheed: we got the seductive "curve of your body, how I want" in Willing Well I, and "fucking a loaded gun" in KEE2 (not so sexual, mainly insane.) So it's pretty special to get a song about the power in Claudio's genitals. Another thing to keep in mind that Claudio was just 21 years old when recording this, and probably younger than that when he actually wrote the song.

The Music: This is a pretty simple song structured mainly around some cool stuff going on with the bass and drums. Pretty simple guitar work playing with what's going on in the bass, for the most part. The verse riff actually goes between the bass and guitar, call and response, which is pretty interesting. Claudio doesn't do anything particularly special with his vocals in this song, except for the near screaming in the last part of the song.

The Part: I like what the drums do in the "I twisted" segment, and then with the "do I scare you?" part.

Feed us, tease us
I've got this power in my genitals
Let me go on for
Tease me, I'll stand high
Attention deficit
Don't pull short of what I'm near

I will tease her

Beautiful, a tease, yea.
Can your dick support your body weight?
Turn round and let me show you what I mean
Yeah, yeah
I've played with other girls
But Kinder is my whore

I will tease her
I'm more and more, of yours
And I'll wait, ah-ha

Cause I'm not afraid, tease her
You've got the best of me, yeah
Figured out

Pull!

I went, I went to the bottom,
I slip, for me it's you
Oh sweet, as papa's girl should be
Oh shit, what have I found?

I twisted
And my arms hurt
And I took down
Oh yeah to the bottom
Do I scare you?
Well I should be
(It's broken) I bore them
???

You know you'll break in scaredom
You wont fight when your sore
Come on you have to break that change
You'll slip when your sore
Get up, aren't your arms still working?
You'll slip when your sore
Come here I could use that again...
