MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released yesterday back in 1992…

Faith No More dropped their fourth album:

Angel Dust

And with Mike Patton fully onboard – things got weird.

(Music Cut #2)

One of the album’s biggest songs,

“Midlife Crisis,”

started with a working title connected to Madonna.

Patton later said he was being bombarded

by her image everywhere.

(Music Cut #3 – “Material Girl” cut)

But Madonna wasn’t the only surprise

The drums used Simon & Garfunkel’s “Cecilia.”

And the bridge pulled from Beastie Boys’ “Car Thief.”

So “Midlife Crisis” had Madonna in the working title…

Simon & Garfunkel in the drums…

and Beastie Boys hiding in the bridge.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me, you’re only you.” – by Faith No More “Midlife Crisis”
