Alley Cats - Nothing Means Nothing Anymore

[@stevehousden2699]

Saw them last night with the Flesheaters. Love the Alleycats...wish Randy would sing the way he did on these incredible Dangerhouse recordings.

Nothing means nothing anymore So close your eyes child and lie on the floor And pretend what you feel is really real And know what is real is what you feel Outside the night sings to the summer rain They had a child and she named him Pain He lost his life hanging around twenty-two Strange, he looks so much like you So close your eyes, pretty country child Outside the lights are bright and the night is wild Out there you're just a straw floating in the wind Come in here pretty child and do it again Little chickens and their chicken hawks They're going to teach you a brand new way to walk When you stare at the moon, your eyes will be hard and cold You'll live your life trying never to grow old

Thank you

[@georgefromgreece4119]

Not enough thanks for that!!!

[@GasPipeJimmy]

I remember seeing them live in 1980 or 1981 at Magic Mountain. I think they were opening for Oingo Boingo.

[@robpierce2verbs]

What a great 45. I'm unfamiliar with the concept "too much bass." Love their early stuff.

[@dbrown2746]

the first record I produced...

[@dbrown2746]

actually a fairly brutal song about child rape...

[@zubofsam]

Randy has said its about a young runaway male prostitute and his first trick...and as he got older he trys to stay young by the way he dresses etc. to keep clients (chickenhawks). His inspiration was a hustler on Santa Monica that he saw.

[@RushOrbit]

What do you mean by “produced”?

[@NBM3]

Thank you for capturing !!!

[@georgefromgreece4119]

The production is proper and lets the composition and lyrics shine in my opinion, good job!!!

[@arnarsigurjonsson2511]

Absolutely fantastc

[@georgefromgreece4119]

Deep, meaningful song!!!

[@diangle]

Hi, from Italy and I love this band. I've just created a fan page on facebook, we could all join there. Bye

[@MrBrianlowdown]

MY FAVORITE VERSION OF THERE SONG

[@beachkidboy]

Remember the bill at the Whisky for the URGH A Music War show: Go-Go's, Oingo Boingo, Alley Cats, Surf Punks. What I would have done to be there!!!

[@missionpants]

WOW! First off, can I just say how awesome laminate is for putting what I heard as the original out for the first time in about 20+ years?!?!?! Secondly, can I just say how awesome laminate is for just being laminate?!!?!?! Can I??? Can I?!!!!?!??!?!

😍

[@ninetyfive300zx]

love the druming

[@GeorgeGodula]

Did the Dead Kennedys rip off this song or vice versa?

[@_WESTSIDE_]

Dk ripped them off

[@ChrisHenniker]

That's based on Vince Crane's "Brand New Cadillac".

[@HuskerF-inDu]

These guys would've fit right on the SST or Discord label. It's a shame they didn't get as big as they should have. It's also pure bullshit that their performance of this song on Urgh! didn't make the soundtrack

[@stevenbecker5571]

It was on the original double-LP version of the Urgh! soundtrack released in 1981 but is missing from the later CD release. It's well worth finding an original vinyl copy - they're not too hard to find and not too expensive, and it contains several other really great songs missing from the CD.

[@marysquires3561]

Election Night. Perfect song.

[@de8generocity715]

This song would have been awesome in channel x for GTA v

[@TheProXOfficiwl]

*slow claps* hm

[@nelsonalvarez08]

[@bicklesby1]
