Lol at evil David Bowie. I am sure Mr. Murphy appreciates that.

[@DesmondDoom]

Haha yep, either Evil Bowie or Goth Iggy. Hope you're well Mrs A!

[@spinglasshydra]

@@DesmondDoom Goth Iggy ― Now that's good. Since I know Peter, he'd really love this, so I'm sending it to him.

​@@spinglasshydra I have to know...how did he take it?

[@EB1878]

Goth Iggy and Evil David Bowie, those would make awesome cover band names. Love it! ❤️

[@CurtRowlett]

As a lifelong Bauhaus fan, I can honestly say that this demonstration is highly accurate. (Nice job).

[@lt7601]

No

[@wolfmauler]

No it's not lol 😂. It's got Daniel Ash down though 🤔

[@TheOwl]

Additional note, play guitar strings with a drumstick for more eeriness.

[@Saffron-sugar]

As a lifelong Bauhaus fan myself,I get it …. Needs to be a bit more sinister and poetic

[@sharonlee4773]

Totally agree-NAILED it!

[@dzhankidzhankoy9216]

All these "how-to's" are made with irony, with great skills and with love to the bands. All at the same time. These small videos are brilliant. The only thing I don't like about them is that they are only 1 minute long. I need full versions.

[@DesmondDoom]

Cheers bruv. They're all made with love as cheeky tributes. There's a full version of one coming out in maybe a week, keep an eye out...

[@pryingeyes1551]

That Peter Murphy impression is disturbingly good.

[@MIKERUPTION]

These " How to write a _______ song" videos are brilliant!!! You capture the essence of it.

[@JohnMoseley]

Makes me want to have a go myself: Maldoror, his song is sung The fishman lives in an iron lung The needle falls in the dying light The umbrella opens in the dead of night It's a dissection It's her last goodbye It's vivisection Of the mermaid's thigh

Yeah! The 9 minute one

[@TangiersIntrigue]

Seconded.

[@NicholasBudi]

Bauhaus' version of Ziggy Stardust is the bomb!

[@solitarianihilista1454]

Okay, hats off that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. The world awaits with bated breath your 1 minute take on The Sisters of Mercy.

[@SviatoslavKaverin]

y e s The classic Sisters are considered, I hope. The 1983-5 period. The further periods (87-93, and the no-album-touring period) may be treated separately, since they really differ.

[@DesmondDoom]

We shall see ;)

Precisely.

[@julianhermanubis6800]

These just keep getting better and funnier. They're parodies, yes, but also appreciative and knowledgeable about the bands. And I see I'm not the only one who wants you to target Siouxsie and the Banshees next. LOL

[@DesmondDoom]

Cheers buddy! I dunno if I can pull that off with a male voice, she sounds like if Bowie and Robert Smith had a daughter but has her own thing going on as well.

[@julianhermanubis6800]

@@DesmondDoom I'd thought about that, i.e., the vocals. Maybe it's time for a guest vocalist? Anyway, love what you're doing, both the parodies and your regular music.

[@dagmarramgad5441]

I’m currently sick as a dog and just discovered your channel. These (how to create) videos are just killing me (in a good way) I subbed immediately. Great content

[@Tony_Collins]

IASIP "magnets and green ghouls"...fav Bauhaus song is "She's In Parties", great job once again Desmond...you really have the 80's spirit in you!

[@GwenActually]

I didn't know that line but I'm surprised it's in such a common song as that. I've heard that song so much in the goth scene I don't really pay attention lol

[@Tony_Collins]

​@@GwenActually the line is not from a Bauhaus song, but rather from a wonderfully twisted tv series called ''It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia''! One of the main characters (Charlie) is getting help from two other main characters (Mac & Dennis) setting up an account on a dating site. When asked what he likes, he says these words to his friends, sending them into a combination of confusion and frustration. You could say that they're ''acting their reaction...''

[@SherryeLyn]

My fav Bauhaus song is ALSO "She's in Parties" -- and yes, that "magnets and green ghouls", thing was hilarious, ha ha! "Special effects by lunatics and..." exacty how many drinks?

[@ericsmit5351]

The best song I've heard from "Bauhaus" since the early 80ies ! You should write their next album ;-)

You must continue these tributes! You're complimenting the artists, Desmond🖤 The coin trick is ghastly good.

[@EB1878]

My favorite bauhaus song is Bite My Hip. This was totally awesome! Nailed it to near perfection. Definitely you need to send this not only to Peter Murphy, but also David J, Daniel Ash, and Kevin Haskins. I bet they'd enjoy this, and who knows, maybe even use this "how to" song on a future album and turn it into an instant hit with credit going to the original creator of course. ❤️🦇🙂👍👏👏

[@noxgabriel5987]

i love bite my hip, it introduced me to gothic rock as a whole

[@mazriiv666]

Dude You have to make an entire song of this.

[@michaellee2387]

Spot on, Fell outta my chair laughing 🤣. Rose Garden Funeral of Sores (okay, it's a John Cale cover, but my favorite, nevertheless...)

[@chinard]

She's on the potty... She's in the can!

[@raymessina3994]

Everything was so perfect. Weave in Always Sunny In Philly. Hard to pick a Bauhaus fav... for the sake of filling in the blank tho, "In A Flat Field".

[@TheLuvecerviere]

That outro was dignified.

[@casey7817]

These parodies are spot on. Please keep making them lol

[@ZachyRob1]

So spot on, dude. "The Passion of Lovers" is my preferred jam.

[@MrEwanc]

Well, I like it 😂 great effort..! I absolutely love Bauhaus, I'm 57 and I saw them when I was 16 in 1982, by that time I'd been a fan for about 18 months, so since school days, and I still think they're genius, their music is so unique and was so innovative in 1980, and I understood it because I grew up on gothic themes in the 70s as I spent my childhood weaned on Hammer horror movies. I give myself some credit for having good taste as a kid because most of my school mates hated Bauhaus, they preferred the Specials or Madness (I did love the Specials too...), but they just didn't get it, not many did back then, although Bauhaus had a following. My favourite Bauhaus song..? There can be only one ... MASK! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, and I still listen to Bauhaus regularly to this day, one of my top playlists on Spotify. Also love Double Dare and Rose Garden Funeral of Sores... Sheer greatness!

[@andreasboose5611]

Hey this is absolutely incredible !! As a huge Bauhaus Fan : You nailed all the important Things !!! 🖤

[@GarydeBrown]

Dude, the way you break down all my fav artists songs to their elements is really fascinating as someone whose into music but doesn’t actually play. It’s really interesting.

[@carter358]

The coin on guitar strings effect sounds great!!!

[@TheoAndHisPedals]

Freaking nailed it again!

[@billybartcody3591]

When first attempting a Peter Murphy impression in my youth, it instantly occurred to me that he was imitating Bowie, so I took on and learned both in tandem. Bowie has a much more expansive range, so I can only do some of his songs whereas I can nail anything Murphy sings. The real fun comes when you start applying Murphy's voice to shit like Kim Carnes or Neil Diamond, kills every time.

[@2112jonr]

On the positive side and for balance, at least neither of them throw glass into their audiences....

[@bones1825]

double dare or dark entries for me......

[@marquisdecarabas1312]

🦇❤️The passion of lovers❤️🦇 is my favorite one...but there are many others i love, too.."all we ever wanted was everything" for example. Ziggy Stardust cover was great, too. 👍 "Bela Lugosis dead" is special to me because my favorite Pub was called Bela Lugosi...they had to change their location three times...and at every last night before location change they played the song on full volume 😂 No bonus points for me...i dont habe a clue whats about tbis magnets and green ghouls. 😕

[@eunicee999]

That’s my favorite one too (passion of lovers)❤ and dark entries
