The Vandals - Is There a Phantom in the Mall?

Here's the great closing track by The Vandals from the 1989 horror movie "Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge". This song seems to be quite hard to find on the internet, but I managed to find an mp3 of it, so I just had to share it... Enjoy!

This movie needs Blu treatment! Eric says so! A great capsule of '80's mall culture. Great song too. I dated a girl back in high school who had Live Fast Diarrhea in constant rotation in any environment she was in. Too bad this isn't on some sort of rarities and b-sides compilation.

While I have been unable to locate the official lyrics to this song anywhere, I tried deciphering the words by ear. This is all I believe that I heard: "Don't need to drive to Bexley, To get the things I need. don't got much in this town, but it's been good enough for me. Don't need no frozen yogurt, Don't want no GHQ. Just want a chance to grow up, in the same town where I met you. Is there a phantom in the mall? Folks are bound to ask. Is he the Phantom of the Mall? Or just some r****d in a broken hockey mask? Typical too smooth salesmen, Ain't my idea of fun. I can pick up my boots and trousers, down where I get my gun. Almost everything here, is here to make me sick Except those foxy outfits, they wear at Hot Dog on a Stick Is there a phantom in the mall? Folks are bound to ask. Is he the Phantom of the Mall? Or just some r****d in a broken hockey mask? Phase 1: Sorry Son, you're in the way, now you're out, well done. Phase 2: The Mayor's boobs. I like both of them, how about you? Phase 3: Four stories high, A place to shop, and a place to die. Phase 4: The Final Stage Fix them ties in the minimum wage. Is there a phantom in the mall? Folks are bound to ask. Is he the Phantom of the Mall? Or just some r****d in a broken hockey mask? First floor: the power of zoom. Checking out women in the dressing room. Floor 2: The place to be. The girls on a date after 12 or 13. Third Floor: I've seen it before. He's out for blood, now he's out for more. Top Floor: too much fast brick, I need that like a snake in my d**k. Is there a phantom in the mall? Folks are bound to ask. Is he the Phantom of the Mall? Or just some r****d in a broken hockey mask? Don't need to drive to Bexley, To get the things I need. don't got much in this town, but it's been good enough for me. Don't need no frozen yogurt, Don't want no GHQ. Just want a chance to grow up, in the same town where I met you. Is there a phantom in the mall? Folks are bound to ask. Is he the Phantom of the Mall? Or just some r****d in a broken hockey mask?" NOTE: If anyone reading this comment can correct any of my errors or otherwise help me decipher what I can't, PLEASE leave it in the replies, and I will add the correction as soon as I can. Thank you very much.

Dick. "I need that like a snake in my dick."

@@phoenixdragoon Thank you!

[@badguyrob]

You blocked "retard", but not "dick"?

@@badguyrob Oh, I was concerned about my comment vanishing from KZbin due to a language filter.

I gotcha. Mine hasn't so idk 🤷🏼‍♂️

Any idea where I can find the soundtrack? I can't find it anywhere online!

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

Or just some r word in a broken hockey mask. That is a crazy lyric that you can't get away with because of cancer culture.

[@PhantomRetrospective]

Or because it has roots as a derogatory term.

[@vicrules6666]

@@PhantomRetrospective Only one would say that.

[@PhantomRetrospective]

@@vicrules6666 Not really. It demeaned a minority group. Why should it be acceptable today? Many think such as I.

Do it man, reclaim the slur

The word is retard. Live with it.
