Animal (I $%&# like a beast) wasn't penned by Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P but Englebert Humperdink but his mum forbade him from performing it live. I know, that's what I thought.
Disgusting isn't it.

Fantastic.  I think I remember that - didn't the album cover have Blackie wearing a cod-piece with a circular saw blade coming out of it?

Mark.

That was Englebert

Just been watching the wire (season 1) and love the title music (Way Down in the Hole). Little did I realise that it is a Tom Waits song. I am supposed to be a Tom Waits fan and even have the album that it is on - I am thorougly ashamed of myself.
I think I hate being indecisive.

No, it was a picture (thankfully a painting rather than a photograph) of a Doberman sniffing a scantily clad young lady's crotch.

My mother burned my copy of Metal Hammer that had it advertised on the back cover :lol:

EDIT: Just remembered, that was actually the single of Animal rather than the album...

"The Green Manalishi with the Two Pronged Crown" (or whatever it's called) isn't a Judas Priest original.

(Would have to google it to find out who originally wrote it though...)
