"Mary Black Mary Black Mary Black" is an old GoGoBots song and still fun to play. It's based on a common legend/prank for high schoolers or whatnot wherein one of them is dared to go into the bathroom alone and say the name of a local witch three times into the mirror. They claim that if you do that, the witch will come out and scratch your face. Well, you might scratch your face by bumping into something in the dark bathroom because you can't see, but nothing's going to come out of the mirror. The legend seems to be some sort of projection of fear of any woman having agency in a patriarchal culture. Team Fright also played this, and our buddies The Balomai Brothers sampled it for a song (I miss The BBs--maybe they'll pop up again some day). It's been a staple of the solo set for years. For this rerecording, I started with the drums instead of the guitar just to switch things up a bit. The keyboard pipe organ sounded good for a spooky song, and it sounds like I had a bit of fun with the effects on the percussion and multiple vocals. Otherwise, it's the usual vocals, drums, guitar, and keyboard as bass.
A shoutout to The Tinnitist for including "Gang Of Foreigner" on a recent playlist. Thanks again!
If you want to hear more music, then listen to the first Yeast? 7"!
