THE BEATERSBAND - Saturday Night

  


  Italian pop punkers THE BEATERSBAND (https://www.facebook.com/thebeatersvintagepunkrocknroll) are back with a classy new ep titled 52 Ways To Murder which is a timely release with the Halloween season (of the witch) just around the corner. I previously featured the 50's rock n roll influenced trio back in 2019 (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-beatersband-then-he-kissed-me.html) and they've been rather prolific since then with a steady stream of covers and original material. 




  The latest ep sees them tackle 4 Misfits covers with the sultry vocals of Donatella Guide breathing new life into those classic punk staples. 


  This is the opening track, it originally appeared on The Misfits' 1999 classic album Famous Monsters. It's called Saturday Night and it features the line that gives THE BEATERSBAND's ep it's name...

Hm, hmOh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh
There's 52 ways to murder anyoneOne and two are the same and they both work as wellI'm coming clean for AmyJulie doesn't scream as well and the cops won't listen all nightAnd so maybe, maybe I'll be overJust as soon as I fill 'em all in
And I can remember when I saw her lastWe were runnin' all around and havin' a blast, havin' a blastBut the back seat of the drive-in is so lonely without youI know when you're home
I was thinkin' about youThere was somethin' I forgot to sayI was tryin' on Saturday nightI was out cruisin' without youThey were playin' our songCryin' on Saturday night
As the moon becomes the nighttimeYou go viciously, quietly, awayI'm sitting in the bedroomWhere we used to sit and smoke cigarettesNow I'm watchin', watchin' you dieOh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I can remember when I saw her lastWe were runnin' all around and havin' a blastBut the back seat of the drive-in is so lonely without youI know when you're home
I was thinkin' about youThere was somethin' I forgot to sayI was tryin' on Saturday nightI was out cruisin' without youThey were playin' our songCryin' on Saturday night
Yeah, yeah, yeahTryin' on Saturday nightTryin' on Saturday night
