It's been 7 years since The Priceduifkes (https://www.facebook.com/thepriceduifkes) last featured on here (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-priceduifkes-its-raining-shit.html) but they return today with a track from their very fine new album Dancing Dirty.
They're from Belgium, they've been together since 2003 and I always pronounce their name wrong when I play them on the show (apologies for that). I even made the same mistake on this week's show even though they pronounced it themselves at the end of the song I was playing!
Anyway, the album, damn it's good. The opening track, Dancing Dirty, went down as well in the chatroom as anything I've played this year. Happily it's not the only gem in this musical treasure trove. It's out on Striped Music (https://stripedmusic.com/lp-the-priceduifkes-dancing-dirty/) available on vinyl, cd and digital : https://thepriceduifkes.bandcamp.com/album/dancing-dirty
To demonstrate how strong the album is, I'm highlighting one of the non singles. This is Water Balloons To A Knife Fight...
Brought a water balloon to a knife fight
Guess I showed up the wrong night
The atmosphere was cooler when I was here in daylight
The wrong place at the wrong time
The story of my dumb life
Might be better to stay home to make sure that I survive
Brought a laser pen to a mud-catch
How long before they get mad
And throw me out of this place
So I miss out the big match
Why can’t I behave like I should
Fuck it, I wouldn’t if I could
I’m kind of a wannabe bad boy
Too good to be up to no good
There’s this difference between what I do and I say
It’s something I can’t help, happens every other day
But if I say tomorrow I will fuck things up
You bet I’ll fuck shit up
Brought my new girlfriend to the punk show
Good idea? I don’t think so
Shoved her in the pogo pit
And now her ribs are so sore
She said that I’m abnormal
I thought she meant adorable
Either way, it’s fine, she’s probably right but I don’t mind
And in the morning I feel quite alright
Start to think about what I did last night
Should I feel sorry, should I be ashamed
Forget it, I won’t have it
I’m feeling great today
Too good to be up to no good
Too bad, I’m better than all that
Guess I showed up the wrong night
