I’m 48, and discovered these guys in high school and never stopped listening to them. This song is one of many absolute gems. They are the musical equivalent of a washed out T-shirt you can never stop wearing to a run down amusement park haunted house by the sea.

This is probably my favorite song ever

One of my all time favorite songs... "Ooh baby when you cry, your face is momentary, you hide your looks behind these scars" has always been such a cool lyric to my mind.

I saw an interview once where Danzig was discussing this song. Apparently he had just watched the first alien movie and that spawned the " r*pe your face" part of the song and is where the hybrid reference came from. I love the misfits but am partial to the Danzig era especially. Static age is one of my all time favorite albums.

If you want misfits lyrics just do what Cliff did Call Glen Danzig in the middle of the night and annoy him until he gives you the lyrics 🤣

It’s basically perfect

I like how you comment on how unique the chord structure is and them not following music theory. In reality I'd imagine it has something to do with inexperienced teenagers making music. When there's no rules to follow, something called creativity is born. Hope you can continue to explore the unique and taboo, at least musically. Enjoy yourself!

I agree with the inexperienced teenager concept. One of the first riffs I ever wrote was in mixed meter, so when I tried to write a second guitar part for it, I got pissed off about how it didn’t work. Thought I was doing something wrong and shelved it. About 3 or 4 years later, I realized I have a natural tendency to write time signature changes, but I just didn’t have the music theory knowledge at the time. Teenagers creating freely can be a powerful thing! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

​@@MidnightNotionI can assure you these guys still know SFA musical theory. Doyle in a recent interview says he has to be told how to play the songs and he walks around his yard every day with an acoustic just inventing riffs. And Jerry chose to play bass because he figured it took the least effort to play in a band.

Bro this song is just so amazing to me ive listened to it hundreds and hundreds of times and it never gets dry or boring to me its so short yet so awesome.

The entire Glenn Danzig saga is their best. It's my favorite punk band of all time. My opinion obviously is that they are the GOAT punk band. They took what everyone else was doing and went darker, faster, with more attitude and inventive style. They influenced a subgenre for fucks sake. Hard-core punk. Black Flag wouldn't exist if it wasn't for them and so many others that went to influence my all-time favorite band Pantera. The Misfits were the essence of my rebellious spirit in my formative years. A part of who I will always be.

I didn't get into the Misfits until 2001 and Saturday Night was the tune that drew me in and when I went through their library I was hooked. Hybrid Moments, Astro Zombies and Brain Eaters have always been top tracks when I used to burn CD's lol oh yeah liked and subbed. Cheers

It change all the time when you listen more to it. I remembered when I was in highschool, my teacher ask us to talk about that we are listening and misfits was the I was into. So I played the song with lyrics and the rest is history

According to Glenn, he says " it's about violence " as with most of his explanations... Glenn Danzig is a living legend...🤘😎😎

Would love to hear more old Misfits song reactions by you! Also another project they did was Samhain (in the 80s). They have some great songs as well! Keep rocking!

Reminder: Doyle only played down strokes! Based off the playing style of Johnny Ramone...

The legacy of brutality is Glenn playing all instruments and vocals. Mixed the other guys out and paid them no royalties. As the Brutality album was released post Misfits.

Don't really need lyrics. With Glenn Danzig's superb vocals you can hear every word, he's exceptionally clear. The Misfits have a unique thing with Glenn's ballad vocal style that makes them timeless and will always be listened too and that band really had a blue collar thing going down they worked their butts off. Danzig could have chosen any style and been a pop music smash but he stayed true to himself and we got the Misfits. It couldn't have worked out better.

I'd suggest checking out Theme For a Jackal from the same album. It's one of the very rare occasions they use a keyboard and it's not a well known song, but I like it because it's a bit different from the others.

I’m not a huge fan of Tool, but The Pot is one of my top favorites from them. I think Vicarious takes the win, though. Big fan of the rhythms in both songs.

I don’t think music theory is going to gel well with 80’s punk rock and hardcore. Most of these guys were high school age when they wrote their best stuff. Hybrid moments by the misfits is one of the best punk rock songs EVER and a bunch of kids wrote it which is the amazing point here. Misfits music is timeless

Good song good band thank you sir

Go ahead and deconstruct The Cramps, maybe Bikini Girls… Or maybe Violent Femmes “Kiss Off” or “Add It Up”

Listen "she"

you dont need to tell us what the song is about. Its about violence, right fiends XD ps, punk in itself, especially pop pung, or those very melodic punk bands are catchy tunes, but early misfits, yea, i dont know ANY band that has THAT much of a catchyness, simple, from the start it just hooks you, upbeat sing along stunes

The version from legacy of brutality is better than static age
