Parody of "Failures (Of The Modern Man)" by Joy Division.
lyrics
Don't think that's a dinosaur
That's a carcass of a fangtooth eel
Hurricane took it from the ocean floor
Left it dying on a Texas shore
From the family of Op-hich-thi-dae
Tusky eel is its common name
Blown through the violent storm
Dead on the sand in its final form
He no longer denies
That's a carcass of a fangtooth eel
It's now all covered with flies
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
Climate changes made the hurricanes
Turning fishes into airplanes
News story with a monster hook
Click and bait we take a look
What a sad fatality
Desperate gaspings of the fangtooth eel
Some other fish could see
Mother Nature is the real deal
He no longer denies
That's a carcass of a fangtooth eel
Now now all covered with flies
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
Now that the hurricanes past
People will forget about the tusky eel
Environment is only getting worse
There's sure to be much more upheaval
No no its not the last
Rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
No no its days are past
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel

I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you! skritti
Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
