Album: Cabin Fever (2002)
Lyrics excerpt:
We found an old doll that was out in the grass,
She had special powers, we said a Black Mass.
We sat in a circle all holding hands,
The doll-bed held together with old rubberbands.
She'll rise, she'll rise, she'll rise...
Reasons to love this song:
Or, rather, reasons to fear this song! Dark and/or bizarre subject matters are usual for Rasputina songs, but to me personally there is nothing more scary than children and children's toys -- especially old toys. I blame horror movies for this: whenever you see an old rocking horse, or the glassy stare of an antique doll, you know that something terrible is going to happen. So this song about girls saying a Black Mass over a dead doll is, to me, darker than their songs about cannibalism or the Inquisition. Melora Creager sings it in a childlike, merry voice, which just makes it more creepy. I don't want to know what happens when they sing: "Surprise! Surprise!"
