until now, when i just had to finally check to be sure, i always thought the last line in a chorus of a song called the boys in the backroom was: "and tell them i died of the plague"
but it is actually: "and tell them I died of the same"
i'm kind of disappointed.
hear the version i have been listening to for yourself... mp3 can be downloaded here: http://www.divshare.com/download/3292694-46f
- song lyrics
See what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I'm having the same
Go see what the boys in the backroom will have
And give them the poison they name
And when I die don't spend my money
On flowers and my picture in a frame
Chorus:
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
And when I die don't buy a casket of silver
With the candles all aflame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
And when I die don't pay the preacher
For speaking of my glory and my fame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have
And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
excerpt from a great interview with josh homme of queens of the stone age and kyuss on antiquiet
Antiquiet: Is the Queens sound a conscious or deliberate atmosphere?
Josh Homme: The thing is, that’s from years of doing whatever
you want. Everything you do is habit-forming. You will form a habit of
one style or another. And it might as well be getting people used to
the notion that you’re going to do whatever you want. ‘Cause all the
other habits include cow-towing to what somebody else wants. And
there’s never a time to do that in music. As I understand it, your
obligation is to play your favorite music that no one else plays, so you
have to. And my favorite music is hooky, quirky, arty, dark,
surprising, heavy, groovy, soft, emotional but not emo. It wears a
sweater because it’s cold, not because it’s stylistically there.
Antiquiet: And it doesn’t try to fit into girl pants.
Josh Homme: Yeah, like there’s enough room for your cock and
balls in your pants. And it’s in touch with its feelings, but it’s not
a fucking pussy, man. Like, I need Lee Marvin, and I need Robert
Mitchum. But I don’t need Sylvester Stallone, unless it’s Tango and
Cash, ’cause that movie is fucking awesome. Or unless it’s my new steak
cologne called Stologne.

Anna... as you know, he's my future husband, but I will share him with you ;)
That's good stuff. They were on the Anthony Bourdain X-Mas Special last night. It was pretty funny and the QOTSA all had on the worst holiday sweaters. Josh Homme was pretty funny on it.
