Cassette Love

Since I can't afford an mp3 player that works or makes sense (in english) and my discman is too old to have skip protect, I've been listening to my ipod MACRO ie. my walkman. I have probably about a 100 tapes, many mixed without labels. It's pretty great actually.
Here’s a rare jewel I just stumbled across tacked on at the end of a tape (my favourite song lyric ever in bold):

This is a song called metal head I think by a band called "Blotto."

Strange sensations coming over me
Something I can't explain
Suddenly there's an endless void where I used to keep my brain
I gotta see a doctor, but I'm too wasted to phone one
Wanna customize my van and I don't even own one
I get up in the morning and I wanna shave my chest,
Get myself a skull tattoo, wear a denim vest
My friends are getting worried
They don't know me anymore
I smash my head against the wall
I don't even know what for
Ah, ah, ah, Oh!
I'm turning into a heavy metal head
Ah, ah, ah
I'm turning into a heavy metal head
Something makes me lose control when I hear the guitar go--
Metal head, I'm a metal head and I wanna rock and roll
When I go to a rock show I wanna raise my fist
Show my band of leather and the spikes around my wrist
I've got my Harley T-shirt, my wine skin and a six pack,
Some homegrown for the ride back home, Van Halen on the 8-track
Ah, ah, ah, WWHAAAAA!
I'm turning into a heavy metal head (Heavy metal!)
Ah, ah, ah
I'm turning into a heavy metal head
Something makes me lose control when I hear the singer go--
Metal head, I'm a metal head, I just wanna rock and roll
(metal head, I'm a metal head, I wanna rock and roll)
1,2,3,4!
Strange sensations coming over me
Something I can't explain
Suddenly there's an endless void where I used to keep my brain
Ah, ah, ah, WWHAAAAA!
I'm turning into a heavy metal head (Heavy meta!)
Ah, ah, ah
I'm turning into a heavy metal head
Something makes me lose control when I hear the drummer go--
Metal head, I'm a metal head, and I wanna rock and roll
(metal head, I'm a metal head, and I wanna rock and roll)
I'm a metal head, metal head
I just wanna Rock and Roll!

1982. . .is there nothing you can’t do?
