(this was 2001, and I wasn't paying much attention to this music, so I do like the instrumental cover, the band song is ok, I guess for veteran headbangers)

18. We need an annual posting of the evolving list of banned words. Maybe on New Year's Eve. Followed by a three-day anything-goes purging. Then the clampdown can recommence.

Stranglers - Skin Deep (1984) www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt ...
www.azlyrics.com
... Many people tell you that they're your friend You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're recieving the signals they send Cos brother, you've only got two hands to lend ... Better watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep (Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep One day the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves are starting to creep Just remember the days As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep ...
...
Better watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep (Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep
One day the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves are starting to creep Just remember the days As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep ...

When the cover precedes the songwriter's version:
Manfred Mann, "The Mighty Quinn":
For Corky: When Dylan went through his Saved incarnation, one Jesus-inflected reviewer asked, "Who did everyone think the Mighty Quinn was?"
#30 | Posted by Dbt2 at 2026-09-26 09:27 PM | Reply
Dylan said he based the character on the film The Savage Innocents, in which Anthony Quinn played an Eskimo hunter.
I actually thought it was a drug song at the time; that the line was, 'everybody's going to want a dose (not doze)'.
But that was my Carlos Castaneda period, so....

You know who else 'went through' that period?
#32 | Posted by Corky at 2026-09-26 09:48 PM | Reply
er, should have been, 'went through that incarnation'.

- When the cover precedes the songwriter's version:
Dylan loved Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower; he even even adopted that arrangement for his own stage versions.
He never tongued his guitar, though, that I know of. &)
