Blue Oyster Cult - Hungry Boys Lyrics

Love it or hate it....Buck just shreds it to the finish... 🤘

Them hungry boys! All ya have say is down boy💋🎸

There is always something sinister in BOC songs, even cheerful as this one!

WE’RE HUNGRY BOYS!!!!

That Buck Dharma is a mad man with a guitar. Totally solid and an extremely good soloist as well as rhythm player. The guitar playing in this song is masterful.

Criminally underrated guitarist.

me and the boys running for dinner

THIRSTY DOG liquor store is located in Preeceville, Saskatchewan Canada. Make sure if you visit, sing the chorus of this song when you walk in there except change Hungry Boys to Thirsty Dogs instead. Therefore sing, "We're thirsty dogs! Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty dogs ...

Heroin!

We / they were so cranked !

Who copied who ? Listen to the cars “down boys”....very similar in spots.

"Hungry Boys"

Sometimes it feels like you can't get enough
My buddies and me keep looking for the stuff
To make us feel the blood rushing through our veins
Just to keep on living is bound to be a strain

We're hungry boys!
We're hungry boys!
We're hungry boys!
We're hungry boys!
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!

Friday night we take off heading for the city
To dance with the lady from the white snow country
And if she takes us home and we get a little love
That's something can't get enough of

We're hungry boys!
We're hungry boys!
We're hungry boys!
We're hungry boys!
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!

Now look at Louie he's really got the need
Valerie's got the needle but she always makes him plead
Louie was the one who really brought the stuff to town
But the cops moved in and shot the operation down

That's why we're hungry boys!
That's why we're hungry boys!
That's why we're hungry boys!
That's why we're hungry boys!
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!

Guitar Solo Starts At 1:41 And It's Great! Grande Mr. Buck...

Song’s about Proinsias, right?

The solo from this along with Dominance and Submission are my fave Buck moments

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese... I really think so. Oops, wrong song. Decent song from a killer album. I bought "Cultosaurus Erectus" the week it was released. Great album!

Song was 5 years before the Vapors......

From the A yo the Z complet and perfect álbum. All songs has Magic and talent.
Good musicians composing bests tracks.
I think i Will say one of the twenty álbum that all musical lovers must to have at home..
Many thanks yo BOC

Wrong, 1974

Here's a 2018 BOC update from an original (1972) denizen.,,,,,,,,,,,Buck and the boys put on a GREAT show to give fond memories, a glamorous psych/morbid/science band. I can say this because I heard "Carrer of evil " when I was taking a piss in 1971.

Best song ive heard from this album

Speed Ball !!!

everybody loves rock shoud hear this full álbum...amazing all songs... gives happyness to everybody

This sounds a lot like an 80's New Wave song but the guitar solo rocks!

Otto Greenleaf yes sir you betcha there. Buck had a way of falling down the stairs and landing on his feet. It was very similar to another Guitar Hero, who got a whole lot more press at the time.

Specifically devo

Otto Greenleaf sounds like “down boys” from the cars.

An escape, who dares to blast. Hungry boys whom else. why is the question

I wasn't ready for this song when I first listened to this album. :D

horned swoop bungo pony

Albert Bouchard lead vocals, right ?

europis888 I think joe and al share it, then buck comes in pretty strong for the chorus.

I'm surprised a lot of people seem to dislike this song, I've always liked this song a lot and find it to be a very catchy tune.

I really dig just about everything B.O.C. has done, but this track was kind of a sleeper. It took me years to finally appreciate it fully. Had to look it up tonight to temporarily exorcise it, since it's been in my head all night.

Great Song !!

kids...don't listen to the words ;)

It was the eighties. A different time. A decade that will ever be matched!

I LIKE YOUR SONG BECAUSE ITS SOUND IS AWESOME :}

Obviously! Love this song. Listen to their albums on DVD in my car alllllll the time

Gawd I love this group....I will admit though,,,I freaked out on an acid trip listening(sic) to the Vigil..from mirrors..

Ron Welch I can definitely see that happening..lol. That is a fucking great song!

Always love when BOC take that unexpected left turn! What a great Punky/New Wavy campy song about junkie friends looking for heroin! Only the Cult would dare joke about that! That's what made them "different" from other bands!

dig that album cover

Timeless music!

@becbri1234 ;) lol

I AM HOOOONNNNNGGGGRRRRYYYYY FOR JULIANA!

where is the time, me and my aaaaaiiiirguitar, hell yeah

That monster on the cover may have been seen by one of the guys when they did a little too much.

me dio hambre, a pesar de saludois lalo

I always thought a much too Pop song for the Cult -until,as usual, Buck unleashes. Another homerun post from the Wizard.

Rock n' roll!!!!!

Doobie1975, thank you for mentioning "Just Me and the Boys" by NRBQ. I haven't heard that song since about 1883! lol! That song and this one are in the same key (E) so that gives them a similarity.

roll it, smoke it, put another line out...we're hungry boyzzz

For some odd reason this song reminds me of NRBQ's "Me and the Boys", they sound kind of similar to each other

Doobie1975 and the cars “down boys”.

love this song! the lyrics must be about drugs right? whatever, I party to this song no matter what its about!! BOC FOREVER!!

To me it sounds like something from the Panorama album by The Cars.

TheBSPolice yes! Like down boys from panorama!!!!

Yes, a bit of new wave influence here...no problem...Rush's album with 'Tom Sawyer' had a distinct Police influence in places.
