Blue Oyster Cult - Joan Crawford Lyrics

Me: Phew, it’s cold in here. I’m gonna wear my wood on my hea-
Teacher: 1:28

Great Band - Great Álbum - Great song

great album. yum yum music

Excellent, classic, unforgettable rock !! Love it. I feel so old now... damn 😠

Joan Crawford .......Like Biden..........AAHHhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

So badassest piano...!

celebrities putting guns in the hands of little kids to hide behind the skirts of little girls in pubs

Imagine being named Joan Crawford

Imagine having a mother named Joan Crawford.

First time listening to this song.
No regrets!!!!

Does anyone know why the video for this song is banned on youtube? This and the Golden Brown from The Stranglers, for instance...Old music videos...They are inappropriate?

Joan Crawford sure could like haunt an entire city

Still recall Faye Dunnaway as Crawford in the film CHRISTINA. Great film. Saw it on pay tv.

this sounds like a soundtrack song from "the rocky horror show" movie.

This was written by the Pet shop boys! how bizarre

3:16 - would not be out-of-place in an Alice Cooper of King Diamond song...

you know i was starting to think about 1 minute in "this sounds just like an Alice Cooper song!"

Good timing: a couple days ago Movies! On TV ran "Baby Jane"...!

Love the piano riff

Faye Dunaway. This ain't her first trip to the rodeo.

So this is where that band Ghost stole a lot of their sound..

I love ghost

@HiHello98765 i love ghost too

When I see Kim Crawford wine at the supermarket I can't stop myself from thinking about this song, always get a good laugh

this album is criminally underrated.

It sold well over a million copies .. but yes it's still underrated because it's stellar ...

1:28
When the pizza parlour asks if you want pineapple

Why WOULD the pizza parlour ask if you want pineapple? You have to ask for it directly. the parlour asks if you want a soda with it.

@Kurotaisa If it were my pizza I would say "No fuckin mushrooms!"

apparently 80 people have their tongues up trivium's ass

Cool song but Christina’s story is a prosecution without a defense! And it has more holes than Swiss cheese. Plus she keeps changing it.
But everybody was buying it when her book came out (well, the movie) including I suppose BÖC! 😳
She’s a bitter nut job, not Joan. Many people have disputed most of that crap including Faye Dunaway who called Mommie Dearest “kabuki theater” and refused to meet with Christina. And the younger twins Joan had adopted.
Christina wanted to be an actress but she didn’t have her mother’s talent or looks. So she’s taken her revenge. And all these takers who don’t dare ask questions... we have to believe what ANY potential abuse survivor says.?? Automatically.?! Because they CAN’T possibly be lying!! Laughable. Poor Joan though .. she did her best. I don’t believe that thankless child. She married three times yet never changed her name !!! Umm, why?? Because of $$$$!!! If the childhood was so abusive you’d think she would want to ditch that name! But no, it’s famous and that’s what she wants. She is a D list celebrity but that name belonged to an A Lister of A Listers.

I don’t doubt that she had a crazy childhood.. who didn’t!? Esp in Hollyweird. But this tale was way over the top. Most sane people know that now.

Yes, She's Risen From The GRAVE............. AS AN OLD RUSTY COAT HANGER, TRACKING CHRISTINA.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🤘💙

Dracula has risen from the Grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave!

you dont want real necromancy.

Hilarious. They should perform this on Letterman.
Wait its 2019 and Letterman is retired.

HA HAHA HA HA HA

FUCKING twisted and sick...Joan Crawford would love this...hell i love it joan crawford LIVES ...CHRISTINA SUCKS COCKS THAT SMELL

(According to google)

Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat

No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara
They chain themselves to the axles of big Mack trucks
The sky is filled with hurt and shivering angels
The fat lady lives! Children, start your trucks

No, no no no, no no no no no no no no
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

(Christina, mother's home!
No, no
Christina
No, no, no, no
Come to Mother
No, no, no, no, no no no no no no
Christina)

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen

The best thing about this is that the end part transitions so well into other songs.

I laughed my ass off because I remember her. What a true bitch

Underrated song.

This is one of my favorite BOC songs in their entire canon. Though yes, it doesn't/didn't get the radio play like things like Godzilla, Burnin' For You, (Don't Fear) The Reaper, et al., did.

The piano opening etc. are like neo-classical.


To quote Darth Vader: "Impressive...... most impressive"

What does this song mean?? Who is Joan Crawford??? Why did an ant just almost give me a heart attack????

First question : apocalipsis, end of the world as we know it. Second Q: A fine actress, Third Q: I don't understand it.

This whole album is a masterpiece, especially the track that was - and the others that were written but not - used for Heavy Metal.

Allen Lanier

I am only finding out about these later boc albums. Good stuff

Damn was Martin Birch an amazing producer, he brought a revolution in hard rock productions with his powerful sound even before focusing on Maiden. That drums sound....

Did she really spread the clap all over Hollywood?

King of Rock BOC!

Epic BOC song one of my favs!

I built a house to this song (and album) with 6 people singing chorus while we banged nails. We all tried to reach new heights with "RISEN!" God bless you all and Blue Oyster Cult

So this is were Ghost got their first big hit from...

Was she even dead,when they wrote this? :)

3:15 Christina, Christina.....creepy.

Fantastic

I remember seeing them doing this song live 5 years ago. After it drops after the piano made me jump so bad

Ótima música, harmônia perfeita entre os instrumentos, simplesmente demais!

Great Band / Song Amazing 👊😎

CAME TO FRUICTION IN 2016? DID IT NOT?

We will be just fine as long as there is a copy of this album somewhere in the world. BOC had power, they are truly their own band, cult, and beyond most their peers.

this is one of the best rock songs ever written. that Blue Oyster Cult still hasn’t been inducted into the supposed rock n roll hall of fame just goes to show what a pile of crap it is. they’ll induct madonna but not Blue Oyster Cult ??? that’s bullshit.

BOC have at least 40 better songs than this one .... that's just how good they were ...way too good for the Hall of Shame ...

A thoughorly delicious heavy metal song..

63 people use ... wire... HANGERS!!!!!!

THANK"S I NEEDED THIS*

Damn I love this song! This song, sole survivor, Don’t turn your back and veteran of the psychic wars will always be in my favorite.

Love It--------B.O.C

you already know

I love that little part at 4:22 I just love it

WAOOOO!!!!!! WHAT A SONG!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE A GOOD OLD WINE!!!!!!!!

?Is it the policemen or the little girls eyes that turn the color of frzen meat

Amazing. I used to listen to this album over & over

Right on Bro. Same here.

2 days doing same thing

we got a bunch of cow bells in the big house now

Holy cow , i love this song so much

In “the revenge of vera Gemini”, when the woman’s voice says “you are boned like a snake, with the consciousness of a saint” it used to freak my buddies and myself out while we were shooting pool in one of their basements – it was always unexpected! LOL

That's Patti Smith's voice ....

I WAS BAD KID YOU WOOD NOT WANT

I know i melted bobby pins in electric out lets if mother hadn't have stoppen me i was going for coat hangers next

The first video to be BANNED on MTV!

I SAID FUCT THAT WAS OWSLEEY AND SHE SAID YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE BOTY

Gave her eight way hit came back and she said I see more than you do

Well Ms. Needles, you weren't lying

Vaya grupazo 😱

BOC was the bomb, for sure! And so was Joan...she was cool, folks!

Not with her daughter, though.

BOC was my first rock concert in oh, February 1976. I saw them again at McNichols Arena in Denver in 1982. I saw Led Zeppelin live in June 1980 in Frankfurt. I have been arguing with myself ever since which band put on the best show!! I want to say BOC is the best! Zep was 90 minutes late for the show but came out and played for 3 hours!! I'm still arguing with myself!!

When i first listened to it i was lying on my bed in the dark and when she said christina a teddy bear that i had above my bed fell on my back. Still scares the shit out of me.

They played this last night when I saw them in fort walton

Only BOC could do this song which is at once amusing and amazing.

Great song, the whole album is fantastic, one of my fave rock albums .

This whole album is like platinum laying at your feet.. so profound!

that cutoff at end... why?! i must hear the final part!

ummmm....just saying.... played at crisp level to an open bedroom door to a 8-11 yrd. It can be fun for the next morning or so of fun. But really....do it! its sooooo funy!

This song always reminds me what a bitter whore Joan Collins was. LMAO!

yum yum music

I like fire of unknown origin but god damm secret treaties is amazing

Brooklyn!

Catholic school girls are throwing away their mascara. They chain themselves to the axles of big mac trucks. I love Blue Oyster Cult.

Who the fuck downvotes this?????????????

The ghost of Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford was christened Lucillle Fay LeSueur, March 23 1905. She also was called Billie Cassin. She lived in San Antonio from 1905 to 1910. Kansas City 1910 to 1912, Lawton OK from 1912 to 1920. Her father was Thomas LeSueur and Anna Johnson.

Those junkies in Brooklyn are going crazy

Joseph Stalin has risen from the grave.

oh god oh fuck

My goooood

STALIN tem bom gosto musical

I lol'd.

I don't get the reference, but yes, Marx was better. Look into him. Even Lenin was more admirable than Stalin in my perspective. Funny thread though.

Anyway, how's your sex life?
