Riff: Eagles of Death Metal – “Complexity”

Jun 16, 2015

I try to make it easy, never stop the flow/Just keep it simple let a little skin show/My socks and underwear I like to keep them clean/It’s so easy, without complexity

from Complexity lyrics by Eagles of Death Metal

Always a tongue-in-cheek affair w/ a surprising legit rock bite, the wry duo aren’t breaking the rawk-flash comedy mold here, lifting the near exact melody from Death By Sexy‘s opener, but the new KISS message has merit, even if “Shanky McBuzcock” swears that last ‘s’ does indeed stand for ‘stupid’.
