Theme Song for Super Tuesday: Mark Lanegan (feat. PJ Harvey) - “Hit The City”
The dog descends through the promised land
Down kingdom come and the acid bath
I’m Babylon, burned inside out
Nothing to kill it.
I hit the city
How’s that for an opening to a song? I’ve been known to listen to the first 30 seconds just to hear that. I love it. Mark and Polly Jean, mixing it up, glorious and gritty. Amen.
Actually, I didn’t think of Super Tuesday when I thought of this song this morning. I was thinking of making it a theme for something entirely different. There’s a better than average chance I’ll be going to Las Vegas in September this year; hitting the city, as it were. Don’t think I won’t step off the plane, iPod plugged in, rocking this song.
I hit the city… (and pray it doesn’t hit back).
