Limp Bizkit Graces Us With Lyrical Gold From Their Upcoming Album
Rap nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, the greatest group of musicians that has ever walked amongst us mere mortals, has made a post on their Facebook page that features supposed lyrics from a track off the band’s upcoming album Stampede Of The Disco Elements. The followup to 2011’s Gold Cobra, SOTDE will continue the band’s legacy of brilliant songwriting and lyrical poetry, all held together by the operatic, engaging, 14-octave voice of Fred Durst.
Head on below to read the Nobel Prize For Literature-worthy lyrics below.
Back, it’s the mother fuckin’ Rock God
So poker faced ladies going GaGa
That’s right it’s Freddy D
The public enemy
You know the one that had Britney droppin’ to her knees
I don’t give a fuck
I probably never will
Bitch get at me if that ass is like Jessica Beil’s
Who’s down with me tonight?
You know I’ll treat you right
You’re safe with me until they’re turning on them ugly lights
So throw them fingers up
And finger fuck the sky
She like the way we pump it
I call her pumpkin pie
I ain’t about to lie
I came up in here high
If you don’t like it I’ll bust you in your fucking eye
‘Baby you’re a rock star’
I know who the fuck I am
40 million records later
I am still the fucking man
All I want to do is rock
All she wants to do is roll
Now she’s at my house
Sliding up and down that pole

Synthwave outfit GUNSHIP has released a new official music video this morning for their cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” featured on the soundtrack to Corin Hardy’s (The Nun, The Hallow) supernatural horror film Whistle.
To bring it full circle, Corin Hardy directs the music video himself, incorporating previously unseen footage from Whistle. More specifically, the new music video features an extended sequence from the film.
This collaboration builds on GUNSHIP’s longstanding relationship with Hardy, who previously contributed vocals to the band’s track “Cthulhu.”
“Working with Corin is a total dream,” said GUNSHIP. “He’s an old friend who we bonded with over our love for cinema and music, and we were honored to have our song featured in the film. After the Whistle premiere, we were chatting over a pint, and he told us about a beautiful pseudo ‘one shot’ sequence he was heartbroken to lose in the final film. We suggested resurrecting it and using it as a music video. Corin got it immediately, and the result is perfect. It’s heartbreaking, haunting and pure 80s noir soaked.”
Corin Hardy added: “I wanted Whistle to feel like a horror movie I might have watched around the late 1980s, alongside films like A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Lost Boys, and The Breakfast Club. Films steeped in teen-angst and heightened feelings. Music was such a huge part of creating the romance of those cinematic worlds. Gunship’s synth-drenched cover of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ was always top of my list. Their unique heart-on-your-sleeve sound was the perfect choice for a key moment in the movie. To come together post-release and create this extended music video is simply the cherry on top. Dan, Al & Al (Gunship) have provided the film a real companion piece in the world of Whistle… it makes me want my MTV again!”
It’s a fitting collaboration, as music serves a narrative purpose in Whistle. Music, the director told Bloody Disgusting, was a means of immersing viewers in this world and its characters’ perspectives. Hardy even touched on this particular track: “So in a way, the music you’ll listen to is effectively what Chrys is listening to, which is her dad’s record collection. Then there are other songs like the Gunship track, which is a Cyndi Lauper cover, which is more like Rel’s [Sky Yang] music. It comes in when we have a sequence in Rel’s romantic heartbreak moment. So yeah, I made a character list of who might be listening to what.”
Whistle sees a misfit group of unwitting high school students confronted with mortality when they blow a cursed Aztec Death Whistle, setting a terrifying chain of events in motion.
Dafne Keen (Logan, “The Acolyte“), Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Jhaleil Swaby (“Supergirl”), Ali Skovbye (Grizzly Night, “Firefly Lane”), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”), Michelle Fairley (“Game of Thrones”), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).
The supernatural teen horror movie is available to stream on Shudder now.
