“Jason’s Mom”: ‘Friday the 13th’ Tribute Song from Ice Nine Kills Now Available on Streaming Services [Video]
“Jason can’t you see the love behind her killing spree?”
Just in time for Mother’s Day, we’ve learned this morning that the parody song “Jason’s Mom” from Ice Nine Kills has finally made its way onto streaming, one year after its initial release.
The track is of course a parody cover of the Fountains of Wayne song “Stacy’s Mom,” and it’s a fun little celebration of Mrs. Voorhees and the Friday the 13th franchise her love spawned.
“The track was originally released as part of ‘Fearless At Home’ livestream that aired in May 2020 and was an immediate hit with fans who have consistently requested the track be added to streaming services. Now, their wish has come true,” the press release announces.
“The track was originally released by Ice Nine Kills to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of classic horror movie, Friday the 13th. “Jason’s Mom” is a very special, acoustic parody in honor of one of the deadliest matriarchs in movie history and was released just in time for Mother’s Day last year. The performance was dedicated to Adam Schlesinger whose genius songwriting and smash hit, “Stacy’s Mom”, provided the inspiration for the song.”
You can now stream “Jason’s Mom” on Spotify, Pandora, or wherever else you listen to music.
It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
