    Drop Dead Legs

    Greetings,

    First post, long time DLR/VH fan. My favorite song off of 1984 has always been Drop Dead Legs. I think it's got a killer groove and love the "vampire" "betty boop" lyrics from Dave. However, as far as I know, this song was never played live by VH or DLR.

    My all time best experience with this tune was at a strip club is So Cal. I always thought it would be the ultimate stripper song. I couldn't believe my ears when this tune come on...and out comes this petite little lady with perky little breasts and just dances her heart out, best performance at a strip club I ever saw. Damn near had a heart attack, but it was lunch hour and I had to get back to work!

      Great story...and welcome to the Army...

      have always liked this tune...lyrically...

      and Ed's solo fucking rips...one of my favorite in-song solos...

      no doubt about it...a stripper song delux...

      Keep posting bro...good to have new fans to the site...

              I like the song. Don't love it. My best friend loved it and had to crank it up everytime it played.

              It was one of the few tunes off 1984 that they didn't play in Montreal in 1984 when I saw them.

                      If you don't like this song you're highly retarded.
                      "With a rate of fire of over 20 rounds per second, the IMI Micro Uzi is almost as fast as Yngwie Malmsteen, and 25.4 times more musical"

                      Worst of all... It's true..

                          This is a 5-star post. Welcome!

                          I've just checked the lyrics... I thought that, at the beginning of the second verse, Dave sang "Dig those boobs..."

                          I was so sure he did that I had never checked about it.

                          Anyway, "Drop Dead Legs" is a huge tune, maybe the greatest "groove" (as you said) in all 6 CVH albums.
                          Since 1984, though, I've always regretted that it was shunted in the end - who would have minded another verse by Dave and one or two more minutes of Ed's magic?

                                              Awesome story, Jess never did give me a strip tease to that song. What a shame, she coulda really smoked it up! Where's Doctor Roth, he humps that fucking song!
                                              I'm very proud of what was that band and what was that show and what it did mean to people. It disgusts me that it has turned into the complete opposite. That it now represents everything that I spoke against, that we suppoesedly represented the converse of. I don't want to have to remember that the team turned into that. Makes me question what the team was while I was a member. Was it all bullshit? If nothing else, it confirms in my mind that from my standpoint - yours truly, David Lee - not a fraction. If nothing else, this kind of morbid, wounded animal anger aimed my way has caused me to look deep into that bathroom mirror and come back to you with "my shit was legit." It was for real. And perhaps the test is time. Because here I am, a decade and a half later, haven't changed much. I look a little different, but not much. My sense of humour is about the same.
