Marilyn Manson - Vodevil [Music Video]

“Vodevil“ is the thirteenth track on the 2003 release The Golden Age of Grotesque. It’s title is wordplay of “vaudeville“; double-meanings are heavily made use of on The Golden Age of Grotesque. The song is about various experiences including a lawsuit Manson was involved in with a bouncer who he rubbed his crotch on, the Columbine Massacre, and a girl who died in a car accident while she was on drugs that Manson allegedly supplied her with. The line “I want downloadable suicide“ was first used in the vocal track of the short film Doppelherz, which was recorded on April 1, 2002. It was reworked as “Version point (less) downloadable suicide“. Vodevil is a dramatic subgenre of frivolous comedy, light and spicy which leads to misunderstandings and comic situations in the sung parts alternating with musical numbers. Its name derives from the French vaudeville. The lines “Kiss baby Kiss/ Bang baby Bang/ Suck baby Suck“ may be a reference to the David Bowie song “Cracked Actor“, #marilynmanson #metal #music #live #new #musicvideo #song #rock
