sloshy's cover of "Because, It's Midnite"

Walkin' the streets, I got a feelin',
It's leather tough, you betta believe it.
Wakin' up late, asleep in the gutter.
Breakin' the chains, you better cut me some,
Cut me some...

I got the heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
(Because, it's midnite.)
I got the heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
(Because, it's midnite.)

Liquid and leather,
(Liquid and leather.)
In equal measure.
(In equal measures.)
Champagne glass.
(Champagne glass, champagne glass.)
Mix 'em together.
(Mix it, mix it.)

Sweet city sweat, vampire love,
Crimson flows down from the wings of a dove.
Oh, floatin' over the pavement, a guitar takes flight.
I'm wearin' really tight pants! Because it's midnite.

(I got the) Heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
(Because, it's midnite.)
I got the heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
All right, we're done here.

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • The format of the single is known as a split single with two different bands on one release. Split singles where two bands cover each other's songs are often done by indie labels to promote the label and the two bands, thus the page title.

Trivia

Remarks

  • The space background used in the space chase scene in the Easter egg has a noticeable seam.
  • In the Limozeen cover, the lead vocals are trilled in some parts, resulting in a rolled R sound even when there are no Rs.
  • The sloshy cover of "Because, it's Midnite" is shorter than the original. Specifically, it skips a whole verse, chorus, and solo (the line starting with "Sunset Strip"). This verse was originally included, then edited out. Lyrically, the verse is similar to Limozeen's version, except "bringing the metal back to where it belongs" is sung as "bringing the WHAT? back to WHAT?"
  • As mentioned in concert, one of the members of sloshy has his back to the camera throughout the Easter egg.
  • Counting all four songs together, this is the longest Short by nearly two minutes.
