Dance For Me Baby by Slaughter

SONG-Dance For Me Baby
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-The Wild Life
YEAR-1992

"Dance For Me Baby" paints a picture of Slaughter's fandom at a rock and roll show. Fans are going wild and dancing for the band members in the parking lot, in front of the stage and backstage, too. "Why don't you dance for me baby, and show me a little action?" It's all part of the "Wild Life" and the Las Vegas scene Slaughter is known for in the second album of their inception. Good time rock and roll!

Breakdown 'n' Cry by Slaughter

SONG-Breakdown 'n' Cry
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Fear No Evil
YEAR-1995

Slaughter's "Breakdown 'n' Cry" is a searing tearjerker, reminiscent of the dreamy sweet and sexy voice of Tommy Bolin. "Breakdown 'n' Cry" is about loss, much like the band's hit, "Fly to the Angels." Lead singer Mark Slaughter hits the high notes with power and emotion so well, it makes me want to Breakdown 'n' Cry.

American Pie by Slaughter

SONG-American Pie
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Revolution
YEAR-1997

Slaughter's "American Pie" is reminiscent of 60s and 70s "flower power" songs such as any of Badfinger's catchy tunes or the Jeff Barry and Andy Kim penned tune for the Archies, "Sugar, Sugar." On the cosmic coattails of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, the glam metal hard rock band of Slaughter takes you into cyberspace where everything's outta sight.
