Burnin' Bridges by Slaughter

SONG-Burnin' Bridges
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Stick It To Ya

YEAR-1989

If you are goin' to be burnin' bridges, you might as well have the lyrics, "liar, liar, with your pants on fire." This song is one of my favorites. Slaughter doesn't hold back telling all those silly "prissy" prissies that it's time to get on with their lives. Hit me while the flame is hot, why doncha?

All Fired Up by Slaughter

SONG-All Fired Up
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Back to Reality

YEAR-1999

"Got my motor runnin'." Heavy hitting, just like most of the songs on the Back to Reality album. Love how Mark Slaughter adds that extra "a" on his words. "Burn-a." There is some very innovative guitar playing on this track using futuristic-sounding riffs. "Burn-a!"

SONG-You're My Everything
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Revolution
YEAR-1997

Throwback to the gentle 70s, this love anthem sings to the heart of someone's everything. There's a flavor of The Eagles, "Tequila Sunrise" when Mark Slaughter sings, "Every night when the Sun goes down, all I want is to be around you," makes me want to sing, "Every night when the Sun goes down, just another lonely boy in town."

Songwriter-Mark Slaughter & Dana Strum

SONG-You Are the One
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Stick It To Ya
YEAR-1989

"You are the one, the one I need to make my dreams come true. Oh, you should know, I love you so."

Slaughter is really good at singing love ballads, even when I'm thinking of a different song every time I hear,  "You Are the One."

Compare Lionel Richie's "You Are."  "You are the sun, you are the rain, that makes my life this foolish game. You need to know I love you so."

As said before, Slaughter uses ambient sounds frequently at the end of their songs, but "Mad About You" has the noise factor at the beginning of the song. Mark Slaughter swings in on his vine with his sexy rockin' lyrics and hip shakin' fun. This song is one of his sexiest performances.

Mark Slaughter asks, "Can't you tell by the look in my eyes that I love you?" His eyes would drive anybody craaazy!

Times They Change by Slaughter

SONG-Times They Change

ARTIST-Slaughter

ALBUM-The Wild Life

YEAR-1992

"Here's a message to you my friend..."

I can picture Dana Strum strumming on his bass guitar as Mark Slaughter sings at the top of his lungs about how change is inevitable. There is also NO denying Tim Kelly's talent on the guitar and Blas Elias's backbeat. Other things that are inevitable are the ambient sounds and news clips Slaughter uses at the end of a song.
