if anybody is gonna know this, it’s gonna be Marilyn’s #1 super fan!
ahem
Mr. Voidhead, sir,
What exactly is Marilyn Manson singing in the demo version of “The Beautiful People?”
Normally he sings:
“hey you what do you see?
something beautiful something free
Hey you are ya’ trying to be mean
You live with apes man it’s hard to be clean”
but in the Demo version he is clearly not singing that
the only line that is the same is “you live with apes man it’s hard to be clean”
I hear something about filth and disease but I can’t even come close to making it out.
Thank you in advance for your timely and serious reply… you are truly a scholar and a gentleman and a musical innovator and who, by the way, will surely go far if given the proper chance and who has excellent taste in CK underwear, art and artistic merit, and AND really is the only guy in America who can make red hair attractive…whew did I miss anything over the last year or so that my evil twin frmsypmrg may have posted to you??
Agree with the youtube comment that it could very well be spooky kids era.
This is what it sounds like to me:
“All the filth and all the disease”
“No man is going to be clean”
“You learn to sleep with it now wait and see”
“You live with apes man it’s hard to be clean”
They weren’t doing Beautiful People in the Spooky Kids era, but they were working on songs for Antichrist Superstar while touring for Smells Like Children. I remember hearing several Antichrist Superstar songs in very different forms at their shows at that time.
Can’t listen to the song now, so I can’t judge the lyrics.

^This is correct.
Thanks mooney I’ll check those lyrics out. *Pretty close, not sure about the third line but the first 2 lines sound pretty good.

Listened.
The chorus vocals are pretty unintelligible. They could be scratch vocals that he’s just mumbling his way through until he can think of something better.
Scott Putesky [Daisy Berkowitz] posts Spooky Kids/Manson demos on his facebook/soundcloud, so I’m guessing this is where the song came from. i cant clearly hear it either.

I know ‘Smells Like Children’ morphed into Kinderfeld [and that White Knuckels was played up til 94],
but I cant recall any other ACSS sample songs that were played during the Portrait or SLC tour. Anyone?
I don’t know specifics, but I distinctly remember them playing two songs that I hadn’t heard before. Smells Like Children/Kinderfeld, and something else. It was nearly 20 years ago, gimme a break!
They did play “Dirt” by the Stooges fairly often at that time.
They played around 2-3 ACS songs around early 96 or so, like Minute Of Decay. Those early 96 tours were really isolated sounding. I remember one around show around Florida at that time that sounded like death warmed over. I think they were doing any drug they could get their hands on. They sounded miserable.
I believe the other ACSS track was tourniquet.
I remember hearing some bootleg of it from some 95 show, but can’t locate it at the moment. Never knew that about Dirt JLW.
He must have forgotten to copy you when he emailed the lyrics to me . . . .
“All your poo and all your pee.
Put it on your face and then you’ll be free.
You’ll like the taste, I guarantee it.
Just grab it from the toilet any time you see it.”
That’s probably why he didn’t post 'em. He’d take flack for being a marilyn yes man all the while reminding everyone that he’s a shit kisser.
