Well it was for The Capeman. I think him using curse words brought character to the music, it supposing to be get on the streets of NY.

Oh, another Matthew :-) I really wondered first why _you_ asked such a question Matthew Evans LOL


Hm, thats the first time we have 2 persons with the same name in this forum - it took a long time, didn´t it?

A musical about NY gangs and gangsters without using these typical words wouldn´t really have much truth in it I guess.

But I have to admint, I don´t really like this song. They sing it the wrong way, the music doesn´t fit to it.
On ´The Vampires´ Paul sings the chorus really hard, and it fit´s well...."F... Puerto Rican dope dealing punk"

But on "You f.... up my life" they sing the chorus like a nice praising gospel group ..."ohhh you f..... up my liiiiife"

I haven´t heard this song myself, but on the subject of The Vampires song; I think Paul does the song much better than the cast themselves.

I thought it was brilliant, that is once I got over the intial shock of Paul saying the F word...lol

I don´t think it would be successful. The official album only sold 70 000 copies worldwide as far as I know, and I suppose the Cast album wouldn´t do any better - unfortuntately!

70.000 ? eh no, 700.000 would be a good number, 70.000 is really too low.
