Ever listened to The Man With the Laughing Hand?

I just noticed this, thought it was neat. Sort of like a premonition. The riff on that song is the same as the one on A History of Bad Men.

Neeeeeeeeeeat.

Indeed, and someone else pointed out recently that if you listen to Vile, you hear that very bass line again.

I've always thought of it as a revamp to the Night Goat bassline

It's got the same feel, definitely.

Yeah I just listened to Vile, I hear it. He's probably had that song written for over 20 years he just could never put it out in a straight forward kind of way. Vile to me actually sounds like he was tweaking the riff a little bit, even though it was written way back when. As far as he lyrics go on A History of Bad Men, I'm pretty sure Jared had lyric duties on that.

I love when bands revamp old riffs... deerhoof does that alot... they make a song.... then a while later they will come back to it in a completely different way. listen to panda panda panda... there is so many different versions of the song.. each very awesome.

Senor Wences: Loved as ventriloquist on TV

April 21, 1999

FREE PRESS NEWS SERVICES

NEW YORK -- Senor Wences, the master ventriloquist who delighted "Ed Sullivan Show" audiences with his puppet-head-in-a-box, Pedro, and his falsetto-voiced hand-puppet, Johnny, died Tuesday at 103.

The Spanish-born ventriloquist, whose real name was Wenceslao Moreno, died at home in New York City.  During the 1950s, Mr. Moreno bickered and bantered with his puppets while he drank, smoked and juggled.

He conversed with Pedro, a head in a box ("S'OK?" "S'AWRIGHT"). And he was defeated by Johnny, who boasted, "Deefeecult for you; easy for me."
Mr. Moreno created Johnny by scrunching up his fist, drawing a mouth where thumb and index finger met, and draping a blond wig over the top.

His character Pedro was a gravelly voiced head in a box, born of necessity when Mr. Moreno's ventriloquist's dummy was accidentally damaged (in a train wreck) and only the head was spared.  Mr. Moreno would talk to his puppets with his face right in theirs, as if daring the audience to watch his lips -- which, of course, never moved.

He would stuff a hankie in Johnny's mouth and have the puppet speak with a muffled voice while he himself smoked a cigarette. Then he would give Johnny a drag, and the puppet -- that is, Mr. Moreno's hand -- would somehow emit perfect smoke rings.
