It’s Friday and it’s my birthday!!! Are you ready for the birthday song of the week?

Kill HannahIn honor of our new president-elect, I have chosen a group from his adopted town. Kill Hannah is an alternative rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1994. The group was named after the ex-girlfriend of the group’s founder, Mat Devine. Apparently Mat and Hannah had a rough break-up. The members of the group are Mat Devine (Vocals, Guitar), Jonathan Radtke (Guitars, Background Vocals), Dan Wiese (Guitars, Background Vocals), Greg Corner (Bass Guitar), Elias Mallin (Drums).

The group’s second album released in 2006, Until There’s Nothing Left of Us, debuted at #8 in the official Billboard Heatseeker’s chart. In spite of this, the group has not had much success yet. “Lips Like Morphine” has been the group’s most successful single, reaching #35 on the Billboard U.S. Modern Rock Chart

“They may have a sexually ambiguous nature, like me. They may sing in a high nasal voice, like me. But unlike me, they are the future of Chicago rock.” -Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins

Lips Like Morphine
I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out every time they touch me
I wanna feel that kiss just crush me
And break me down

Knock me out!
Knock me out!

Cuz I’ve waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight

I want a girl with lips like morphine
Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping
I want to feel that lightning strike me
And burn me down

Knock me out!
Knock me out!

Cuz I’ve waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
Just put me on my back
Knock me out again

Oh, I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out everytime they touch me
I want a girl with lips like morphine
To knock me out

See I’ve waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
Just put me on my back
Knock me out again.
