November 11 1985
Malcolm McLaren
Swamp Thing
Genre: Obnoxious
1.25 out of 10
The great contract obligation album. Made up of entrails, detritus and leftovers from previous works.
And it sounds like it. For as inspirationally brilliant Duck Rock was, this is a big goose egg.
While it’s totally credited to him and Stephen Hague, “B.I. Bikini” is lifted from “Swinging in the Alphabet” by The Three Stooges. And Malcom’s version is terrible. And why is Bow Wow Wow’s “Eiffel Tower” here? I mean, I get it, given the relationship but…why is it here?
This is sad for me since Duck Rock is the album that gave birth to The Listening Post Facebook Group project.
