Cool 51

In this dark, film-noir–inspired track, The Psychotic Furs and Johnny Punish imagine an alternate story behind the tragic death of beloved 1960s–70s actress Carol Wayne. Official records list her 1985 passing in Manzanillo, Mexico, as an accidental drowning, yet questions have lingered for decades.  Through haunting lyrics and cinematic sound, “Bootsie Nightengale” explores the possibility of hidden truths, Hollywood’s shadowy underbelly, and the mysteries that surround fame and tragedy.

The title character, Bootsie Nightengale, recalls the playful persona Carol Wayne portrayed on classic television—including her guest appearances on I Dream of Jeannie—while the music underscores the tension between glamour and danger.

This piece is also meant as a celebration of Carol Wayne’s career and unique talent.

Bootsie Nightengale
Such a lovely girl

Danced on the Johnny late-night talk show
A Carol Wayne smile on the go go go
But a midnight swim ended fun and fame
A Manzanillo tide in a film-noir game

ohhhhhh

We know the killer
Another Hollywood thriller
Presenting...

Bootsie Nightengale (Nightengale)
Bootsie Nightengale (Nightengale)
The killer got away
It's just another day....

As another girl jumps off the balcony
A psycho-killer kills another formality oh ohhhh
So it's knock knock guess who's at the door
Nobody--- just a splatter on the floor ohhh ohhhh

We know the killer
Enjoy another Hollywood thriller
Starring....

Bootsie Nightengale (Nightengale)
Bootsie Nightengale (Nightengale)
The killer got away
It's just another day

So spin the reel rewind the tape
Who profits when angels break
Names change faces fade
Nothing ever changes
In our crazy world...

Bootsie Nightengale

Bootsie Nightengale (Nightengale)

What do the stray cats do with all of their spouse's corpses?

Stray Cats

Made with Niquo

Friday night I watch her clean her room
I love and hate her at the same time 

I wanna get her out the mess she’s in 
But she don't ever come to mine

Friday night she  stays at home 
She wanna tell me how she’s getting on so fine

She’s just so lazy, and I don’t get why
She's looking to get me high

I don’t think I’ll be seeing her again
But still love her with all of my heart

Maybe one day she'll listen what I’ve been saying
But I don’t wanna make it long 

I gotta to close all the roads to her
So really I could be moving on

I’m sorry how I did but 
I don't think that me and you work anymore
