An in depth review of Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie ( comments appreciated)
Someone asked me:

what's Psyclone Jack
Hallucinating Hack
Thinks Donna Reed
Eats dollar bills, about?

So I wanted to do a review of the song. Just in case you dont know the song I'll paste it here as well.

Who is this irrisistable creature
who has an insatiable lust for the dead?
Living Dead Girl!

Rage in the cage and piss upon the stage
There's one sure way o bring the giant down
Defunct the strings of cemetary things
With one flat foot on the Devils wing

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Raping the geek
And hustling the freak
Like a hunchback juice
On a sentimental noose
Operation filth
They love to love the wealth
Of an SS Whore
Making scary sounds

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Psyclone Jack Hallucinating Hack
Think Donna Reed eats dollar bills
Goldfoots machine creates another feind
So beautiful they make you, kill

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Blood on her skin
Dripping with sin
Do it again
Living Dead Girl


So here goes!

Physclone Jack - is a rich old man who goes to see strippers.

Hallucinating Hack - means that she is so doped up that she's hallucinating (she's so high she doesnt care anymore)

Thinks Donna Reed (code name for heroin), Eats Dollar Bills – This means that she’d rather have herself a bag of dope over cash. (buying the dope eats up her dollar bills).

To keep going on that verse:
Goldfoot machine
Creates another fiend
So Beautiful,
They make you kill

Goldfoot Machine - another name for a heroin user. Back in the 60's and 70's people would shoot dope into thier feet so it didn't leave track marks.

Creates another feind – Feind literally means that she’s craving this - She's becoming addicted to this drug

So Beautiful - Even though she's strung out and high all the time he (the singer) is still falling in love with her

They make you kill - This girl will do anything in order to get her dope.


To keep going on the song:
Rage in the cage
And piss upon the stage
There\'s only one sure way
To bring the giant down
Defunct the strings
Of cemetary things
With one flat foot
On the devil\'s wing


Rage in the cage
And piss upon the stage
– letting you know upfront in the beginning of the song that the “living dead girl is, instead of a zombie, she’s a stripper.

There\'s only one sure way
To bring the giant down
– There’s only one way that she can make her money and bring the men who watch her to pay her.

Defunct the strings – and that’s to slowly tease them as she takes off all her clothes

Of cematary things – letting you know that she visually appears to be dead
With one flat foot

On the devil\'s wing – This stripper has one steady foot grabbed by addiction and the other in slavery to fuel it.


Raping the geek
And hustling the freak
Like a hunchback juice
On a sentimental noose
Operation filth
They love to love the wealth
Of an SS Whore
Making scary sounds

Raping the geek – these men that are watching her strip are taking advantage of her. She’s called a geek because the singer wants us to know that she’s goth.

And hustling the freak – tells us that shes a stripper (but it already does in the beginning of the song when it says “rage on a stage and piss upon a stage”)

Like a hunchback juice
On a sentimental noose
– She’s killing herself with her occupation and recreation activities

Operation filth
They love to love the wealth
– These men are old, dirty, immoral and disgusting (but they’re rich)

Of an SS Whore
Making scary sounds
-This means that they love to love this stripper (whore) who’s trapped and forced to perform by her addiction (like the Jew’s were strapped by the SS)


Conclusion:
This song is about a man that is falling in love with a stripper that is addicted to heroin. She’s called a “living dead girl” because that is what happens to people who are addicted to heroin for too long. They turn white, become thin as bones and live in a state of delusion. A girl that is strung out on heroin literally looks like a zombie – hence the use of the zombie in the video. After being addicted to heroin for long enough you end up feeling like you are a part of the living dead. All the lines makes sense if you have been through addiction.
