Type O Negative: Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All (1993) - Song Review

Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils

When I was in High School one of the things that I used to like to do is to listen to a lot of different types of heavy metal music, rather it be the more rock 'n roll styled, 'Metallica' to the more darker, 'White Zombie'... I listened to a lot of different bands and enjoyed most of them!

With that said, there is one band that I hadn't heard in almost two decades that a friend of mine got me in to when I was still in School... And well, I never got to hear to much of their work... (Believe it or not, there was not to much of the bands music out there at the time...) But the little bit that I was able to hear... Well I got to say that I was really impressed!

That of course being, 'Type O' Negative'... And you know what? I got to listen recently to their song, 'Black No. 1' (Little Miss Scare-All) from their 1993 album, 'Bloody Kisses'!

Type O Negative doing: Black No. 1 live in 1995!

Now I am going to say this, I have always been a fan of Gothic metal, ever since I was barely in my teens, and this song is no different, the dark over tones in this song are truly amazing! Now I will be honest with you guys, the one and only problem with this song that I do have is with the fact that at one point the chorus to this song takes over and goes to the end of it with out stopping... The problem is that where as this song has a great chorus, after hearing it for about a minute or so, I can say with honesty that it does get a little old!

For the true fan... The lyrics to Type O Negative's 'Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All):

I went looking for trouble
And boy
I found her...She's in love with herself.
She likes the dark
On her milk white neck.
The Devil's mark.It's all Hallows Eve.
The moon is full.
Will she trick or treat?
I bet she will.She will.Happy Halloween.She's got a date at midnight
With Nosferatu.
Oh baby, Lilly Munster.
Ain't got nothing on you.

Well when I called her evil
She just laughed.
And cast that spell on me.
Boo Bitch Craft.

Yeah you wanna go out
'cause it's raining and blowing.
You can't go out
'cause your roots are showing.

Dye 'em black.
Dye 'em black.

Black black black black No. 1
Black black black black No. 1.

Little wolf skin boots
And clove cigarettes.
An erotic funeral
For witch she's dressed.

Her perfume smells like
Burning leaves.
Everyday is Halloween.

Yeah you wanna go out
'cause it's raining and blowing.
You can't go out
'cause your roots are showing.

Dye 'em black.
Dye 'em black.

Black black black black No. 1
She dyes'em black
Black black black black No. 1
Black No. 1.

Loving you
Loving you,
Love loving you
Was like loving the dead.

Loving you
Loving you,
Love loving you
Was like loving the dead.

Loving you
Was like loving the dead,
Loving you
Was like loving the dead.

Loving you
Was like loving the dead,
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead.

Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead.

Loving you
Loving you,
Love loving you
Was like loving the dead.

Was like fucking the dead.

Loving you
Was like loving the dead,
Loving you
Was like loving the dead.

Loving
Was

Loving you
Loving you
Loving you,
Loving you
Loving you
Loving you
Was like loving the dead.

Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead.
