What's the song that plays at the end of the movie "Interview With A Vampire"? :confused:
I know the lyrics go something like this "Pleased to meet you, Now can you guess my name?" (I think so it was satan). It's a good tune, although the lyrics are none to ideal for a real church-goer. |
Sympathy for the devil??

Here are the lyrics (from the Rolling Stones' 1968 album Beggars Banquet):
Please allow me to introduce myself Im a man of wealth and taste Ive been around for a long, long year Stole many a mans soul and faith And I was round when jesus christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around st. petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a generals rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made I shouted out, Who killed the kennedys? When after all It was you and me Let me please introduce myself Im a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But whats confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me lucifer cause Im in need of some restraint So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah! Tell me baby, whats my name Tell me honey, can ya guess my name Tell me baby, whats my name I tell you one time, youre to blame Ooo, who Ooo, who Ooo, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Oh, yeah Whats me name Tell me, baby, whats my name Tell me, sweetie, whats my name Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Oh, yeah |
I used to like that song a lot but over 25 years later,when it comes on the radio,I change the station. :rolleyes:
That song was also used in the opening of an episode ofthe short lived ABC series,"Street Hawk". (Ah....anyone recall that??! :eek: ) LOL! Personally,I'm just kinda tired of the Stones,they were here in concert this month but,I had another show to attend. ;) |
Yep. That's the one. Thanks for the info everyone.
I like the remade version they play at the end of Interview With A Vampire much better than the original which always comes on at the gym. The main reason I like that version better is they don't do that "Ooh who" thing as much. :rolleyes: |

I still like the Stones but like mostly the rare underplayed stuff. |
guns n roses did it back in the 90s... maybe that was the re-made version
|
Affair...I agree about the underplayed stuff. So many of the "hits" are played to death on the radio.
There are some real gems to discover and enjoy with the Stones too. |

They're not "glorifying" evil Touhy,it's about all the evil that humanity does to eachother out of their own weaknesses and misguided ambition,hatered & prejudices. Not to mention just their flat out ignorance.
The devil is the one usually blamed for the evil that humans do and in the song that's what he/it represents. All things mentioned in the song could have all been avoided if those responsible used the "free will" God gave them all & also just plain common sense. :rolleyes: I have to say though,not long after the Stones did this song,the stabbing at their 1969 Altmont concert took place. :eek: This can be witnessed in the documentary,"Gimmie Shelter". |
