Echo & The Bunnymen -- "Do It Clean"
The obvious question is: do what clean? Drugs might be an obvious answer, but too obvious maybe. Whatever it is, we know what he means.
It's hard to remember sometimes that the alternative bands of the 80s could actually rock. Most of them started out rocking, at least -- even The Cure, early on, could rock in their own special sort of way. But Echo & The Bunnymen's early material was especially good at proving that these guys could play some solid music without relying too much on electronic beats, synth, and studio tricks. There are some neo-psychedelic flourishes here with the grinding of the organ, but there's also a lot of frenetic, amped-up energy. Maybe it is about drugs, after all.
