Supervert Picks
While it is obviously unnecessary to rank sensual pleasures in any particular order, it would be hard to deny that sex is the greatest of them all. After that, however, what would you choose as the second greatest sensual pleasure? It can be lovely to taste a fresh strawberry or, on a hot day, to swim in cool water. Would you rank eating or exercise as the second greatest pleasure? Perhaps. Some people might point to the ecstasies of certain drugs. Old men, with their swollen prostates, might say that the greatest joy of the senses is just to pee. And posing itself the question recently, Supervert decided that, after sex, the greatest sensual pleasures it had ever experienced were no doubt offered by music. What sorts of music? Though it may be difficult to rank sensual pleasures, there are many different methods for ranking music. An obvious one is the "Top 25 Most Played" list in iTunes. It shows you what you listen to most. Simple enough — but what if you combine the proposition that music is the greatest pleasure after sex with the statistics showing exactly what music you play the most? Does this show you a musical hierarchy whose top approaches the very greatest sensual pleasure? Does your favorite song literally border on sex? If so, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the topmost song on Supervert's iTunes playlist is one enmeshed in perversion, sadism, rape, murder. It was created by a band whose name — Queen Adreena — was inspired in part by a famous dominatrix, Queen Adrena, a giantess who specializes in trampling, smothering, and crushing her submissives beneath her elephantine body. And the song, which is called Fuck Me Doll (or often "FM Doll"), is about JonBenet Ramsey, the childhood beauty queen whose unsolved murder still has the power to generate sensationalistic headlines in the tabloid press. Weirdly, there is a sort of cottage industry of JonBenet Ramsey songs. There are piano tributes and parody numbers. A metal band that lauds itself as the sickest band in Pittsburgh is named after the victim. Rapper Eminem confesses to the killing in his song "Shit on You": "I was responsible for killin' John Candy / I got JonBenet Ramsey in my '98 Camry / I don't give a fuck who you are / I'll shit on anybody." But Fuck Me Doll is different than these. Fuck Me Doll is neither sentimental nor sarcastic. Fuck Me Doll is what it might sound like if the angry spirit of JonBenet came back to earth and confronted every figure in the seedy psychodrama of her death. The lyrics to the song are more or less trivial, a mere toying with the words and concepts bandied about in the implications of incest and pedophilia. The music beneath the lyrics is primitive, tribal, a strip-bar anthem with guitar work that's equally precise and bombastic, like a rocket-propelled grenade. But what really makes and defines the song is an impassioned performance by vocalist Katie Jane Garside. When she shrieks — really shrieks — the words "Strip baby strip 'cos your daddy is watching / Strip baby strip JonBenet," you can't help but feel she's channeling a pissed-off JonBenet who's come back from the grave to exact retribution from everybody who denied her her childhood — not just her killer but also her parents, who dangled her before the public in beauty pageants, and also society, which can't quit feeding off her even now that she's dead. (If you think JonBenet's fifteen minutes of fame are over, you haven't visited the rabid chatrooms where amateur sleuths hash out their theories behind the murder. For example, get a load of the theory arguing that JonBenet — a six-year-old, mind you — was accidentally killed while she and her brother were experimenting with the techniques of autoerotic asphyxiation.) And if you combine the sensual, almost sexual pleasure of music with a song that is itself sordid and violent, it leaves you with a weird sort of conundrum. On one hand, you experience a sort of ecstasy. On the other hand, you're aware that this ecstasy somehow feeds off of a despicable sex crime. It's as though you were to get your kicks by reenacting JonBenet's murder in the privacy of your own home — get yourself a short, childlike girlfriend with blonde hair, then pretend to rape and garrote her in the basement. Many people practice S&M games of various sorts, and yet few would hesitate to call it sick if you were to stage such a reenactment of JonBenet's murder (or the killing of Sharon Tate or Chandra Levy or whomever). And yet, is it sick if you experience a similarly twisted pleasure — albeit an acoustic one — listening to Fuck Me Doll? (Note: Queen Adreena released Fuck Me Doll as a single in 2002. This text refers specifically to that version. The band has now released a re-recorded version on their new album The Butcher and the Butterfly. While it's still a great song, this new version of "Fuck Me Doll" lacks some of the shrieking vocal intensity of the single version.)
