Touch Me Pt 1 or 2?

[dcdub]

OK I went back 25 pages or so and didnt see any discussion about this. If it has been brought up, no need to be a dick/I apologize.

Which track do you guys like better- Touch Me I'm Going to Scream Pt 1 or Pt 2?

Seems to me like Pt 2 gets all the play. I hear it on sirius quite a bit and I believe they played it in the American Dad episode My Morning Straightjacket. Personally I prefer Pt1

[Shepardspy]

they are both so sexy

I love part 1 but I think it needs a live rework.  I'm usually not one to make suggestions about how MMJ do things but that song is so powerful on the record, it could be a real doozy live and it just doesn't seem to come off that way the few times they have played it.

2....by a lot

I just went and re-listened to both of these. I feel the same about them now as I did when I first got EU...

Pt. 1 - I think that it's superior lyrically, but as a whole it's never really done it for me. I'll leave it at that.

Pt. 2 - One of the band's best songs, imo. I'll admit that it's an easy one to like, the obvious one to like of the two, but I've never been shy about my love of Pop and Dance music. On record it's immediately danceable, sing-along-able and euphoric, even shows a bit of an exploratory side (all things I love about music). It can be an absolute monster live. I love it!

Love them both. Pt 2 wins for me just because of some memories ect. attached to it.

side note, anyone know when My Morning Straitjacket is going to air again? My PVR had to be re-formated and I lost that episode, which was the very first thing I taped with it. :'(

I uploaded an .avi file of the entire episode, which you can download here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4D5T73P



You can watch on the computer, stream it to your TV or BD player, or burn a DVD, though the quality will suffer, depending on the size and type of screen you use.  Still, I watch it over and over, particularly late night when fairly wasted.  I think I like it better each time I watch it.

Sweet. Thanks JohnYYac :)

[aMillionDreams]

I like part 1 better

[Jon T.]

This is a tough one for me.  If at a show, I'd rather hear pt.2, but pt.1 was the biggest hidden gem for me off EU.  I was kind of indifferent on it at first, but after several listens I really, really got into that song.

Thanks johnnY!  I was just wondering where I could download this today actually.   :)

(Also, my vote goes for Part 2.)

I'm a Part 1 guy. Probably one of my favorites on Evil Urges. Can't go wrong with either one.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

touch me part deux.

[Janet]

Two by a long shot.

[johnnYYac]

I'd have to say TM Pt. 2.  It probably got me on this Omnichord kick.
 
Though lyrically, Pt. 1 is more sexy (Touch me, I'm goin' to scream if you don't) vs. a more creepy Pt. 2 lyric (If you touch me, oh I just think I'd scream).  One begs for your touch, the other warns away from it.  Where have I felt such conflict before?  Hmmm....... :-?

touch me I'm going to scream pt. 1 is nice and it's a really melodic tune but part two is a rocket ship waiting to explode.  and then it explodes.

[xmascriminal]

I certainly like Part 2 a lot, but I've always enjoyed Part 1 more for some reason. The "I need a human right by my side untied" section is quite possibly my favorite moment on the album.

Agreed completely!!!

I never noticed this, but are St. Vincent and Nicole Atkins singing backup in that video!?

I remember a rumor that one of the chicks was zooey but I'm not sure exactly.  somebody around here knows.

I really like the chords and lyrics in Pt 1 but Pt2 makes me wanna dance and I love the slide guitar.
I am undecided.
