Genres: Alternative,Jambands
Deliciously sleazy verses highlight this 1995 Morphine track. Too bad about the rest of the song, though.

  The bass rumbles softly, like lone footsteps on a dark street; the sax honks like the Peter Gunn theme on 'ludes; and the late Mark Sandman whispers sleazy come-ons through a cab dispatcher's microphone. Sounds like a recipe for another great shot of Morphine, right? Unfortunately, that's just what's going on in the verses; once "Super Sex" (a cut from 1995's Yes CD) gets to the chorus, it suddenly transforms into a "fonky" jam with really trite lyrics about the pervasiveness of sex in our culture. (Like, duh.) And when Sandman starts barking lyrics like "Don't you know the President is super super super sexy?", the irony begins to stink like a week-old tuna hoagie. The song has some compelling aspects, to be sure, but newcomers to Morphine's work will probably wonder what the fuss was all about.
