The Heavy Unleash Sinister “Sixteen”

After one spin of The Heavy’s unmerciful “Sixteen,” one will be quick to recall the spooky stomp of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins “I Put A Spell On You” or imagine a fairy tale Sonics recording session at Stax. The lead single off of last year’s The House That Dirt Built tells the story of a sinful 16-year old schoolgirl and Satan. "What the devil wants/Believe the devil gonna get." The fact of the matter is that this quintet from Noid, England serves up a filthy love potion of neo-retro soul, covered in black soot and laced with back alley grooves. A noisy knockabout that swings like mad and makes you wonder how they charmed the hoodoo man with such a bewitching blend of psych-soul.



The Heavy are:
Vocals: Swaby
Guitar: Dan "T" Taylor
Bass: Spencer "Big Daddy Spence" Page
Drums: Chris Ellul

I saw her dancin' with the devil
And he was wearing my shoe
Black and white Jordan leathers
And she was looking for abuse
Now she looked just like heaven
But her mind reeked of hell
Now I know I shouldn't be telling
But I guess I guess if you know her well
She's the kind of girl
She can believe me when I say, she can

She's already ready there, and already there.

Now what the devil want
Believe the devil gonna get
He gonna stretch her out
Like a tape in a cassette
And when you see these kinda girls
They all look big as fun (???)
But the devil know the devil know
There is only one thing tonight she gonna suck
Cuz she wont no she cant
Believe me when I say
She cant
She's already there
She's already there

We got sixteen year olds acting like they forty year olds
Yo we need to do it and we need to re-clense the souls
I have an idea, lets take rich style high tronic system and we crush em out

Cuz she wont she cant
Believe me when I say
She's already there
She's already there.

Take Up Thy Rock 'N Roll Stethoscope and Walk,
