"How The Gods Kill" is one of my favorite metal songs.

also, "Last Caress" and "Attitude" have some of the funniest lyrics ever.

The lyrics are inspired by George Lucas' first film entitled THX 1138.
138 is the highest The Misfits had come on "the charts" at the time.
it's about sex (69 x 2 = 138)
it's a secret code that the songwriter, Glenn Danzig, used as a child.
it's the number of a union local that one of the members of the band was once a member of
138 was a number displayed by a wind-up robot toy.
It was a prank to make people think it meant something
It means nothing.

Actually I remember reading an interview with Danzig about how it meant nothing, and he wanted people to be like 'I should know what he means, but I don't'. But those all could fit in there too...

I think the misfits are the greatest band ever. Not my favorite band ever, but the greatest, simply because I've met VERY VERY VERY few people who dislike them, and those people usually aren't very cool... and they unite pretty much every type of music lover... punk, metal, noise kids, etc... everyone likes the misfits.

There was an interview with the Misfits w/o Danzig where the interviewer was asking about that song and the Misfits said "It's about this science fiction movie where every animal has a number and humans are 138."

Then, the same interviewer asked Danzig and told him what the Misfits said and he said "I don't know what they're talking about. I wrote that song. That song is about violence."

It's about time for a Misfits (original) reunion. I kinda liked the albums with Michael Graves though, too bad he sucked when it came to perform live.
