Song playing on Radio (in tattoo studios) for Charlie Murder

    Perhaps someone has asked this before, but I've looked online and could not find the answer anywhere.
    I reviewed the Charlie Murder soundtrack and could not locate a particular song. This is the song that is played when you enter the tattoo studios. There is essentially a radio playing in the background. After they play the Charlie Murder,"When I Save the World" song, there is a break for a commercial, some listener interaction, and then the DJ says,"Now here's a song about a mall full of zombies...Let's do it!". I was wondering about the title/artist for the song that plays after that statement.
    I had my wife's Android App, Google Sound Search, try to identify it, but it came up blank.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time,
    bmlortz

    Thanks for the reply Cheney, however, I did listen to all of the songs on the soundtrack, and could not find the one that is played in the tattoo studios. I'll try and get a recording of it and post it here.

    OK, so I had posted on the Ska-Studios blog that I was looking for this song and got no response. Shelldragon (aka: Michelle Juette Silva) posted that persons seeking information about Charlie Murder may get a better response by addressing James Silva directly. I sent an email to Mr. Silva, and he posted this reply:

    I found the songs!

    > http://ska-studios.com/files/turkeymurder.mp3

    They were tracks I made in college. Not super proud of them, but here they are.


    OK, so now we have entered the "do you like this music" phase of this post...

    My only problem with the "Zombie Mall" song is its lack of lyrical clarity (the same problem I had with the Strokes "Hawaii" song). Anyway, I want to give Mr. Silva lots of money for this, as well as share his song.

    Thanks, bmlortz. Been playing the game since it was free last month due to Games for Gold. Been wanting to find Turkey Murder. Looked it up on YouTube and found a weird music video, probably made from college students, haha, kind of ironic.

    Great, I'm glad you got the song you wanted. I too ended up seeing that Turkey Murder video in hopes that it would link to Zombie Mall.

    I also sent an email to Mr. Silva asking for lyrics to Zombie Mall, and he responded! Overall, he definitely seems like a solid guy.

    Found that too! The way I had it written up was spaced with the rhythm of the song, some details might have changed too.


    wake (wake up!),
    here is new era dawning
    where the living get bitten by the mindless marauders
    there's a new destination in this nation of carnage
    it's creation of survival we're alive here at the zombie mall

    shoes
    electronics
    aisle two we got sporting goods
    used decent quality but use em with discretion
    see the rule is dissection
    by a crew of professionals
    we're true to the protocol
    we zombie mall heroes

    [Chorus]
    bring your troubles here among us
    throw your misery away
    smile like you just fell in love
    throw yourself into the fray
    it's the end of the world
    burn you wallet burn the dead
    happy end of the world
    it's the end

    chicks with liprings
    tattoos and machetes
    and the double barrel shotties
    keeping peril from the hotties
    i'm a gun
    i'm a saint
    I am not one to complain
    when the dead start walking
    and the talking go insane

    shambling with rigor mortis
    sprinting if your frame affords it
    grocery store is grossly overwhelmed with all the rotting hordes
    leg off crawling to the living world's beating heart
    a crowd is forming for me and my entourage of arms

    gimmie rounds
    gimmie shells
    gonna send em back to hell
    this is a beautiful apocalypse
    and I ain't going out like this
    i'm jacked on caffeine
    blades and bullets to the teeth
    guns and bombs, bats and saws
    gasoline and napalm

    no moral dilemma
    take a gun, blow a head off
    take a bite to the neck
    and you join the living dead
    take a shot to the body
    and ya get to keep on walking
    take a minute this is life
    but you gotta come and find it

    [Chorus]

    save the ammo
    save yourself
    forget about your mental health
    a monumental Armageddon
    headed for the food court
    out of luck
    and out of time
    forever running for our lives
    we gamble for survival in the zombie mall

    it's doom,
    gloom,
    terror looms
    errors deadly
    there's no room
    everywhere we go
    we meeting hordes of the former humans
    break on through,
    gotta run
    grab a crowbar
    load a gun
    head shots or we all done
    i love the zombie mall!

    [Chorus]


    As a final note, I encourage persons who like any of these songs to toss some money at the Ska-Studios pay site, there is even a comments section, where you can say why you are giving them money. http://music.ska-studios.com/album/charlie-murder

    [Edited: I updated the lyrics to what (I feel) more accurately represents the pacing of the song. I think there are a few more words replaced from the original text provided, but someone with better ears than I has to figure them out]
