Arlene:The Handsome Family

Artist: The Handsome Family

Album: Odessa

Appears On (Mixes): I'm Strapped To This Fucking Twin Bed: The Best Of The Handsome Family

Song Notes: I know that this is probably my friend Ben's favorite Handsome Family song, as it's about a retarded man who lives in a cave, who ends up kidnapping a beautiful woman to make her his wife. It's another darkly hilarious one, if you couldn't tell from the synopsis, but also sort of a scary one when you think about it, at least from Arlene's point of view, as she doesn't really know what's going down. And either way, it's probably not the best way to make someone your special lady-friend. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
