Slick Idiot's music is more than club-worthy, with pulsating beats and swift synthetic sounds, but it also contains a solid industrial metal foundation with thrashing innovation by Günter's unique guitar stylings and En Esch's funky beats and gruff vocals. Add to it, soul, provided by vocalist Erica Dilanjian and the additional programming and live drumming of Gregg Ziemba, and Slick Idiot provides many points of sonic titillation.
Since its inception Slick Idiot has released 3 studio albums ("DickNity", "Screwtinized" and "Sucksess") along with 2 remix albums ("ReDickulous" and "xScrewciating"). The band followed each release with a major U.S. tour and recently completed the "In The Flesh Tour" to promote the new release of "Sucksess", which saw the band play 44 cities from coast to coast.
NY Boogie
Slick Idiot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there's no way to explain,
it's a wonderful night in a unique place.
It's a brisk blend of people, it's the sharing of pain
and an overtime goal in a ranger's game.
Boogie down new york it's the end of a day,
a new dawn is waiting in a desperate state.
You're still for me number one,
I'll be sad when I'm gone,
can't you see i won't be the same without you.
I was mesmerized and fascinated,
hypnotized and elevated,
your energy I'll take away with me.
Staying alive and searching for fame
or escape to the park slip-sliding away,
do you feel the sensation ? Come on get it right,
hard times will demand an open mind.
Boogie down new york it's the end of a day,
a new dawn is waiting in a desperate state.
You're still for me number one,
I'll be sad when I'm gone,
can't you see i won't be the same without you.
I was mesmerized and fascinated,
hypnotized and elevated,
your energy I'll take away with me.
Life without foreplay, fast and insane,
yeah, hide from the fury, try to hold on in vain.
You're still for me number one,
I'll be sad when I'm gone,
can't you see i won't be the same without you.
I was mesmerized and fascinated,
hypnotized and elevated,
your energy I'll take away with me.

I respect the band greatly, but I'll continue to upload Slick Idiot tracks here and there. I'm about to upload one, in the next half-hour. Hope you enjoy the selection, as the original is for some reason no longer available on here (I'll be uploading a remix). You can get Slick Idiot CD's for cheap on eBay.

I just started listing to slick idiot. I'm not real crazy about them but I really like this song a lot. It really sounds like something from Symbols or Adios
