Black No. 1
Type O Negative Lyrics
She's in love with herself
She likes the dark
On her milk white neck
The Devil's mark
It's all Hallows Eve
The moon is full
Will she trick or treat
I bet she will
She's got date at midnight
Oh baby, Lilly Munster
Ain't got nothing on you
Well when I called her evil
She just laughed
And cast that spell on me
Boo Bitch Craft
Yeah you want to go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing
Dye em black
Black no. 1
Little wolf skin boots
And clove cigarettes
An erotic funeral
For witch she's dressed
Her perfume smells like
Burning leaves
Everyday is Halloween
Loving you was like loving the dead

Type O Negative was a gothic / doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York, US in 1990. They are well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music. "The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes.

They are well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music. "The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes. They were also known for doom metal riffs, deep bass lines, heavy but usually slow drums and bass-range vocals of gothic metal. Lead singer Peter Steele described their music as "bad songs written on a Tuesday night."
The two main influences on the band are the Beatles and Black Sabbath, and keyboardist Josh Silver has expressed a love of Pink Floyd--evidence of which can be heard in the atmospherics of his production techniques.
The band arose from the ashes of the band Carnivore and gained popularity with their songs "Black No. 1" and "Christian Woman" from the Bloody Kisses album. The album was the first in Roadrunner Records' catalog to go both gold and platinum. They have successfully toured with Pantera, Life of Agony, and dozens of other established and up-and-coming bands, as well as taking part in Ozzfest. The band had VHS and DVD documentary releases in addition to their CD releases and contributions to movie soundtracks and compilations.
Steele died of sepsis caused by diverticulitis (initially reported as heart failure) on April 14 2010 at the age of 48.

@Hiraeth awesome! Thanks for sharing. They're such a great band, and they're so funny! You should definitely dive into YT and find some old videos. The Jerry Springer episode is a riot! Peter was also on Ricki Lake. They're just as funny as they are goth 😂
What are your most played songs so far? Btw, if you haven't heard the full version of September Sun (from Dead Again and not the official video) you should definitely look it up.
There are a few Facebook groups that are all about TON. If you're interested the Type O Negative Global group is pretty solid. There is also an official page Peter's family is in charge of, they share things often. Let me know if you're interested 🤘💚🖤🧡
I might as well share that there is a band that is heavily inspired by TON. They've got some solid songs of their own and their cover Wicked Games is crazy good..they've covered some TON as well. They get a lot of hate, but I like them. They're called October Noir.
Apologies for the essay, I am just ecstatic to find a new listener to share things with ✨

She's in love with herself
She likes the dark
And on her milk white neck
The Devil's mark
Now it's all Hallows Eve
The moon is full
Will she trick or treat?
I bet she will
She's got a date at midnight
With Nosferatu
Oh baby, Lilly Munster
Ain't got nothing on you
Well when I called her evil
She just laughed
Well cast that spell on me

Por incrível que pareça, a voz do Peter e do Renato Russo são muito parecidas em alguns momentos. Pode reparar. Longa vida ao doom e goth metal.
