1) Formed in 2006 , Zombie Girl comes from Edmonton, Canada, and is the creative project of Renee Cooper. Her music is often described as electronic body music, with elements of rock 'n' roll and classic horror movie themes and a touch of humour. The songs are pumping, groovy and magnificently lead by Renee Cooper's captivating voice. She is the voice, body and spirit behind Zombie Girl. Zombie Girl was signed to the Alfa Matrix label. The first official Zombie Girl show was on Halloween, at the New City venue in Edmonton. Only 30 minutes in length but bearing enough power and gore to stick to the minds of those who attended for years to come.
Her ex-husband Sebastian R. Komor of Icon of Coil co-founded the project and produced the music and most of the lyrics up until their split. The two disbanded and divorced in 2009 due to personal reasons.
In July 2011, Cooper announced via Facebook that she has chosen VoA VoXyd from Ad Inferna to co-write and produce her new forthcoming album, though due to scheduling conflicts, as of May 2013, Dave "Rave" Ogilvie has been announced as the new producer.
Some Zombie Girl songs can be found on different European and Mexican compilations. Creepy Crawler is featured on the industrial compilation Endzeit Bunkertracks, Act 2 (disc 3: Damage Session), We Are the Ones made the Advanced Electronics, Volume 4 (disc 1) tracklist and I Want It debut on Alfa Matrix's own Cyberl@b, Volume 5.0 (disc 2). These releases are also available in North America on the label Metropolis Records.
2) The bass player from the Band Messer Chups.

Zombie Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She uses life as her vocation
Standing on ledges clinging to the edges
The world's a hard place to land on
She has this one way conversation
Trying to avoid a confrontation
Memories of the kind she's rather leave behind
Life can be lonely can be very sad
Can be something you wish you never had
She never had any affection
So she relates well to rejection
No stories wait discovery
Dreams have passed recovery
The worlds a hard place to land on
She just sleeps all day
In her squalid little slum
And takes little white pills
To make her body feel numb
And it's dark and dirty
And there's nothing left to eat
And in her heart there's a feeling of defeat
Smells of bus and fornication
And a bottle of cheat scent
Should she stick around
If this is all that life meant
Life can be lonely can be very sad
Can be something you wish you never had
Open the door wally, open the door
The song "Elsie" by Zombie Girl tells the story of an unfortunate woman named Elsie who has faced a life of hardship and struggles to cope with it all. Elsie never had an education and has been forced to use life as her vocation. She stands on ledges, clinging to the edges, indicating that she may be on the brink of giving up entirely. The world has been a hard place for her to land on, and her way of dealing with it is through a one-way conversation, avoiding confrontation and trying to forget the memories she'd rather leave behind.
Elsie relates well to rejection, most likely because she never had any affection in her life. Dreams that she had in the past have passed, and she feels there is no hope for discovery. She sleeps all day in her squalid little slum and takes little white pills to numb her body while desperately trying to escape the dark and dirty atmosphere. The smell of bus and fornication fill the air along with the scent of a bottle of cheat. Elsie feels defeated and questions if there's anything worth sticking around for if this is all that life has to offer.
This song presents a very raw and honest portrayal of a life that society tends to overlook. It highlights the struggles of individuals who don't have access to the resources they need to create a decent life for themselves. The song reveals the dark side of life and the devastating effects it can have on someone's mental health.

In her squalid little slum
She lives in a dirty, unpleasant place
And takes little white pills
She takes medication to numb herself
To make her body feel numb
The pills prevent her from feeling physical pain
And it's dark and dirty
Her living conditions are gloomy and unclean
And there's nothing left to eat
She has no food left to eat
And in her heart there's a feeling of defeat
She feels defeated and helpless
Smells of bus and fornication
There are unpleasant smells present in her environment
And a bottle of cheat scent
An unknown scent is evident
Should she stick around
She wonders if she should stay in her current situation
If this is all that life meant
She questions the purpose of life if this is all she experiences
Open the door wally, open the door

For many it is ''I Touch Myself'' that comes to mind when associating a song with Divinyls and Chrissy Amphlett. For me it is the beautifully haunting ''Elsie'' that invades and permanently inhabits a tiny corner of the psyche. Zombie Girl's rendition in it's own way captures the wonderfully ethereal nature of this piece. jtk🍁Canada

No, you are right. The problem is it is still widely known as "Sex" (I'm a). Most likely due to them not knowing it's a remake. But regardless of its title, it's a freaken awesome song no?

This is a chilling song by the Divinyls. The name of it is Elsie. It would be impossible to do a bad cover of this song. It is that good.

This isn't "Sex" (I'm a) It's "Elsie" It's labeled wrongly on the CD because the early copies were misprinted. Zombie Girl told me only the early versions had this problem. Refer to my video "Re: Zombie Girl" if you don't believe me.
