Quick question: what, if anything, does the phrase "misery whip" mean to you ?

In a second-hand CD shop in Camden at the weekend I was delighted to find Vol 2 of Everclear's "Songs From An American movie" for £2. On it, there is a track called Misery Whip.

Which is odd, because I also have a song called The Misery Whip on "Asphyxia" by the Dream Disciples. And they're definitely not the same song. This would seem to be a strange example of convergent evolution, so I'm just wondering if the phrase exists independently, and if so, how well-known is it ?

Yes, I could just google the phrase, and I probably will. But I'm curious to hear people's thoughts, first.

No idea. Can I have a point for recognising your entry's title ? <grin>

I think you'd better have a point, since as far as I can tell that's the only band you ever recognise lyrics from !

That's slander that is !

I can do Whitesnake and Aerosmith too.

Umm... I'll take the point. Thanks.

OK, just for you I'll endeavour to (remember to) title all my posts with Aerosmith/Whitesnake lyrics this week :)
