release.

Urgh! I declare a music war upon you!

I will penetrate your Wall of Voodoo,
then I will send in my Gang of Four,
and calling The Police won't help you!
Before I'm done, you'll have Cramps,
and you'll be experiencing anything
but XTC. Don't expect mercy from my
Blackhearts! You won't evade us with
any Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark
this time you Alleycat!
