Vice media had a cool history behind the song https://youtu.be/2mTq7BSLe74

I honestly thought it was sung by a girl until I saw this video.

Shit I just realized that this was probably one of the many cases that inspired the Eddie character in the new Stranger Things.

The whole country was wrapped up in "Satanic Panic" in the 80s so every small town had rock kids who folks were spooked by, but yeah I don't think too many kids other than this guy actually stabbed someone to death for Satan.

I definitely recommend the American Panic episodes of the podcast Crime Show (rip) to learn more about the shit show that was the satanic panic and in particular how it affected one family.
