Biography
The idea of The Parts and Auschwitz War Wunderbar tape was to make pop music with the united forces of the great songwriter Erik Vloeberghs (aka Angst of Kwajongens In Bloei and The Firing-Squad), the unique frontman and stage animal Danny Devos (aka DDV of Club Moral and Bum Collar), and the fingerspitzen keyboard virtuosa Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (aka AMVK of Club Moral and Bum Collar).
Vloeberghs supplied the lyrics and some of the equipment like a drum machine and a tape-delay to add to Club Moral's synthorium of a Wasp, a Korg MS-50 and the unequivocal FBT. All the songs were recorded in single takes on a six channel Traynor mixer/amplifier and a plain cassette-deck. No remixing or additional mastering was done.The lyrics are based on long and intense correspondence between Erik Vloeberghs and Club Moral, and they also form the basis of his later literary work. This tape was released as GBC 015 on Gezonde Boerse Copulaties (Healthy Boorish Copulations) and on Club Moral as CM39.
The Parts never played live, and apart from one track on "De Heistse Zotten" (GBC 12) nothing has ever been released anywhere else. The only track that eventually did make it as a "hit" was "Nazis Of The Night", which also appeared on Club Moral's Lp "To All Who Are Interested" (Cthulhu Records 1989). It is still a classic throughout Germany and France, and when Club Moral played in Berlin at the Ironfest festival in 2003, people came begging at 5.00 in the morning to play that song. The track has also been covered by the German band Bastards Of Love on their super rare vinyl "Privatvergnügen".

Cageman lyrics:
I'm hiding in my foxhole
Like all my ancestors did
Loud is the flower of education
Anxious for what might happen
And what I might forget
The police said foreigners call me a stinking rat
Because I'm not quite fat
Work and pray you cageman
God's got a cageplan for you
I'm hiding in my foxhole
Watching TV, playing sex games
Loud is the flower of convincion
Hiding out for strangers I just can't understand them
Why do they have to talk so much
Why do they have to talk so much
They didn't like me so they captured me
They didn't like me so they captured me
And now I'm watching channel 3
All my life All my life
I surrendered with open arms
Then they killed my wife
And I still don't know why
But I say they got to do their job, no?
Yeah they got to do their job
Work and pray you cageman
God's got hundred calls you were at
A stinking rat
But he's got a cageplan for you
Cageman
