Song Discussion: Charon

[Nick Nunziata]

He's the friggin' ferryman. Discuss the song.

I love this song. First, it's because the subject of Charon is neat. I always like reading about Dante and Virgil at the river in the Inferno book of the divine comedy. Canto III, I believe. Anyway, the song's main part is great, and especially like the backing vocals (Charon, Charon) and the solo(s). Then just when you think the song is over, it turns into this frenetic swing tune! What happened!??

"You'll be doin' the Charon boogie!"
