Somebody to Love Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Remix

Finally got it! I've been searching for it for a while... It's a remix of Somebody to love originally by Jefferson Airplane and part of the soundtrack of the awesome movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas based on the book oh Hunter S. Thomson. I totally reccomend it for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's a psychedelic ode to drugs put in a very clever and funny way. Its' one of my favourite movies I can watch it over and over and still laugh. The character of Raoul Duke is simply unbelievable and the lawyer dr Gonzo...well there are no words for him :). The quote on my profile description is actually from that movie:

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die..."

There is a trailer for that from youtube:


There is also another movie based on the same character the journalist Hunter S. Thomson and it's called Where the Buffalo roam. I prefer Johnny Depp though... And because I can go on and on here is the link to the remix song I wanted to post Somebody to love:

I'm giving the link because embedding is disabled by youtube I don't know why... The lyrics for the actual Somebody to love lyrics follow:



When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within' you dies
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of red
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love

Tears are running down and down and down your breast
And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love
I most enjoy the quote from the movie when Raoul Duke opens the trunk of the car and describes what's inside...

"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can."


Enjoy! And don't forget to drop a click if you like ;)
