Rob Zombie - Foxy, Foxy (2006)

**1/2 (of four)



The name of Rob Zombie's new album title, Educated Horses, is all up in the chorus to "Foxy, Foxy." Listen closely - Rob is singing about horses and relationships. That's right, in six short years, he's abandoned his old pal Satan and become domestic. No goth makeup, no pentagrams, just snips, snails and puppy dog tails. This is some soft-ass, generic shit, and my soft ass actually kind of likes it. Then again, I never took the whole White Zombie thing seriously in the first place. And neither did Rob.

The video opens with slo-mo shots of horses running wild and free through their barb wire-fenced territory. Just outside the corral or whatever, a jean-jacketed Zombie and his band play for an audience of no one. Oh, just wait, though. A blue Camaro with red and yellow flames pulls up, a girl with a "Foxy, Foxy" t-shirt gets out and summons cars and vans full of hotties to the show. Rob has cowgirls watching him and everything. This shit's probably playing on VH1 right now, and all of Rob's old fans will have no choice but to buy the new Avenged Sevenfold album. Tragic.
