5.13.2013 - Voice on "Deadly Nightshade"?

Hi Scorpion,

I have a question about one of my favorite Megadeth songs: Deadly Nightshade. Just who is that person laughing and what exactly is she saying? I can only make out a few words. Would be nice to know the story behind the use of that voice.

Thanks so much!

Hey Bryan,

That happens to be one of my favorite songs of the album TH1RT3EN, and I'm sure a lot of people would like to know, so here ya go:

The voice is Electra Mustaine's, Dave Mustaine's daughter, and he says they were told she said, “I don’t know what’s come over me, all of a sudden I feel like I need to lie down.”

The Deadly Nightshade is a poisonous flowering plant that has a long history as a medicine, cosmetic, and poison. I know a little about that subject myself...
