Ball Tongue is a song by the Nu Metal band Korn. The track is listed as track #2 off their debut self-titled album, Korn. This song is about a man who had to work with the band on a T-Shirt design. He either had a pierced tongue or a wart on his tongue (Hence-"Ball Tongue") and he gave the band a really hard time. This song is the first of Korn's works that includes a unique way of singing, scat vocals. Ball tongue, however, is different than later Korn songs with scat vocals since Davis does not simply spit out complete gibberish (notably in Twist, Freak on a Leash, and Seed) and instead takes actual words and does not pronounce them fully. Nonetheless, scatting at the time was a rarity in rock music and was (and still is) considered a unique element to Korn.
(Ball Tongue!
-You got the dykes off, I think they'll mind me
Ball Tongue!
-The rag I'm on, we are justified
Ball Tongue!
-Congrats you just fucked up my make-up and shit
Ball Tongue!
-What have you done for me?!)
Korn is not given full credit for the work of this song, as the main riff in the song is directly lifted from a different song, "Angel of Disease", by the Florida-based death metal band Morbid Angel.
