The Misfits' track "Bullet" is a foundational piece of their original horror punk sound, released in 1978 during the Glenn Danzig era. It is an extremely short, fast, and aggressive burst of punk rock, characterized by its raw recording quality and high-octane performance. Musically, it embodies the band's early stripped-down style, preceding the later, heavier metal influences. The song is best known for its shocking and politically charged lyrical subject matter: the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Unlike their more typical B-movie horror references, "Bullet" directly addresses a real American tragedy, twisting the events into a grotesque and provocative commentary. The lyrics are notorious for their graphic imagery regarding the event and their sexually crude remarks directed at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, positioning the song as one of the band's most controversial statements on American history and culture.
