    Western and Atlantic Railroad

    The Western & Atlantic Railroad of the State of Georgia (W&A) is a historic, government-owned railroad which operates in the southeastern United States from Atlanta, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee.

    It was founded on December 21, 1836. The city of Atlanta was founded as the terminus of the W&A. The line is still owned by the State of Georgia from Atlanta to CT Tower in Chattanooga; it is leased by CSX Transportation.

    This 5 ft (1,524 mm) gauge line is famous because of the Andrews Raid (commonly referred to as the Great Locomotive Chase), which took place on the W&A during the American Civil War on the morning of April 12, 1862.

    Establishment

    In 1836, the Georgia General Assembly voted to build the Western & Atlantic Railroad of the State of Georgia to provide a link between the port of Savannah and the Midwest. The initial route of that state-sponsored project was to run from Chattanooga to a spot east of the Chattahoochee River, in present-day Fulton County. The plan was to eventually link up with the Georgia Railroad from Augusta and the Macon and Western Railroad, which ran from Macon to Savannah. An engineer was chosen to recommend the location where the Western & Atlantic line would terminate. Once he surveyed various possible routes, he drove a stake into the ground near what is now Forsyth and Magnolia Streets. The zero milepost was later placed at that spot. In 1842, the zero milepost was moved to a spot immediately adjacent to the current day southern entrance to Underground Atlanta. The area developed into a settlement, known as "Terminus", literally meaning "end of the line". In 1843, the small settlement of Terminus was incorporated as the city of Marthasville. Two years later, by Act of the Georgia General Assembly the city was renamed "Atlanta".

    W.A.S.P. (album)

    W.A.S.P. is the debut album by American heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released August 17, 1984. The album has been known under three different names; the spine of the original vinyl release had Winged Assassins printed on it, while early cassette releases of the album had the name of the album's first track, "I Wanna Be Somebody", printed in bold letters on the cover. The album is officially entitled simply W.A.S.P., which it is typically referred to as.

    Overview

    Upon its original release, controversial track "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)" was deleted from the album. The Parents Music Resource Center had labeled the song as one of its "Filthy 15", songs that the group determined to be morally objectionable. Capitol Records subsequently bowed to pressure and pulled the song. The band released the song on an independent label in the UK as a single in 1984, and it was reinstated on the album's 1998 reissue.

    The song "I Wanna Be Somebody", released as the album's first single with accompanying music video, achieved such success that it was ranked No. 84 on VH1's list of the "Top 100 Hard Rock Songs" of all time.

    Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)

    by: W.A.S.P.

    I got pictures of naked ladies
    Lyin' on their beds
    I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
    Starts a swellin' inside my head
    I'm makin' artificial lovers for free
    I start to howl, I'm in heat
    I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy
    I fuck like a beast
    I come around, round I come, feel your love
    Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
    I come around, round I come, feel your love
    Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
    I'm on the prowl and I watch you closely
    I lie waiting for you
    I'm the wolf with the sheepskins clothing
    I lick my chops and you're tastin' good
    I do whatever I want to do ya
    I'll nail your ass to the sheets
    A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya
    I fuck like a beast
    I come around, round I come, feel your love
    Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
    I come around, round I come, feel your love
    Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
    Come ride, savage seduction
    Ride, ride, ride, ride
    I come around, round I come, feel your love
    Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
    I come around, round I come, feel your love
    Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
