It was sometime in 1986 I was at the ripe old age of 24 & I was trying to convince myself I was still young so I tuned into the local college radio station in our area (WBFO) every so often to prove to myself I could still be young. One day while driving in my Dodge Omni 024 I had WBFO on & I hear a soft jazzy bassline. The next thing I hear is a couple teenage dudes talking over the ongoing bassline about going down to the shore to buy some Def Leppard T-shirts. These "Dudes" now began talking about a car... in fact they were talking about a..."Bitchin' Camaro!!!!". The next 55 seconds was total chaos & it was awesome!!! Yes, this was...
THE DEAD MILKMEN!(a band that is fun & not to be taken serious)
The Dead Milkmen is an American satirical punk rock band formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their original lineup consisted of vocalist and keyboardist Rodney Linderman ("Rodney Anonymous"), guitarist and vocalist Joe Genaro ("Joe Jack Talcum"), bassist Dave Schulthise ("Dave Blood") and drummer Dean Sabatino ("Dean Clean").
The band distinguished themselves amid the local underground hardcore scene of the early 1980s through their jangly punk sound and sardonic humor delivered with thick Philadelphia accents. They attracted college radio attention with their 1985 debut album, Big Lizard in My Backyard, and the song "Bitchin' Camaro". Extensive touring and further releases helped the band quickly garner an underground following.
They enjoyed international success on the strength of "Punk Rock Girl", a single from their 1988 Beelzebubba album which entered into MTV rotation.[1] After an ill-fated stint with the major label Hollywood Records and four further albums, health problems and industry frustrations in the wake of their success led to the group's 1995 breakup. In total, they issued eight studio albums, one live record, and numerous peripheral releases before disbanding.
The group reunited in 2008, with Dan Stevens replacing the deceased Schulthise. In 2011, they released The King in Yellow, their first studio album in 16 years.
