This coming Sunday is April 1, so to celebrate April Fool’s Day we have a special edition of Awesome Song!
Killer
Pussy was a punk / new wave group out of Phoenix, Arizona that was more
of a kitchy novelty act than a band. They managed to put out a 4-track
EP and then cobble together one album during their career, “Bikini
Wax”, which is riddled with smutty songs, teenage humor & cheesy
jokes. Exhibiting a trashy punk aesthetic that by 1983 was already
pretty well past its expiration date, Killer Pussy was briefly popular
and actually got airplay on new wave radio at the time (albeit usually
after midnight
when censors were already asleep!). Echoing other radical punky fringe
bands like X-Ray Spex and the Plasmatics, Killer Pussy made up for lack
of talent with outrageous lyrics & crazy antics. That said, they
could be lyrically clever at times, and were certainly entertaining!
Dr. Demento and Weird Al would be proud of them.
Their
most well-known song is this week’s April Fool Awesome Song: “Teenage
Enema Nurses in Bondage”. Enjoy …. and April Fools !

For the first time ever I am speechless on my own blog. Not sure where to even begin! Definitely sounds punkish mixed with a Weird Al vibe. "Stck the Nozzle in/There's really nothing to it" has to be one of the oddest lines ever included in a song's lyrics. As Was just proved, crazy stuff happens when April Fool's rolls around...even here!
ReplyDeleteNever let it be said that Marc's Top 200 isn't cutting edge crazy with its 35 year old tunes !
