“Angry young man” Andy Partridge sets his sights high with Dear God - XTC. The boys have never rocked harder than they do when they’re viciously attacking Amy Grant - The Young Fresh Fellows. Snotty punk problems abound in A Pop Song - Wreckless Eric. Paul’s response to one of many public criticisms from Lennon; Silly Love Songs (Live) - Wings. This tongue-in-cheek tribute was a contractural obligation filler and a hit in Japan; Rollers' Show - Nick Lowe (as Tartan Hordes). Only A Fool Would Say That was Steely Dan’s response to Lennon’s IMAGINE. No one lashes out more melodically than John Doe & Exene; I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts (Live) - X. Impossible to find record I taped because my roommate worked in the studio where it was recorded; Pope John Paul Can Suck My Dick - The Impotent Sea Snakes. Jonder shares this sentiment; Don Henley Must Die - Mojo Nixon. Turn off your TV is the message behind Idiot Box - The Damned. Jello Biafra demands MTV Get Off The Air - Dead Kennedys. After they wrote New York (on Vol. 1) about The New York Dolls, the reply to The Sex Pistols was London Boys - Johnny Thunders. When strict disciplinarian Johnny Ramone swiped Joey’s girl, he wrote The KKK Took My Baby Away - The Ramones. There are varying opinions of WHO is the titular Prince Of The Punks (Live) - The Kinks. While being respectful toward the author, Kris states he’s known for the worst song he ever wrote, which is served here more to Kristofferson’s taste: Okie From Muskogee. After inspiring the country period of Rolling Stones that included Wild Horses, Gram Parsons was discarded by the cockney gangsters with electric guitars according to Grams Song by John Phillips. Tom Petty’s contemptuous story about following Jackson Browne onstage during The No Nukes Show leads into My Problem Is You - Jackson Browne, in which Jackson sings: “I don’t worry about Madonna, or the next thing she might do,” which dovetails into Jammin' Me - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers which really pissed Eddie Murphy off. “Take back Eddie Murphy” didn’t sit well with the most talented man to ever portray Gumby. My Baby Moved by The Hillbilly Hellcats—singles out Big Head Todd while giving the monsters a pass. Van Halen proves Nerf Herder lands in Diamond Dave’s camp. Which leaves just enough room for a blistering LIVE version of Slow Death (Live) - Roy Loney & Chris Wilson—both Flamin’ Groovies who never played together in the band. - Stinky
This Volume contains the uber-offensive Pope John Paul Can Suck My Dick by The Impotent Sea Snakes which you probably haven't heard. They're an Atlanta-based punk band who leaned toward glam rock/Sigue Sigue Sputnik's punky synth rock on their later material. It's from an almost impossible to find test-pressing that I was able to tape because my roommate (at the time) worked in the studio where it was recorded. It might not have left the band's inner circle. It's raw and slightly distorted but that it doesn't hurt it much!
