Lump and Peaches were great. I don't particularly remember anything else of theirs.

A friend introduced me to this band a couple, I think maybe four, years ago. I borrowed the CKY (followed by some ridiculous number I can't remember) from the public library, and was just a bit terrified...
To spare you from a dreadfully long story, I don't care for them. Peaches is an okay song, however.

Peaches is the only on of theirs that I know :rolleyes:

Oh, you uncultured swine!
*shakes fists*
I kid, I kid. They actually have an impressive four album canon. I am a very big fan, I have all four. Truly excellent, I assure you.
P.S. Doodles.....CKY? Huh?

Got any recommendations? I knew they had done a few albums by now, but I haven't heard anything since 1995 or thereabouts.

I love the first CD. I especially like confusing people by saying
:music: but that's toooootally
feather pluckn insane :music:
In my best surfer stylee voice. Which, for the record, is pretty poor.
I also think that any song that includes the words "sassy chassis" together is quite insanely fabulous (that's Dune Buggy).
But likewise, I don't know anything newer.

JEN LOVES THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Jen™ also has two of their CDs, which has been put on her ipod.
I dunno what else to say. I really like their music. I'm tempted to listen to it right now.

Sorry about double posting, but I have a simple question.
I SAW on television where they said that they had broken up. Yet, last year, my friend told me they were on tour. Anyone know if they're over or not?
The cover of "Video Killed the Radio Star" was for my favorite Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer. And it's awesome.

They did break up, after their first two self-titled albums.
Then, they got back together and made an album w/ Sir Mixalot, yes, that's right, and it was quite good. And their most recent album is also most pleasing.

i remeber hearing about the sir mix connection too :)

Twas an excellent connection, skaboy.
Freaked Out and Small, was the album. One of the songs, titled Death Star....was eerily Giantish...I wonder about their inspiration sometimes.

well they are off the wall like tmbg so it makes sense :)

I think alot of their music is kinda like TMBGs, just because it's different.
I was reminded of this last night. If anyone has watched The Drew Carey Show, they were the ones who made the song "Cleveland Rocks"
