Silly or Not ??
“We care a lot about The Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie. We care a lot about Transformers cause there’s more than meets the eye.”
Well it certainly has its tongue firmly wedged in its jowl. As trashy as The Beastie Boys and released on Slash’s label in 1987, it was produced with Matt Wallace (who went on to work with Queen) and Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) The mix is a good alternative listen if you normally just know the normal version.
The B-side has that loose bass and drum stomp and then goes all grandiose. “Anne’s Song” became an eventual single in its own right. The late Chuck Mosley (who was on vocals at this time) does a great job, but what a weird ending!

Glad I already have this 12”, thought it was an Anthrax / RHP song or similar..!
RHCP (Correction).
Silly? No way…… Its a great tune. Remember this getting a decent number of daily plays on MTV back in the day…. Honestly how is this any more silly than Green Day or the RHCPs?
Sorry Vim…it’s not really a piss take but an appreciation of the bizarre late 80’s rock genre….I completely understand and think “Wayne’s World” was a documentary about American life
