Is your Coke big enough? Is your Brain small enough?

For you to be a Rockstar...Once upon a time a punk band -The Dead Kennedys- were invited to play to play their hit California Über Alles at the 1980 Bay Area Music Awards (or Bammies). They ended up singing this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_My_Str… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdmFXNtOA… I'm tired of self respect I can't afford a car I wanna be a prefab superstar I wanna be a tool Don't need no soul Wanna make big money Playing rock and roll I'll make my music boring I'll play my music slow I ain't no artist, I'm a business man No ideas of my own I won't offend Or rock the boat Just sex and drugs And rock and roll Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool My Payola! Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool My Payola! You'll pay ten bucks to see me On a fifteen foot high stage Fatass bouncers kick the **** Out of kids who try to dance If my friends say I've lost my guts I'll laugh and say That's rock and roll But there's just one problem [Chorus] Is my cock big enough Is my brain small enough For you to make me a star Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul Pull my strings and I'll go far And when I'm rich And meet Bob Hope We'll shoot some golf And shoot some dope Is my cock big enough? Is my brain small enough? [Repeat chorus, etc. etc.] Hilarious! Don't you think? That performance easily earned a place on my favorite bands list. Any thoughts? BQ: Favorite Dead Kennedys song? BQ2: Can you think of any other bands that could have(or actually have) pulled a stunt like this? Coke obviously isn't coke but I had to change it coz Y!A wouldn't post the question. haha Haha. Great stuff Migh!

1. i remember reading about that after hearing that tune... excellent! BQ: don't know, it changes... maybe Halloween at the mo... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n2Bnh4T8YE&feature=PlayList&p=9C188803155B0A21&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=11 BQ2: The KLF did something vaguely similar at The BRIT awards a good few years back... this is from Wikipedia... On 12 February 1992, The KLF and crust punk group Extreme Noise Terror performed a live version of "3 a.m. Eternal" at the BRIT Awards, the British Phonographic Industry's annual awards show; a "violently antagonistic performance" in front of "a stunned music-business audience".[39] Drummond and Cauty had planned to throw buckets of sheep's blood over the audience, but were prevented from doing so due to opposition from BBC lawyers[40][41] and "hardcore vegans" Extreme Noise Terror.[29][42] The performance was instead garnished by a limping, kilted, cigar-chomping Drummond firing blanks from an automatic weapon over the heads of the crowd. As the band left the stage, The KLF's promoter and narrator Scott Piering announced over the PA system that "The KLF have now left the music business". Later in the evening the band dumped a dead sheep with the message "I died for ewe—bon appetit" tied around its waist at the entrance to one of the post-ceremony parties.[42] Reactions were mixed. Piers Morgan, writing in The Sun, under the headline "KLF's Sick Gun Stunt Fails To Hit The Target", called The KLF "pop's biggest wallies"[43] and producer Trevor Horn is reported to have called their antics "disgusting".[42] NME, on the other hand, said that The KLF "stormed" the show and that after their performance the BRITs show went "downhill all the way this was the performance... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CDButf0go8
2. God yes i love the DKs Fave song:Jock-O-Rama NoFX has pulled stunts like this tons of times.
3. Love them, Night Of The Living Rednecks' always makes me laugh too, my favorite song is 'Too Drunk To F*ck'.
4. I don't know about their "cokes", but they've got huge balls. This is old but all I've got at the moment. When The Doors were on Ed Sullivan in the 60's they were told to omit the lyric "couldn't get much higher", but Jim didn't comply and was banned from making future appearances. Mick Jaggar on the other hand, did (begrudingly) give in to the censors.
5. haha! drool, drool, drool, drool... BA: holiday in cambodia or too drunk to f*ck BA2: well...i remember faith no more winning some awards at a bammies i was at. mike patton's acceptance speach was something along the lines of "BEHOLD! the golden DILDOH!" and i seem to remember him yelling "COME ON PANTS PEOPLE!" a number of times during their live set...and nobody moved. nowhere near as epic as jello's little trick but...*shrug* now playing: for you - lars fredrickson and the b*stards
