Now I desperately want to hear this. No, wait - I desperately want to see the video.

I’m with you.

LyricServer Entry:  
Band: Dead Kennedys 2.0  
Song Title: To Pluck a Duck

- 

Went to a party  
I danced all night  
I drank 16 Cokes  
And I started feeling right

My hair is braided  
I hear a cluck  
I’m rolling down the stairs  
To pluck a duck

To pluck a duck  
To pluck a duck  
To pluck, a duck  
I’ll pluck, I’ll pluck, I’ll pluck  
That duck

I like your stories  
Love bubblegum  
Watching Mrs Doubtfire  
Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room  
Bright lights overhead  
I’ll do my homework  
With erasers and lead\*

What’s really sad is that I think the remaining Kennedys (who are touring without Jello Biafra) might go along with that.

See, that’s the thing. These kids _aren’t_ crappy. Sure, they’re doing something you don’t like but at least they’re _good_ at it! 🙂

The name bothers me. _2.0_ implies that this is an upgrade from the original Devo.

All in all, it isn’t too far away from Abba Teens, though they had to comprise their name into A-Teens.

That’s the laugh of the day right there, Mister.

And Mister **Seven** delivers. Ah, catharsis.

Too cool. 🆒 One of my co-workers has a little boy who’s 8 now. When he was 3, the first song he learned the lyrics to were “Get Up, Stand Up.” Marley is still his favorite musician.

Of course, that conjures the specter of Marley 2.0. What do you suppose Disney would do to _Redemption Song_?
