Ca. 1990, my brother was a college deejay, and this was one song he could only play after midnight. It’s “6669” by the thrash band Coven (not the same Coven that did “One Tin Soldier”, another dumb song too, in the early 1970s).

Wot’s this?  
No one’s mentioned the greatest “dumb song” of all?

[The Streak](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxUfg3uCBbg), of course.

That had never occurred to me, but I can see what you mean. I have no idea if the similarities are intentional; Killer Pussy’s whole schtick is strange and dirty songs so no telling if they were paying homage or just came up with that gem on their own.

**Sahirrnee** , just what, pray tell, is so stupid about _Hot Blooded_, hmmmmmm?:dubious:  
(just kidding. I mean, I actually dig it but it cannot be denied that the lyrics are kind of . . . leacherous).
