I always liked 'Punk Rock Girl,' though the video looked like had been made in an hour for about 20 bucks.
I also wonder how old the dude was.

Biggest fame was among the college crowd in the 1980s.

"Big Lizard in my Backyard" is a fun album.
I bought in on a lark in college, mainly because my college nickname was "Dead" and my nickname in high school was "Milkman" so I was sort of obligated.
I haven't broken it out of the collection in at least ten years, but "Taking Retards to the Zoo" was one of my favorites.
I actually worked in a group home and took re... ummm... developmentally disabled adults all over the place, including the zoo.
Sorry the dude killed himself.

Good Grief!
Is that the band? Looks like a few Monty Python members snuck in there.
