I think the thing about the Dead Kennedys is (1) they were famous only for their name. I remember everyone talking about them in my HS, but I don’t remember ever hearing them played. and (2) they were deliberately trying to be obnoxious. Most punk bands chose deliberately obnoxious names.

Siam’s gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than a muddy ol river
Or reclining Buddha.
Thank God I’m only watching the game,
controlling it.
I don’t see you guys rating
the kind of mate I’m contemplating
I’d let you watch, I would invite ya
But the queens we use would not excite ya.
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble, not much between despair and ecstasy
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister and if you’re lucky then the god’s a she.
I can feel the devil walking next to me.

OTOH, I always hated “Do They Know It’s Christmas” because of its lazy ignorance. Sure, it conflated all of Africa with Ethiopia, but it even got Ethopia so dreadfully wrong. “No rivers flow” through the land of the longest river in the world, the Nile. And of course, it’s a largely Christian country merely destroyed by Communism. Largely Orthodox, that is. So the answer to “Do the know it’s Christmas” is “Nah, mate, the’re waiting another 12 days.”
... but people forget how persistently partisan the old-time comics were. For every joke Johnny Carson made about Democrats, he made 100 about Republicans; they were just milder and sillier in a time when political complaints were milder and sillier.
Actually, she’s not that good, which is why Indiana is still 5-10. I mean, she’s way ever than I could ever do as I judge on my fat ass in a couch. But she’s not the league’s Jordan. The probably MVP would be Aja Wilson, who makes twice the points and twice the rebounds that Caitlin makes.
