The Dead Milkmen Artist Snapshot:

No one did snotty sarcasm like the Dead Milkmen, a four-piece formed in Philadelphia in the early 1980s. Though their music was authentically punky--four chords and the truth--they took the cartoonish quality of their punk influences and went full throttle with its comedic aspects, tunefully conveying sharply satirical lyrics that made fun of their own audience as much as they skewered mainstream society. After several self-released cassettes, the band put out their first album for a label in 1985, and steadily saw their following grow. They had some minor hits with "Instant Club Hit," "Bitchin' Camaro," and "Punk Rock Girl," and each successive album revealed more musical ability, but the band called it quits after 1995. Sadly, bassist Dave Schulthise committed suicide in 2004.

Title Note

Crude, lewd, and defiantly immature, The Dead Milkmen were the punk equivalents of the characters in the movie ANIMAL HOUSE. If the members of The Dead Milkmen had been born 20 years earlier, they too might have been the kind of guys who sang dirty lyrics to Ray Charles "What I'd Say" at frat parties. Instead, they found amusement by pretending to be a punk band and by writing funny, tasteless songs that poke fun at just about everything.

BIG LIZARD IN MY BACKYARD features the Milkmen college radio hit "Bitchin' Camaro" and the hysterically offensive "Takin' Retards to the Zoo." It's probably their most consistently entertaining package. LIZARD has been described, with some justification, as The Dead Milkmen album for people who hate The Dead Milkmen.
