6. You're not a Barnes Head?

Oh well. Their "stuff" is very simplistic and I think most of it was directed towards their fans like myself. I haven't listened to that "stuff" in years and Fish Heads is not my favorite song of theirs. It was the 80's and weird ruled, at least to me. The subjects of their songs was pretty tasteless "Boogie Woogie Amputee" being an example.

I also was a fan of Dr. Demento and would listen to his show on Sunday nights laying in bed with an AM radio placed under my pillow. I think locally it was on very late and of course I had to go to school the next day.
