The Ultimate Band Name Call-Out Song??

[Frau_Blucher]

I just stumbled upon Mylo's "Destroy Rock & Roll" from last year's album of the same name. Have a listen. Is this the ultimate call-out song? The guy calling for hellfire is pretty freakin hilarious, especially the idiot's David "Boo-ie" mispronunciation plus "Culture Club, including Boy George"...well, of course, that goes without saying, LOL!

BTW, by the time he springs "Wham" on me, I'M CRYING!!!

[WolverineSyr]

May-donna?
Cyndi Looper?

Hilarious - Love it Blir!

I remember a show that would come on very late at night. I guess it was an infomercial for a self-produced video on the evils of popular music. It was on around '91 or so & the boy-minister listed most of those same artists - which was so funny because it was hopelessly out of date.

Good God, Blir where do you find this?! It's hilarious. I always thought Huey Lewis was the epitome of Rock and Rock Evil--now it's confirmed!

My favorite band call-out song has always been "American Beat" by the Fleshtones. I don't remember if they mispronounce anyone's name, though.

American Heavy Metal Weekend by The Circle Jerks, just for the line:

"....and dont forget the NUGE....dude!"

This same exact sound sample was used (to better effect, IMO) on the track "Michael Jackson" by the group Negativland way back in 1987. It appeared on the album "Escape From Noise" which also included a track called "Christianity Is Stupid." Negativland later hoaxed the media by putting out a fake press release claiming some kid murdered his family after listening to this song. Like "Michael Jackson," "Christianity" is made up mostly of samples of a preacher (although this time taken completely out of context.) Great stuff.

Jesus Christ...I mean...gee whiz, it always blows my mind the amazingly obscure tidbits that you all know. Thanks Chipz!

Actually, I think he was doing his own 2-minute version of NW Survivor... apparently it's down to Missing Persons and Duran Duran.


By the way Skinnytie, here's the American Beat call-out. Nothing as horribly mis-pronounced as Cyndi Looper...

"The fabulous Johnny C, Freddie 'Boom Boom' Cannon, the Incredible James Brown, Roy Brown, Chuck Berry, The 'Reverend' Richard Penniman, Elvis Presley and *all* the Kings of rock'n'roll. Lou Costello, ?, the Illusions,Eddie Cochrane, Buddy Holly, the Del Vikings, Del Fuegos, Del Shannon, MC5, the Velvets, the Stooges, Louis Jordan, Rosco Gordon, the Raiders and the Wailers, the Kingsmen and the Sonics, ? , the Last, the Unclaimed, the Plimsouls, the Lyres and the Real Kids, the Modern Lovers, Alan Vega, Los Lobos, ?, the Dodgers and the Headhunters too. Mitch Ryders, Ritchie Valens, the Osmonds, the Jackson Five, the Rivingtons, Donna Summer, Martha Reeves, Richard Berry, Berry Gordy, whooo... Chuck Berry and... louielouielouielouie.... come on louie... louielouielouielouie etc"

Thank you so much! I've heard this song at a few clubs in the past few years, but never knew who did it until now.
