Dangerous Pink Ladies
by Ann

Comment:
When Pink Lady first joined forces with Dangermouse, nobody could have predicted what a fruitful collaboration it would be. It was just the new direction they needed after their rather frightening TV variety show. They wanted to prove to the world that they were not Shonen Knife Lite.

They accomplished that with their first single, a cover of the Ramones' "Beat on the Brat (with a baseball bat)" and were unrelenting from then on. Their original tune and title song "Preen" shocked the lounge-lizard world with its explicit depictions of gruesome maquillage accidents. I think Rex Reed said it best when he exclaimed "Pink has a whole new meaning for me now!"

Zipper, by Da Playful Lunatics
by ursula

Comment:
Zipper was DPL's first foray into rock and roll from the world of Hip Hop. These Philly natives managed to get Bono to produce it by convincing him that they were hungry Africans. Not only did this help them get signed by a major label, but it meant free snacks during all the sessions!

The Discarded Prosthetic Legs
by Hipychik

Comment:
It was a bold move of DPL to make their first album into a greatest hits boxed set, "Toe Jams". A collection of live recordings performed in shoe stores all across middle America, the set sold well in Albuquerque but didn't seem to interest the rest of the population. It might have been the exorbitant cost of the seven disc set, which was maintained at the same price as one Air Jordan. In fact, the only surprise was that it did well in Albuquerque, even the lead singer admitted that they weren't so much a band as a bunch of Married With Children fans who liked to shout nasty new possible scenarios for the Bundy family into a tape recorder. Eventually, they had to pull the set from shelves after a lawsuit from Fox Entertainment... making it an instant collector's item. The band now makes a living by selling old copies on ebay.

Depth Perception Lyricists

Comment:
These guys never could make a good studio album. They were great in concert, where their gimmick was wearing eyepatches. Sure they bumped into each other now and then, but the energy was great. If only they had thought to wear the eyepatches in the studio. You see, they didn't realize this, but subconsciously those patches made them feel like pirates, and who doesn't want to hear a bunch of pirates rocking out? I can't tell you how many times I had to watch the disappointment of a DPL fan playing their first and only album, followed by their agonized complaint... "There's no ARRRRR!!"

Dreaded Pepper Lizards
by ssodell

Comment:
They were fine until they stopped covering Red Hot Chili Pepper songs and made an album of their own material. That's when they sounded like Judy Garland fronting for the Turtles. Fabulous, I know, but now what the Pepper crowd was ready for.

Yeah that guy on the cover sounds just like Judy Garland when he sings. Nobody noticed before because, well, the guy from the Peppers sounds kinda like Judy Garland. Think about it. But not too much.

Desperate Prisoner's Literature
by Jas

Comment:
DPL started as a front for Alan Lomax's latest prison songs collection, a desperate attempt by his label to improve sales, which even went so far as to create a work-release program for some of the songbird convicts and send them on tour. These convicts bonded on the road and decided to forget the traditional ballads and write their own material. Unfortunately, they were unable to find a label or even a producer to help them record the radical ideas in their lyrics, a hint of which you can get from the titles alone:

JFK RIP. KKK?

My Baby Stabbed Herself Ten Times

Look Closely at Larry King's Ties

Nobody Ever Suspects the Quakers

What Sean Connery Isn't Telling You About Jesus

No, Really

Dirty Panty Lickers
by Mr_Pants

Comment:
Dirty Panty Lickers, easily the best Jethro Tull cover band in the history of popular music, have just released an entire album of the song Aqualung, each track smelling like a different part of the song. The track titles say it all: "Snot Running Down His Nose", "Greasy Fingers", "Shabby Clothes", "Pretty Panties", etc. Interestingly, the album skips in a different way whenever you scratch it, creating different rhythms the next time you play it. Needless to say, it was a huge hit among club DJs, at least until Madonna's "Sweaty Bra" album came out.
