Description
Dead Milkmen – Smokin Banana Peels – Cassette
Smokin Banana Peels is a song by the punk rock band Dead Milkmen. It was released as a single from their 1990 album Beelzebubba. The Dead Milkmen were known for their humorous and irreverent style, often incorporating satirical and offbeat lyrics into their music.
This EP contains four new remixes of the title track, which originally appeared on Beelzebubba, but if you can wade through those, the second side is prime snotty, juvenile Milkmen. “The Puking Song” is probably the grossest song they ever recorded, so if you like their sense of humor, this one is worth it for that track alone.
Smokin Banana Peels is a catchy and energetic punk rock song that showcases the Dead Milkmen’s signature blend of humor and social commentary. The lyrics of the song touch on topics such as suburban life, conformity, and the dangers of substance abuse. The song’s title itself is a play on the phrase “smoking banana peels,” which was a popular urban myth associated with hallucinogenic effects.
The Dead Milkmen gained a dedicated cult following for their quirky and unconventional approach to punk rock, and Smokin Banana Peels is a prime example of their unique style. The song combines catchy melodies, driving guitars, and the band’s distinct vocals to create a memorable and often humorous musical experience.
If you enjoy punk rock with a sense of humor and a touch of satire, Smokin Banana Peels by the Dead Milkmen is worth giving a listen.
