>> Dead Milkmen

The Dead Milkmen took the quirky side of punk rock to its extreme, parodying the Dead Kennedys, blending amateur-sounding music, inspired by the Dead Kennedys' agitating punk, with lyrics as purposefully stupid as Biafra's were politically baiting. With songs poking fun at middle America and rock in all its forms, the Dead Milkmen honed their novelty act to a nearly professional level. Though entertaining, most of the band's work is little more than a punk rock version of Weird Al Yankovic tunes.
