Ahh, a guy who dubbed himself "weird" to make MYV spoofs of MTV hits for the MTV set? Don't forget Cyndi Lauper for that Ponk Rokc & Roll.
Eh, check out The Residents, "Never Known Questions" from Not Available. Listen to it all the way through, the album if you would too. Try that in a world that was Zep is God vs Saturday Night Fever John Travolta wannabes, both sides hammering you in the Drone Wars.
That was the beauty of it, I listened to what I wanted while I saw Sabbath fans suddenly sport DAs and polyester suits the next day because that's what everyone else did.
Incidentally, my first taste of Hard Core Punk was the Weirdos "Helium Bar" on this Residents hosted show once.
For a little familiarity give The Residents version of "Satisfaction" a twirl. Listen to the rest of their catalog too. And also the '5th Resident,' Snakefinger, while you're at it.
Back when music was beautiful.
