Oh, god, memories! My mom listened to you guys all the time when I was a kid, and the other day one of your songs randomly got stuck in my head (Put a Lid On It). It wouldn't get out, so I looked you up on youtube, and here you are.
God, ages ago my mom took my brother and sister to one of your concerts wearing lampshade fezzes decorated with zippers, almonds, and squirrel plushies. I think we still have one of the fezzes...
I always think its so weird that that voice comes out of this guy. He just doesn't look like who I'd picture for that voice! Nonetheless, the band (and voice) rule!
How do you know? Because you just heard him say it? If you are a fan from back in the days you know it was an old candy. Listen to the album "Sold Out" as it features multiple old commercials for the candy.
Nut in the zipper...ouch !!!

How in the world does this band do it?!?!?
Every album is different, almost like they reinvent themselves yet still have that unmistakable SNZ sound! One of the best bands EVER in my opinion!

I thought it came from the candy with the same name. I guess I've been telling friends the wrong origin.
