Bullshit...this is shot at the targetvideo studios by Joe Rees

[1rancidpunk]

hynperactive child!!!!

buen tema

[FrancoAC]

15 dislikes? WTF!?



[icelinx]

PUNK actually never meant to make fast + loud music and to look crazy. PUNK is not to believe everything you are told every day, to start THINKING by your own and to stop doing things you don't agree with no matter, how the consequences are. So maybe there a punks outside not knowing they are some .... ;-)

[VinceMincemeat]

40 seconds of hair standing on the back of my neck.

[blackxred]

That was awesome! Nice to see Jello just into the music without the stage stuff. Thanks for posting!

[804safety]

got into them when i was 12/123 im 34 now and still love all albums,cheers from canada,jellos new band is fuckin ausome as well.

[SharkWADs]

I say this is the best version.

[piratanic13]

I love this song I just wish it lasted longer because it is fucking good!

[residentevlidead]

Story of my life!

[guionlawes]

any Holiday in Cambodia on the lost sessions?

[Butzopower]

Anyone notice that when Jello says "Hyperactive Child, take four", that it's the same version from the album? I wonder if they spliced that clip onto the final cut, or something.

[aluigilegustaelpunk]

biafra looks like strumer!!! :O 

[nederbassie]

could someone tell me what guitar the guitarist is using in this song?

[dylanrico]

@nederbassie I think it has 16 strings or something nuts like that. It was that guitar sound that hooked me to DK 20 years back...

[YoMangTV]

0:56

[YoMangTV]

wtf 0:58 made me laugh. DK forever! Jello for president!

[Alewind1234]

@YoMangTV and ice for everyoneee!!!

[Skaterock408]

DK is the real deal! Thank you for sharing this!

[PutItAway101]

He sounds like a donut puncher

@ParrisVstefanow

Had r core indeed.

[maurovf1]

phodaa

[memyselfandi2001]

although it would have been cool 2 have jello as president i dont think he'd do it. Who would he write songs about then?? and BazookaFrito, i couldnt agree more, this generation is horrible. we' got very few good bands left.

[SoldSeparatly]

Choking Victim is ska punk not hardcore

[Serpo71]

Kick Ass!!

[mebloke69]

Scott Weiland singing......

[westsan]

that so fuckin' kicks!!!

[marchofgodzilla]

Jello For PRESIDENT!!!!

[samthomasmusic]

You could argue Choking Victim was the last "hardcore" or "punk" band, but the best stuff was DK, MDC, etc.

[Bartreligion]

why would choking victim be the last hardcore or punk band?

[samthomasmusic]

@Bartreligion Nobody seems to have the ethos. Either they're dumbfuck skinheads or emos.

[Steroidpoodle]

@samthomasmusic

100 fucking percent TRUTH. thank you. 80-85

[RasJeremiah]

@hookedonponics

Well I'm under 40 and enjoyed DK as a teenager prolly jus' as much as you did. Punk is political and youth are in tune their world as you an I were in our day. Yes their wont be another OP Ivy or GBH or Crass or what ever, but the music and ideas that they left resonate with kidz today, no? Emo still sux BTW. Lol jus kidding.

[hookedonponics1]

there's always room for Jello.. For American Punk rock, these guys were about as true as they come. For you children out there, Punk rock is political. Therefore the Dead Kennedy's are real punk rock. The word punk rock when applied by anyone under 40 is pretty sad. Don't you kids have radiohead and Emo to be cool these days? why don't you kids go flat iron your black dyed hair, paint on those hideous jeans and go hang out with girls that look just you!

[BazookaFrito]

yea im 15 and i hate my fake ass tranny generation

[hesu666]

Upload more please!

[boomerang1071]

I saw these guys in 1984 in Australia, They are still relevant today and yes theyre lyrics still hold up today and forever, as long as there are humans then this music is relevant

[feckineejit]

kick ass.

[typeaggressive]

I like tacos.

The Green Party nominated the wrong man in 2000.

[punkeruit1965]

i was around, but not in the usa unfortunately.

yello for president!

cheers

[seventhhean]

man i wish i was around wen they came out

[histatimaniples]

why so u can be old right now lol

[montysurfsandclimbs]

maybe schizophrenia is a result of they way we butcher animals for food, and how we treat them when alive...all those crazy cows craming into one mind. a herd in your head!!! reincarnation is even getting all fucked up!!

[tjulen7]

I believe today's society does not hold a righteous place for people with extraordinary characheristics and dont want to. For example they say that schizophrenia should be healed with medeicine, while in some other cultures (shamanism) they find this "desease" as part of a path to enlightment... The materialitic society should fall so the spirit will have space to rule!

[fnub]

How come no one writes punk rock like this anymore? Kids today write this crap, call it Emo, what a load of crap! DK's rule!

[darian1112]

fuck emo

[fnub]

hellz ya!

[tyikiki101]

even half of the shit they call punk most the backyard band all sound like the casualties(they fucking suck) and r fashion punx too..at least were i live near LA

[straightedge72]

Being in a punk band is alot better than sitting around bitching about what is and isnt punk.

[tyikiki101]

boring train for the anarchist revolution...take down the govnement down just sit around bitching that singing(preeching) is making a differnce either (like that's got us anywhere in the last 60 years

[straightedge72]

The music has done alot more than you would think. Keeping the scene alive around the world to influence independant thinking, yes please.

[dirtbag1713]

being in a SHITTY punk band is NOT better than bitching about shitty punk. all you're doing is adding to the collection of exploited/casualties/whatever wannabe bands. might as well go play in the bro-down-core hardcore bands too

[straightedge72]

Adding to the collection of wannabe bands? If your a fucking punk you can be whatever the hell you want, you dont have to want. Your elitist attitude isnt what keeps the scene alive, its kids who get off their asses and play some punk music and not sell out.  You dont get to decide whats shitty.

[ayedaddyo]

@straightedge72

Unless what your playing isn't punk and you call yourself punk. Then what? A delicate conundrum indeed...

[Georgettek99]

@ayedaddyo

I like your comments on Dead Kennedys - hyperactive child. Intelligent and good use of grammar.

[scratchcardwinners]

@straightedge72 Realli liked this comment...

The DKs rock. Underground true for life.

[StupidSmartGuy]

@straightedge72

agreed, sir.

[thefish649]

THANK YOU GOD I HATE WHEN PEOPLE COMPARE THE CAUSALITIES TO DEAD KENNEDYS. They are pretty much the nazi punks dead kennedy's are talking about in nazi punks fuck off.

"you aint hardcore when you spike your hair, if a jock still lives inside your head."

[straightedge72]

I like DK alot more than The Casualties, but they sure arnt Nazipunks.

[warofrazors999]

@fnub I dont know what planet on your from, but NOONE writes likes this and calls it Emo, thats one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

[ciano537]

@fnub yeh i really do agree all these emos and pop kids calling themselves punk its a insult to real punks

[gasmaskboi19371945]

@fnub i'm 12 and almost 13 and a lot of kids call the music i like emo i hate it, i'm in a band and we asked someone if they wanted to be in it and now they bitch about singing about the government and religion and he's saying "oooooo we can get arrested, the government haven't done anything wrong ooo" and i asked do you believe in god and he said "yeh i'm a christian!" what should i do ???

[fnub]

@gasmaskboi19371945 I'm Christian too. But Jello tells it like it is and that's what I like about him/the band. If there's a pastor bumfucking little kids, then expose it and get rid of the trash - same to politicians, where it's one lie after the other. Their only words, they can't condemn you for that. If they try, they'll lose, you'll win, and more people start to know who you are - just do it for the right reasons and everything should be just fine...

[gdrugg2006]

@gasmaskboi19371945

Kick him out. It's hard to be in a band with someone who doesn't agree with the rest of you guys. But you're super young. You probably wont find any good musicians to play with for a while, but believe me, you'll find people with the same ideals as you. I started trying to get a band together when I was about your age. I'm 17 now, and I finally have band... And that band has a following... AND we're a punk band. It took a while, but I couldn't be happier with it.

[gasmaskboi19371945]

@gdrugg2006 i know at a young age i wont find many people,like i'm the only one who like's punk but the guitar player and the drummer are happy playing punk but dont really listen to it but our singer is just bitchin about everythin and he says the Jam and The Specials are punk !!! wooot !????!!!

[gdrugg2006]

@gasmaskboi19371945

Haha. I don't know about the Jam, but I like the Specials. Good 'ol 2 tone.

[gasmaskboi19371945]

@gdrugg2006 The Specials Are Good but not punk, thats what i say to him

[gdrugg2006]

@gasmaskboi19371945

Yeah definitely.

Well, if you wanna talk more punk/music in general sometime, message me or something brah.

[FarOutFilms1]

@fnub actually there are still good punk bands around like f***cked up

[stealthfighter077]

@fnub all punk has gone mostly underground now, or converted to fucking metal.

[8000cheese]

@fnub im trying to make a revival and no one understands, lol

[Mennismervice]

These doctors would not listen that the medication was causing serious health problems. the whole ADHD diagnosis is a FRAUD.This is something the medical professionals and educators keep from you and instead they push drugs on your kids to calm them and force them into conforming to what they want them to be. Stifling their creativity and intelligence. They falsify IQ tests and brain wash the parents into believing their kids are simply stupid. This way they can keep them out of the class room

[Mennismervice]

I have 2 children who were forced on medication through the school system. I tried telling the doctors and the school that there were problems. i.e., vomiting daily or several times a week; obsession with death and dying; increased heart rate/palpitations; blood in poop, dizziness; tired all the time; loss of sleep; night terrors; hallucinations; headaches; arms, legs and chest pain; listlessness; nausea; loss of appetite; severe weight loss and the list can go on

[greenelf12]

2 children?

your profile say's your 15?

[Mennismervice]

i was reading an article

[CDHIgnorance]

Sounds like a normal day for me. Except im a 42 year old welder fabricator who just recoverd from back surgery. If they think life sucks now, they have no idea how much it can really suck. The only reason I dont kill myself is that I like beer,food and pussy too much.

[jasonithompson]

Fuck! you have two more reasons than me to live(42 2)

[mmmisterPresident]

So hyperactive cool!

[zexja]

The audio is so great, it actually sounds better than the CD that was eventually released....

[docbops]

when I was 12 everyone was into ACDC

I was into the Clash didn't even know that I was punk rocker. yet by 15 I was hardcore

I still have the ticket stub from 1985 at The World on Ave. A in NYC

Target of Demand, Adrenalin OD, Reagan Youth, DOA, Dead Kenendys

my first real show and the one that I remember most

[video91101]

these videos are PRICELESS.

[whyupushmyhouse]

for most punk was just a fad but it had far greater implications!

[ManFromMelbourne]

In the last 70s England`s Sex Pistols were the world`s number 1 punk band. Their stance as the number 1 punk band was seriously under threat though when America produced the Dead Kennedys.

[DerekJeterYankees]

Now lets not forget The Clash!!...

[antipatriotmissile]

no more hyperactive child

Got too much of a mind

Wouldn't you rather be happy?

Now this won't hurt a bit'

Cameras in the balls

No windows, just brick walls

Pledge allegiance to a flag

Now you will obey¡­

[Mennismervice]

cameras in the balls?

[boonyford]

drag me to the floor, pull down my pants, ram a needle up my butt, send my brain into a trance. go the kennedys, newcastle australia

[antipatriotmissile]

I'm tired of kissin' ass I can't sit still all day You know I know your school's a lie That's why you dragged me here 'you're a hyperactve child You're disruptive, you're too wild We're going to calm you down Now this won't hurt a bit' Drag me to the floor Pullin' down my pants Ram a needle up my butt Put my brain into a trance

[sumproduct0001]

For those of you who remember DKs (and other bands just as aware), and aren't just now seeing them, how has life shaped up for you??? Are your ideals the same, but hidden under a facade of respectability, political correctness, and the Amerikan way??? IF SO, WHY DID YOU GIVE UP??!!!

[typeanoise]

because, bottom line, it's time to grow up. it happened. its over. start a new life. im guessing you live in a shitty apartment still wearing combat boots and shitty clothes wondering where your life went. peace.

[aghostisborn]

i thought sumproduct0001 had a great question, and you had to give an ignorant answer by basically saying that money>personal convictions. he may live in a shitty apartment wearing combat boots and shitty clothes, but at least he has a soul.

[furoshus]

I sold my soul and used the proceeds to start a punk band...

[Nick0L]

Let's see, at the time when I was into the DK's, the early 80s, I was about 14 or 15. I wanted all sorts of radical stuff to happen, for example, I really hoped that a revolution would happen in this country.

Now, I'm still far to the left, but I don't believe in revolution. I believe you can change things at the ballot box. I've seen all sorts of progress in my life, despite the fact that the right has run this country for so long. So I still have my ideals, and I haven't given up at all.

[deepspacer]

Lost, Cracking dvd

[jonesmh123]

these lost sessions sound better than the ep in my opinion this fucking rules!

[P34V3Y7]

good shit

[varulv234]

Anarchy will never work....

[AnarchistCommunity]

It already does friend.

[varulv234]

WTF?!? No it doesn't there is still government ruling shit...

[AnarchistCommunity]

Very true, I should explain myself. What I ment by it already does is that in our everyday life we unconciously go about our own little anarchistic societys, if you could call it that, i e with your friends and even just driving down the street. Of course I dont mean as a large scale society, but in small scale we are part of it everyday and always will be unless we force ourselfs not to be part of it. Remember, there where not always rulers, and they will not stick forever.

[varulv234]

Ok, thanks, i was expecting some shitty-ass stupid reply, but you were polite, thanks again=)

Klaus is something else... :)

[nachoseller99]

but he's awesome

[sloopjohnb9]

now this won't hurt a bit!

[DarkSunshineRain]

This is awesome...I have the CD where they sing this song...it's awesome to see it as well as hear it!

[Flowstone]

Nazis are nazis theres no such thing as a Nazi Punk

Punks beilve in- Anarchy

Nazis- Facism

facism and anarchy are completly difrent from eachother

[DerangedRanger1]

I second that!

Anarchism threatens the power structures so those in power must use propaganda to make it look bad.

[BandsImWorkingOn]

I third that

[SGmania1216]

i 4th it

[TRiToX91]

i could say 5th that but.... that would seem old...

[an0nanthrax]

OK Retards, they arent nazi, the whole point is satire. they speak from the point of view of these people, idiiots.

[darklord20042002]

u ever heard there song nazi punks fuck off ... enough said... -_-

[Michellemartin1]

Dead Kennedys kick so much ass- who cares if they're nazis! Jello Biafra for President!

[CousinItx]

Since when were DK Nazis?

[CousinItx]

Wtf...people downvoted my comment for saying they are NOT Nazis...wtf.

[Michellemartin1]

This is to whoever replied "Since when are the Dead Kennedys Nazis?" They're not- I was commenting on the people that think they are.Fools!

[DrinkmyBlood687]

koggi242 your dumbass

[zoidberg1337]

yes koggi242 they ARE a nazi band

thats why they have a song called "nazi punks fuck off"

[gabestinks]

...they we're say fuck off to nazi punks...you were joking right? seriously they hate red neck assholes...not to mention the drummers black, that would make the whole nazi thing a bit odd.

[bman10030]

this is the one on the album

[CousinItx]

Uhh...why did everyone down-vote your comment?

It's true!

This IS the version on the album,it even has that weird noise Jello makes at the beginning.

[Dumpsterbaby1991]

I was honestly wondering if this was the album version or if he just made that exact noise again. :-P

[joesoap2006]

Extreme thanks for posting all this.

[pennyanarchy02]

yes there is a black drummer and i think it's great, DK is not a nazi band, are you crazy to say this. this song fuckin rocks.

[nokroblosho]

dks woohoo only if they were still going

[koggi242]

are they a nazi band?

with a negro drummer?

[robrobrob456]

you must be pretty stupid to think they are a nazi band, "nazi punks fuck off" ????

[wildanimalboy]

duh

[CousinItx]

lol.you obviously don't know much about Dead Kennedys

[MusicManVal]

sa envoi du paté ;)

[goodtimecharly]

good video but lost tapes?

This is the album recording, right down to the take number and the little "wbluu" noise jello makes at the begginning

[omfgapolarbear]

These were going to be the cuts used for the album, but something happened and these are all thats left, and it was tied into the video cut, so they just did retakes.

[zombeast231]

i love dead kennedys

[Hooklineansinker]

is jelio gay?

[evelau]

No, but why would it matter?

[frankgriley]

r they a nazi band

[prissboy91]

of course not

[BreValintine]

no im pretty sure there an anti-nazi band

[baabuuloo]

The drummer's black, man...

[fiendclub95]

are u trying to be rasist or sumthing because my ass wants to know

[anafewentezz]

i went to see them in hollywood on 6/6/08 and they are STILL great.

[zombeast231]

[thelastsunrise08]

I still think there the best band..

[STUKARUDDER]

[SephirothxReno]

HE WAS SO HOT!!! i love Jello, and the rest os the Dead Kennedys!

[DDONGKANman]

i love dead kennedys

[danielpeterpresberge]

so badass !

[jilbear]

first black man in a punk band? what about bad brains?

[manjoe2995]

and the guitarist for suicidal tendencies...

[joshjosh182]

Arent suicidal tendencies more of a metal band?

[manjoe2995]

they call em self "punk metal"

but yea they are more of a metal band than a punk band.

[ihatethewordpunx]

id agree but their early early work was really punky in the riffs and drum chops but i guess a lot of bands are getting heavier and putting that heavy metal shuffle in like agnostic front and bad brains

but i prefer the old fast beat that snare sound than the new ones..wish music was made like this still

[BandsImWorkingOn]

Personally I like some of what Bad Brains and Suicidal Tendencies did (unfortunately some of it isn't that great), but Agnostic Front has just pissed me off. Though all of those bands' punk stuff was much better in my opinion.

[frrrrruuunkis]

bad brains certainly were not metal, or dk for that matter. there is no metal riffs or drums ...nothing about it is metal...d-bag

[rosterguard99]

Super awesome! DKs rule!

[slurpee27]

Damn...they are the stuff

[mozart579]

Fantastic!. Haven't heard this for a LONG time. Still great!
