  • Back in the day, I made a friend put this song in his car stereo and play it loud. His skylight BLEW OFF and exploded in the air. True story

  • Isn't this Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon?

  • @Viggetorr They recorded a version of the song, but this is definitely Eugene Chadbourne and Evan Johns.

  • @tpacklick Okay, then Spotify must be wrong, 'cause they have this exact version tagged as Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon. Also, it looks like it was recorded a while ago, but they're singing about Al Gore?

  • @Viggetorr

    1. Spotify is wrong.

    From Chadbourne’s web site: “1993 - 7” Achey Rakey Heart/ Checkers of Blood was the single release in the UK from this project. A Jello Biafra/ Mojo Nixon mini-CD or EP from this period also featured the Achey Rakey track.”

    2. Al Gore was vice president of the U.S. in 1993.

  • @tpacklick

    Okay, then it's the same version on both CDs, that explains everything.

    About Gore, I know he was vice president back then, but I was thinking even further back in time,

  • @Viggetorr

    Back in 1985, The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) committee formed by four women, including Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore.

    The PMRC was a favorite target of independent musicians, such as Chadbourne, Biafra, and Nixon.

  • @tpacklick Ah, okey, I didn't know Gore had been in politics for so long. Yeah, I've read a little about the PMRC, there's a pretty fun interview with Tipper and Jello here on youtube where they discuss it.

    "What kind of example do you set for your kids when you lie on national television?"
