Klingonz are a psychobilly band formed in 1988.
Their original line-up had Titch doing lead vocals, Doyley on guitar, Strangy playing double bass and Mocker on drums. Strangy was replaced by Eddie after their second album, Blurb.
Strangy joined Karloff, known then as Numbskulls, a band fronted by Strangy's brother Ash. Mick of Phantom Rockers would later replace Doyley on Guitar.
In 1998 this line-up recorded an EP entitled The Mad are Sane under the name Looper.

Doyley and Strangy went on to form Celtic Bones.

The band reformed with the original line-up in 2001 and continue to tour and record.
In summer 2009 Doyley hacked it and left the band.

------------------------

"Too Drunk to Fuck" was the fourth single by the Dead Kennedys. The record was released in May 1981 on Cherry Red Records with "The Prey" as the b-side. Both songs from this single are available on the rarities album Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death (1987).
The single reached Number 36 in the UK Singles Chart, although it was not stocked in some record shops because of its provocative title. It was the first UK Top 40 single to include the word "fuck" in its title. Not surprisingly, it was banned from Radio 1 airplay by the BBC. In chart listings, it was usually referred to as "Too Drunk To". When it reached the Top 40, presenter Tony Blackburn referred to it simply as "a record by the Dead Kennedys".[citation needed] The Dead Kennedys supplied a sticker for some record stores who took offense to the title which said, "Caution: You are the victim of yet another stodgy retailer afraid to warp your mind by revealing the title of this record so peel slowly and see..."
The song features a heavy surf rock/garage rock riff from guitarist East Bay Ray and satirical lyrics from Jello Biafra that paint a trenchant picture of an outrageous, moronic party.

Cover versions

Serbian punk rock band Atheist Rap recorded a cover version of the song which appeared on the Punk You All various artists compilation in 1998.
Stephan Weidner played this song a few times on his "Schneller, Höher, Weidner"-Tour.
Thrash Metal band Holy Moses plays the song usually as encore on their live performances.
Nouvelle Vague have a popular cover on their self-titled first album Nouvelle Vague.
Finnish ska band The Valkyrians have recorded a cover version of the song.
The Psychobilly Band Klingonz covered the song on the album Blurb.
Basque punk rock band Lendakaris Muertos made a cover called Demasiado ciego para follar.
Buckcherry's first single on their Black Butterfly album is entitle "Too Drunk...", and it's refrain is "Too Drunk to Fuck," but though it may draw on its title, it is not actually a cover version of the Dead Kennedys song.
Die Kassierer, a punk rock band from Germany, made a cover called Zu voll zum Verkehr on their album "Musik für beide Ohren".
