[edit] Satirical punk
Are there any references to refer to the DM as a "satirical punk" band. There used to be an article on "funny punk" which was deleted. I thought that there might actually be documentation of the use of "satirical punk" i think that's a really good description of this band and would also relate to a number of other bands. Anyone? Ideas? Xsxex 01:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Official Break-up?
when did the Milkmen officially break-up, i do understand, based on the FAQ section on there website, that they are still together sort of, and are holding out the possibility, maybe, of still playing shows. What I'm wondering is how is this defined? Indefinitely on hiatus, (since what year), broken up, broken up and reformed later? What happened between, like, 1996-2006? Xsxex 01:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

- They broke up...I don't think that their FAQ gives the impression that they're open to playing live shows again at all. In fact, it pretty plainly says that they're not willing to set their current lives aside to play out. The 2004 shows were special circumstances, and in light of Dave's death, I seriously doubt they'll play again. The FAQ states that they are still together only on paper. 206.15.76.98 17:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bitchin Camaro
As much as I like that song, I don't think we need to have the lyrics to the entire song listed here. Maybe spinning it off into a new article would be a good idea. I'm gonna take it out though. Here are the lyrics:
Rod - Hey Jack, what's happenin'? Joe - Oh, I don't know. Rod - Well, rumor around town says you think you might be heading down to the shore. Joe - Uh, yeah, I think I'm goin' down to the shore. Rod - Whatcha gonna do down there? Joe - Uh, I don't know, play some video games, buy some Def Leppard t-shirts. Rod - Hey, don't forget to get your Motley Crue t-shirt, y'know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail. Joe - Uh huh. Rod - Hey, you gonna check out the Sandbar while you're there? Joe - Uh, what's the Sandbar? Rod - Oh, it's this place that lets sixteen year-old kids drink. Joe - Oh, cool. Rod - Y'know who's gonna be there? Joe - Uh, who? Rod - My favorite cover band, Crystal Shit. Joe - Oh. Rod - Yeah, they do a Doors show, you'd be really impressed, in fact, it goes a little like this: Love me two times baby Love me twice today Love me two times girl Cause I got AIDS Love me two times baby, once for tomorrow, once cause I got AIDS Joe - Wow, Pretty good Jim Morrison impersonation there. Rod - Yeah, I hope those guys have a good sense of humor and don't take us to court. Joe - Uh, what's the court? Rod - Never mind that, Joe - Oh, you mean like the People's Court? Rod - Well, that's another story; the important thing here is you gotta ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore. Joe - Uh, how you gonna get down to the shore? Rod - Funny you should ask, I've got a car now. Joe - Oh wow, how'd you get a car? Rod - Oh my parents drove it up here from the Bahamas. Joe - You're kidding! Rod - I must be, the Bahamas are islands, okay, the important thing now, is that you ask me what kind of car I have. Joe - Uh, what kinda car do ya' got? Rod - I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO! BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I ran over my neighbors BITCHIN CAMARAO, BITCHIN CAMARO Now it's in all the papers. My folks bought me a BITCHIN CAMARO with no insurance to match; So if you happen to run me down, please don't leave a scratch. I ran over some old lady one night at the county fair; And I didn't get arrested, because my dad's the mayor. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Doughnuts on your lawn BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Tony Orlando and Dawn When I drive past the kids, they all spit and cuss, Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO and they have to ride the bus. So you'd better get out of my way, when I run through your yard; Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO And an Exxon credit card. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Hey, man where ya headed? BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I drive on unleaded.

[edit] Origin of Name
My former roommate used to be close friends with the band when she lived in Philly. She claimed that the Dead Milkmen took their name from a comic book, Reid Flemming, World's Toughest Milkman.
- The actual origin of the name has always been a mystery. Joe Jack Talcum has never told the same story twice about how he came up with the name. While many of us would like to have this mystery solved we will have to accept the fact with Joe not everything that comes out of his mouth can be trusted.--Riferimento 18:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, anyone want to prepend "The" to the band's name everywhere? ~ Strathmeyer 22:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
