From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Starjob is an EP by The Frogs that was recorded in 1994, and finally released in 1997. Billy Corgan produced the record under the alias "Johnny Goat", and Jimmy Chamberlin played bongos for the song "Raped".
The songs on Starjob deal with celebrity and fame, although the songs "Raped" and "Weird on the Avenue" continue the perverse themes of most other albums. "I Only Play 4 Money" may be the most well known song by the band, which contains the lyrics "I don't give a fuck about the fans" and "if you send me fanmail/I won't write back". "Lord Grunge" is an homage "Seattle Sound", and references The Who, Black Sabbath, Black Flag and the Beatles as the forefathers of grunge.[1]
This release is considerably better-produced than most of the Frogs' previous material, which can sound like home recordings.
