Sicks (album)

Sicks is the fourth album released by novelty rock group Barnes & Barnes. It was originally released in 1986 by Rhino Records, and rereleased in 2005 by Oglio Records. Its title takes its name from the fact that it is their sixth non-single release (including their previous three albums and two EP's), and also that it was deliberately created as a "sick" album. A sticker on the shrinkwrap of the original LP read, "Warning! The sickest songs ever collected on one record."

Trivia

1. The cover of the album is from the video of "Love Tap" from Spazchow.
2. "I Hate the Boss" was originally on the "lost" album Code of Honor, and was reworked for this album. It appears in its original form on Kodovoner
3. Pussy Whipped was co-written by actor Miguel Ferrer. It is through Bob and Bill's friendship with Miguel that got his father Jose Ferrer to appear in their video release Zabagabee.
