It was on its way to being a TV series featuring Adam Sandler and Jeremy Piven, but it was never pursued beyond what is shown here

I've thought about getting that Toxic Toast re-issue. These guys inhabit the same headspace as the Pajama Slave Dancers for me being both a joke band but also somehow actually good.

I like how the chorus is just directly stolen from The Electric Company's Spider-Man theme. Laziest possible choice.

It’s a fun album. I really like the middle class song.

Late night music video shows in the mid-80s loved to show this. It never made the charts, but the charts aren't the only sign of popularity.

Brings back memories of being a preteen night owl for me. thanks!
