A me già il titolo fa sorridere, e quante volte mi son sorpreso a fischiettare per strada qualche ‘aria' dell'album in questione...
Secondo album del gruppo americano, nasce dalla voglia di divertirsi e divertire. La musica è punk, diciamolo subito se non si fosse già capito. Qualche coretto alla beach boys, qualche punto in cui i nostri si ricordano che una chitarra ha sei corde, ma poi sconcertati dal suono che ne esce ritornano su sentieri a loro più consoni, lastricati di tuppa tuppa, accordi di quinta e amenità varie.
Musica senza troppe pretese, dunque. Infatti il successo, se così si può definire, dev'essere andato loro incontro inaspettato come un gancio sul ring, ‘magnifico e privo di luce come l'andirivieni dello schizo'.
Certo anche il buon Joe Queer/King (da distinguere dal Joe King dei "The Fray", con cui credo non abbia in comune altro, se non forse l'appartenenza al genere homo), frontman e fondatore della band, dev'essere rimasto non poco sorpreso quando, nei vari tour che l'hanno portato in giro per i bar di mezzo mondo, scorse il gatto mascotte fare capolino dalle magliette di cosi tanti, e tante!, fans.
L'impressionante numero di cambiamenti di line-up fa supporre che egli, come ogni artista illuminato, non sopportasse di dover scendere a compromessi con i membri del gruppo e di dover cambiare le sue composizioni, risultando insopportabile.
Inoltre, non credo che i Queers possano essere citati tra le fonti d'ispirazione di qualche band (forse anche per la vergogna di farlo, di certo il nome non aiuta..), e che quindi il loro contributo si limiti soltanto a deviare per qualche tempo l'adolescenza di qualche malcapitato dal sentiero amorevolmente tracciato dai genitori.
Insomma, musica fatta per ricordarci, fratelli, che un giorno dobbiam pur morire e che forse, a volte non val la pena di prenderci così sul serio. Pertanto suvvia, strappate la scopa dalle mani di vostra madre per la chitarra, un mestolo ed una penna per la batteria, e a squarciagola: "I Can't Stop Farting"...

04 Teenage Bonehead (02:20)
My folks had me commited just two weeks ago
My best friend ran off with my girl - those two damn bozos
Oh and don't you know it hurts
But hey she ain't the first
She ain't the first
I was a teenage bonehead - Yes it's true
I was a teenage bonehead - A-wah-ooh-ooh
I was a teenage bonehead just because of you
My parents kicked me out, I'm sick of them so I don't care
My girl sent me a post card saying "Glad that you're not here"
Oh and don't you know it hurts
But hey she ain't the first
She ain't the first
[Chorus]
She never said goodbye to me, now I sit here wondering
Where she is and what she's eating...
Oh and don't you know it hurts
But hey she ain't the first
She ain't the first
[Chorus]
07 Feeling Groovy (02:21)
I'm feeling so sick, someone get me a beer
My life is a shambles, you know I'm a Queer
My head it really pounds and pounds
Records just go round and round
Mom and Dad - they just hate my guts
The only girls I know are sluts
Say I'm deeply troubled
Oh I shake my head it just ain't so
Daddy beat me with a hose
Got kicked out of the Webelos
Feeling so groovy
I'm feeling so groovy
I'm feeling so groovy it sucks
Phone's disconnected, hey I'll never learn
Just eleven more months 'til my income tax returns
I'm really not that dumb you know
Got lots of beer and Tuinols
Ran over Rin Tin Tin today
His Alpo's mine now, hey it's great
Say I'm deeply troubled
Oh I shake my head it just ain't so
Daddy beat me with a hose
Kicked out of the Webelos
[Chorus]
Well I was walking down the street
With my head held high
Thinking everything was alright
When a big fat bird came and shit on my head
Man that's the story of my life
Feeling so sick, someone get me a beer
My life is a shambles, you know I'm Joe Queer
I'm not really that dumb you know
Got lots of beer and Tuinols
Ran over Rin Tin TIn today
His Alpo's mine now, hey it's great
Say I'm deeply troubled
Oh I shake my head it just ain't so
I've gone completely out of hand
I want Dan Vapid in my band
[Chorus]

12 Night of the Livid Queers (02:20)
Am I going crazy or is it my empty head
B-Face is so lazy all day he stays in bed
Going out with Nikki made Hugh's brain go dim
But Johhny Ramone knows I can play faster than him
GO
GO
Flippin' out I'm trippin' out
I'm really shittin' now
Night of the Livid Queers <i>[x2]
A.J. hangs around with total acne on his face
Me and Lash are slingin' hash over at Joe's Place
The Queers threw all the knuckle-heads out the fuckin' door
B-Face better clean all the puke up off the floor
[Chorus]
15 Monster Zero (02:17)
I took her to the drive-in, she looked so sweet
We started necking in the back seat
She says she's crazy, well I'm crazy too
I think that bonehead should stop sniffing glue
I think she's nuts, I think she's really gone
I think she's on pot
She's crazy, I'm lazy, who gives a fuck
Oh Yeah...
Monster Zero <i>[x4]
I think she's whacked out, she thinks I'm cheap
I tried to kiss her but she fell asleep
Thought I impressed her with my dad's car
She's looking at me like I'm a retard
I think she's nuts, I think she's really gone
I think that she's on pot
She's crazy, I'm lazy, who gives a fuck
Oh Yeah...
Monster Zero <i>[x4]
16 Day Dreaming (03:49)
Yeah, I was thinking that my life was all through
But now it ain;t since I got you
Oh honey don't, don't you be so cool
Stick with me, I'll stick with you
Yeah, you taught me wrong from right
And now I brush my teeth every night
Oh honey don't, don't you be so cruel
Stick with me, I'll stick with you
I used to think some girls were really the most
But I know better now
Is this infatuation or just my imagination...
I'm daydreaming my life away 'cause of you
Yeah, I love the funny clothes that you wear
And the little things you do to your hair
Oh honey don't, don't you be so cool
Stick with me, I'll stick with you
I used to think some girls were really the most
But I know better now
I always wished I always hoped
And they always let me down
So don't say maybe 'cause I need you baby now
Is this infatuation or just my imagination...
I'm daydreaming my life away 'cause of you

Di Pinhead
You suck motherfucker!
Un sonoro «Fottetevi!» cantato in faccia a tutti i benpensanti sostenitori del politically correct rocchettaro e una grassa risata per seppellirli.
