The Dead Kennedys - Dear Abby

* This has always been one of my favorite Dead Kennedys songs. Mostly because of the lovely subject matter:


Dear abby,

Got a problem. I’m a decent, underpaid, hardworking county coroner.
It’s important that my family eat meat at least three times a week,
but we just can’t afford to with the prices the way they are...
so I bring home some choice cuts from my autopsy subjects.
Just mix in the tuna helper and ta-da!

The whole family thinks my new meals are delicious.
They ask me what’s my secret Abby, I think they’re getting suspicious.
My smart-ass 8-year-old keeps asking, where’s all the meat?
The red dye #2 kind that’s kept in the fridge.

If they find out the truth I don’t think they’ll understand.
Abby, what do I tell my family?!

Dear reaganomics victim: consult your clergyman.
Make sure the body’s blessed and everything should be just fine.

I think everyone has already mentioned every song I could think of...

Book Of Love did a great cover of this back in 1987. Really good for clubs.

slightly off topic but...I used Mike Oldfield's song "The Bell" for our wedding processional...when I first mentioned it to people, I had to convince them it wasn't the theme to the Excorcist
