The Radies Man: Heading right up your alley

Long before William Hung endeared himself to the nation by reinterpreting the modern classic "She Bangs," there was the Radies Man.

First appearing on the aptly-named Poop Alley Tapes in 1995, the Radies Man provided a beacon of inspiration for those of questionable mental capacity and limited English skills. And for the record, what in fact is a "hungry donkey woman"?

RADIES MAN - "Honky Tonky Woman"

No hamsters!

Rare is the Smash Hit that you actually get to see live on stage. By accident.

The Black Death aka Beer Vampire (there was some confusion as to their actual name) had gained some small amount of infamy from appearing on late-night cable access in Brooklyn. Somehow this translated into a gig at the Luna Lounge.

Once it became clear that the overweight, 40-something men puttering around the stage were not in fact roadies for the other bands on the bill, the small audience was treated to a mixture of terrible, monotone punk and rants about how the club had put the wrong name on schedule posted outside. "We're called the Black Death," sulked the bass player who no doubt belongs to a welder's union. "Our first album was called Beer Vampire...so yeah. Anyway. That's fucked up."

The shining moment of their set came with this lovely ode to all things feline:

BLACK DEATH - "I Like P"


Take note: hamsters and farm animals need not apply.
