The Dead Milkmen - Smokin Banana Peels
Review by Marie-Claude Birmann
Dead Milkmen's album Smokin Banana Peels is a classic example of their unique punk rock sound. The album features 14 tracks that are full of satirical lyrics, witty commentary, and catchy guitar riffs.
The album starts off strong with the upbeat and humorous "The Big Sleazy." The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its clever wordplay and playful melody. Other standout tracks include "The Secret of Life," which features a driving bassline and a catchy chorus, and "Anderson, Walkman, Buttholes, and How!" which showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend punk rock with elements of funk and psychedelic rock.
One of the album's highlights is the band's cover of "Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance to Anything)" by The Waitresses. Dead Milkmen's version is just as catchy and danceable as the original, but with their own unique twist.

About The Dead Milkmen
The Dead Milkmen are a Punk band that started in the late 70's by Joseph Genaro as a "band" that recorded and distributed tapes of music recorded on low fidelity 4-tracks. By 1983, the group had its lineup filled in with Rodney Linderman, (Vocals, Keys (1983-1995, 2004, 2008-present)) Joseph Genaro, (Vocals, Guitar (1983-1995, 2004, 2008-present)) Dean Sabatino, (Drums (1983-1995, 2004, 2008-present)) and Dave Schulthise (Bass (1983-1995)).
The group released their first full-length LP "Big Lizard in My Backyard" in 1985 on Restless Records. This was followed by:
- Eat Your Paisley! (1986, Restless) - Including minor hit songs like "Beach Party Vietnam."
- Bucky Fellini (1987, Enigma) - Produced by Brian Beattie, who produced the next albums "Beelzebubba" and "Metaphysical Graffiti."
- Beelzebubba (1988, Enigma) - Had a brush with the mainstream with their most well-known song, "Punk Rock Girl."
- Metaphysical Graffiti (1990, Restless) - Had minor hits like "Methodist Coloring Book" and "If You Love Somebody, Set Them on Fire."
- Soul Rotation (1992, Hollywood) - Joseph Genaro took over lead vocals for the album.
- Not Richard, But Dick (1993, Hollywood) - Shorter, 10 song album with elements from both "Soul Rotation" and other previous releases.
- Stoney's Extra Stout (Pig) (1995, Restless) - Final studio album by the original line-up.
The group also released a live album during their time as a band and several collection albums during and after that time and The Dead Milkmen disbanded in 1995 due to health issues faced by the tendinitis growing in Schulthise's hands as well as issues with Hollywood Records years prior. About 10 years after their disbandment, Schulthise committed suicide on March 10, 2004 by drug overdose. That year, the remaining Dead Milkmen played a few tribute concerts with the bass filled in by Dan Stevens (Bass (2004, 2008-present) and four years later played a show at the Austin TX "Fun Fun Fun Fest."
The Dead Milkmen decided to officially reform that year to produce new albums and play live shows with Dan Stevens sticking on bass guitar. The new line-up released:
- The King in Yellow (2011, self-released) - The group's first studio album in 16 years.
- Pretty Music for Pretty People (2014, Quid Ergo) - The follow up to "The King in Yellow," containing tracks from various singles released in 2012 and 2013 and 6 new tracks.
Besides these, The Dead Milkmen have released an EP: "Welcome to the End of the World" (2017, The Giving Groove) for philanthropic reasons and have since continued to tour and play shows.

My favorite song by them. I saw them on Halloween years ago. They asked for a request , and I yelled this until they played it. The audience looked at me like I was crazy, I guess they never heard it before.

Rotten, really really reallllyyy Rotten bodies. Trying not to spew, think I am going to, it has gotta smell better than this, there is not enough febreeze in the world. ???

This song reminds me of my alcoholic days , when I would throw up every morning, and driving the car and trying to puke out of the passenger window ( I don't know why I didn't aim for the driver's side window, it probably would of been less messy) oh the memories!

I like Robert Plant's cover version better. The Cure's cover of it is pretty good too.
