Description
Who says the 80's were a bunch of synth haircut bands? Here's HAPPY FLOWERS who learned a lot from Flipper and then transmogrified their despair into a kind of adult-sung toddler punk. This is meltdown music. Sample lyrics: "I don't want a Happy Meal! I want an Angry Meal!" Sample song titles: "I Said I Wanna Watch Cartoons" "I'm Gonna Have A Accident" "Let's Eat the Baby (Like My Gerbils Did)"
Well-described by the following citizen review online:
"One of the most berserk and fun records you'll ever find: ragged punk from the point of view of a freaked out five year old. Apparently it was largely improvised too, a quick scribble on a napkin, a swig of liquor, and press record. "I Wanna Watch Cartoons" will have you in tears. I had the unique pleasure of passing a mix CD to a guy from a silly country band once, and shortly after he comes running up behind me, "I'm Mr. Anus! I'm Mr. Anus!!" He was half this band, and saw a track from this on the disc. Other guy is Mr. HCI, aka Mr. Horribly Charred Infant. "why can't we eat the baby, you said we have chicken cause chicken is cheap, well the baby was free, i wanna eat the baby!!" Perfect."
Also, collectors of run-out groove runes and lore should be aware of these matrix numbers:
- Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, hand-etched): HMS 136-1-A S-21534 TINY LIttlE BUNNIES, PlAYINg IN ThE GRASS
- Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, hand-etched): HMS-136-1-B S-21535 TINY LIttlE BUNNIES KICK YOUR FUCKIN ASS
This band should never be forgotten and here's your chance to not. The vinyl is like new (NM) and the sleeve is almost there, with a cutout-clipped corner the only stamp of its lowly origin. Thank you again Homestead Records.
