Music For Mutants

The sweet little tale of Bird Brain, a chicken-headed zombie who is literally falling apart piece by piece and yet still manages to attack his closest friends in a bloody rampage. This song was written and recorded in collaboration with Mr. Ego Plum.


TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF, MY FRIEND YOU ARE A MESS
BOY YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME
YOUR CRANIUM IS CRACKED AND YOUR BRAIN IS EXPOSED
WELL IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND

YOUR EYEBALLS ARE POPPING OUT OF YOUR SKULL
AND DANGLING FROM THEIR SOCKETS
YOU OUGHT TO SHOVE YOUR EYES BACK INTO YOUR HEAD
OR AT LEAST PUT 'EM INTO YOUR POCKETS

YOU JUMPED OUT OF BED
MISSING HALF YOUR HEAD
NOW YOU'RE THE LIVING DEAD
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

UNFINISHED SURGERY
FOR YOUR LOBOTOMY
DON'T SPILL YOUR BRAINS ON ME
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

ALRIGHT, THIS IS GOING JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR
I TELL YA BUDDY, THAT'S NOT COOL
YOU WENT OUT ON A DATE AND YOUR BORROWED MY TIE
NOW IT'S SOAKING WITH YOUR BLOODY DROOL
AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S LOOKING PALE AS A CORPSE

BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY
HEY I WAS ONLY JOKING, WE'RE STILL PALS RIGHT
WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME?
HERE, HAVE THIS INSTEAD

IT'S A PIECE OF BREAD
OW, DON'T PECK MY HEAD
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!
UGH, I'M FEELING WEAK

MY GUTS ARE IN YOUR BEAK
MY FUTURE'S GETTING BLEAK
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

Bird Brain

This is a public service announcement with chickens! A very short one written especially for a compilation of safety tip songs. Listen closely to this song...it just might save your life.

    Look both ways before crossing the street
    Or get better acquainted with the concrete
    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    To get the other side
    But it didn't watch out for oncoming traffic
    And it got hit by a teenage driver going for a joyride
    Sent him on up to that big chicken coop in the sky
    So look both ways before crossing the street

Look Both Ways

One of our biggest influences is Barry Louis Polisar and his very brilliantly offbeat children's records. The original song, a response to those concerned about the nutrition of a vegetarian diet, comes from Barry's 1975 album, "I Eat Kids and other songs for Rebellious Children" We took his anthem about not eating chickens and cows and cowpunked it up for this recording. 

I Eat Kids (Barry Louis Polisar cover)

Beware, if you play this song backwards, you may summon up the evil demonic chicken El Pollo Diablo...though something far worse may occur if you play it fowards.

Initially inspired by a wet and greasy pizza box, this is what could happen when an untested artificial fat substitute goes horribly wrong and a becomes enormous oily monster devouring your city.

Based on the true story of Mike the Headless Chicken, a rooster from Fruita, Colorado who miraculously remained alive after having his head chopped off. He soon rose to fame and toured sideshows across America in the 1940's. We found Mike's refusal to die even after being decapitated to be very inspirational and we dedicate this song to him.

    MICHAEL WAS A CHICKEN

    WELL, A ROOSTER TO BE EXACT

    HE HAD THE GRAVE MISFORTUNE

    OF BEING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE AXE

    DECAPITATION EQUALS DEATH

    TO MOST THAT'S JUST A GIVEN

    BUT OL' MIKE SAW THINGS DIFFERENT

    SO HE WENT ON A LIVIN'

    HEADLESS MIKE, THE HEADLESS CHICKEN

    HEADLESS MIKE REFUSED TO DIE

    HEADLESS MIKE, HIS HEART KEPT TICKIN'

    HEADLESS MIKE, OH WHAT A GUY

    AN INSTANT CELEBRITY

    HE TOURED THE COUNTRY IN AN AUTO

    PROBABLY THE GREATEST THING

    THAT EVER CAME FROM COLORADO

    SO IF YOU'RE FEELING BLUE

    THINK YOU'VE BEEN DEALT A BOGUS HAND

    JUST REMEMBER HEADLESS MIKE

    AND HOLLAR "AIN'T LIFE GRAND!"

    HEADLESS MIKE, THE HEADLESS CHICKEN

    HEADLESS MIKE REFUSED TO DIE

    HEADLESS MIKE, ALIVE AND KICKIN'

    HEADLESS MIKE, OH WHAT A GUY
