The king in yellow dead milkmen

The Dead Milkmen reminded me of a more subversive, more adult version of Weird Al Yankovic. I was intrigued and as soon as he went out, I grabbed the album and played it straight veral times. Honestly, it still sticks out every time I flip through my records 25 years later.

I wasn't sure what to think at first, most of the rest of his albums were 'alternative' style music Violent Femmes, U2, REM (remember back when they were both alternative?) or heavy metal like Megadeth or Metallica.but this cartoony garish green and yellow cover didn't really seem to fit in with the rest.

My older brother, brought home a vinyl copy of Big Lizard in My Backyard.

I first encountered The Dead Milkmen when I was in sixth grade.
