I don't know how many people have ever heard of, let alone heard the Dead Milkmen. They weren't a spectacular band, but they were damn good, and there will never be another band like them

sorry to hear that. I have heard "Taking Retards to the Zoo" i believe that was one of their songs right.

That's terrible. The Dead were great!
Sing it with me:
"I don't wanna live on a beach! No!!"
Goodbye, milkman. Say hi to Beelzebubba for me.

Was just thinking of that song this morning.........must be some kind of cosmic thing.
"one eyed, left handed, albino, eskimo girl, she bit me!"
sad news indeed.
"fish heads fish heads"

No, Cosmic Thing was the B52's...
Big Lizard was the Dead Milkmen.
It's a drag, they were cool.
They taught me that "Doctors and Lawyers and Bankers and Priests are controlled by UFOs!"
The Milkmen were AWESOME... 
R.I.P.
Let's have sex with pit bulls, maybe pollute their blood line...
Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! Everyone knows a burrow owl lives in a hole, in the ground! Why the hell do ya think they call it a burrow owl, anyway!?!
I asked for Mojo Nixon, they said "he don't work here."
Genius.

I saw them live a few times, Partied with them once in Asbury Park, NJ at a show my buddy's band opened for them.
Great Guys, Fun Times.
I'm sad

This is really sad. The Milkmen were one of my favorites as a kid.
All the punks are crying today.
Cheers,

They were a fun band when I was a kid...Beach Party Vietnam always stuck in my head for some reason. They said he had severe tendenitous that stopped him from playing and he never found anything else in his life to fill that void. It goes to show how much this means to some people out there.....RIP 
Very sad. IMO - The Dead Milkmen were one of the best acts in alternative music, back when there was alternative music. Back in high school my car was known as The Bitchin Camero by most of my friends (even though it wasn't a Camero
) ...and I think Punk Rock Girl should be required listening for every kid caught with a Blink 182 album (give them a fighting chance at knowing what punk is...)Great band. ...and a bassist - one of our own. Sad. R.I.P.
