This last week or so I've been listening to a lot of pop punk songs with a sci fi theme. Stuff from the likes of The Lillingtons, Screeching Weasel, Groovie Ghoulies, The Riverdales, Mean Jeans etc but one of the best of the lot is a song about killer insects by Paducah, Kentucky's Parasite Diet.
The band are comprised of the improbably named Josey Juice (guitar/vocals), Technicolor Kid (drums/vocals), Padlock (bass/vocals), PC the Lost Plutonian (guitar/vocals) and Sammy Solar (guitar/keys/vocals). Announcing themselves in 2009 with an ep called God Hates Parasite Diet (which featured a version of OMD's Enola Gay), they play an upbeat, energetic brand of pop punk that owes a debt to The Ramones, Queers etc.
Feb 2015 saw their latest release, an ep entitled This Is My Hat Now but the song I'm featuring today was on 2014's, Eccentric Pop Records release, Lost In Time. You can check out their music here : http://parasitediet.bandcamp.com/.
This is Night Of The Bugs.......
There's no hope for anyone alive
the giant bees have built their giant hives
and China doesn't stand a chance
against these 20 story ants
and France is overrun with mammoth slugs
Night of the bugs
they're multiplying
bugs
mosquitoes, flies and slugs
it's the end of the age of the man
Rolly polly boulders rolling out
with fleas the size of mattresses about
please call on Master Terminix
and plead that he come cast some hex
insecticide inside hot metal slugs
Night of the bugs
please call on Master Terminix
and plead that he come cast some hex
insecticide inside nuclear hugs
Night of the bugs
