Our Big Booger Bonanza must come to an end today. But we've saved one of the best for last. Ramones fans out there will recognize a kinder, gentler (in lyrics only) version of Beat On The Brat. The rockin' riffs are still there and the great, danceable tune hasn't been dumbed down or slowed down a bit.
All the grown ups know The Ramones were being sarcastic, or ironic or what have you...not condoning child abuse. But lest our punk kin offspring take the lyrics to heart as an instruction manual or a direct imperative....thank you, Boogers!
Punk parents the world over can breath easier and break out the bats again, without their brats belting out cringe inducing lyrics in school and in front of the Grandparents! Oh yeah. Oh yeah, oh, oh. (Still, no promises they won't head butt you, like the little dude on the left of the video below. Cause a punk is a punk, no matter how small.)
This is one of my favorites, and I've been belting it out to the littles already. Good advice from Mama is so much easier to swallow when it comes with a snarky punk beat! So, EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!!
We had too much fun at the Halloween Chic-A-Go-Go shoot yesterday with The Boogers and a bunch of fun bands. We'll have a full feature up soon.
For now, keeping with the theme, I have to retell a bad joke by The Boogers. "What's the difference between boogers and broccoli? Kids won't eat broccoli!" So, Kidlets, listen to The Boogers and Eat Your Vegetables. You'll be much more popular at school than if you eat boogers and listen to vegetables!
Oi! It's Otto the cat. And he's havin' an orange! orange! orange! day. This video is ChiIL Mama's #5 pick in a week of Boogers. You can take Otto home with you on Let's Go!, The Boogers new CD, due out in November.
Chicago area fams, don't forget, you can get your Halloween garb on (or not), and come on out to The filming of Chic-a-go-go today. See The Boogers and a number of other fun bands from 3-6pm. YOU too can be on CAN TV.
