Joe & the Chicken Heads - “Pest Control” Hey Brother, Can You Spare Some Ska? Volume 4 Song released in 1996. Compilation released in 1999. Ska Punk / Punk Rock 

90s punk rock, more than any subgenre and era of music, had a very outlandish, comedic side to it. Hip hop had Eminem’s Slim Shady persona, metal had GWAR, but punk rock, for whatever reason, had tons of bands that used playful or absurdist humor. blink-182 constantly referenced masturbation in their early days and had ridiculous music videos, NOFX had silly songs, and The Vandals had a song about being too embarrassed to tell people that your girlfriend dumped you, so you told them she died instead. The list goes on and on. But none of these bands are as zany as Joe & the Chicken Heads, now known as The Radioactive Chicken Heads.

Joe & the Chicken Heads were an idea formed by lead singer Carrot Topp (nothing to do with the prop comedian) when he was a kid writing comics. They were a group of mutant chickens and vegetables that escaped from a farm where horrific experimentation on chickens and vegetables were taking place. Inspired by acts like “Weird Al” Yankovic and GWAR, they eventually decided to form a band in Santa Ana, California. The band has developed a cult following for their over-the-top, bizarre shows where they use a mix of punk rock, ska, and metal to perform their absurd music. Band members always perform in costume, donning large, cartoonish masks and have never revealed their identities. You will rarely catch them giving a straight interview.

There are a number of rare demo tapes released by Joe & the Chicken Heads and two of them have iterations of “Pest Control” on them. The fourth volume of the Hey Brother, Can You Spare Some Ska? series put out by Vegas Records features the song, too. On their Bandcamp website, the band writes of “Pest Control”: “This song was written as revenge fantasy for childhood nightmares of Chuck E Cheese, a giant rodent who terrorizes children in darkened pizza palaces.” The band goes to the local Chuck E. Cheese to kill its mascot. With a bit of an outrageous contemporary swing and psychobilly feel to this song, Joe & the Chicken Heads use a fast blend of horns, scratchy and deep, metal guitar chords, a squealing keyboard organ, and punk rock-paced drums to paint this absurd tale of murder.

My description of the band doesn’t quite capture how absolutely absurd they are, so here’s a video of them on a 1998 episode of Game Show Network’s Gong Show relaunch in which they got gonged but didn’t hear it so they kept playing:

The band is still around. What a way to make a living.
