CD art works, especially when your CD has no cover. I admit it. I fell for it. This is a four-track EP. “Pink Flamingoes” leads off. It is just serious enough that it can’t be silly, and it is just silly enough that it can’t be serious. I am completely missing the point of this song.
Why should it be silly, you ask? Because the CD is lime green, and there are caricatures of George W. Bush and Barack Obama (in a Superman outfit, no less) on it. “Tooth Decay” and “Delectable” are quite forgettable.
The only saving grace is the cover of “Tainted Love.” After hearing the first three tracks, it makes this sound passable.
Clever art gets your foot in the door, but when you’re selling home abortion kits to the Mormons, 20% more than zero is still zero.
