Okay - this is the most ridiculous, silly, demented, weird, hilarious, stupid, side-splitting, thing I've ever heard. You were certainly fascinated with bodily sounds. Unbelieveable! Hahahahahaha!

Wonderful! I have laughed and laughed while listening to every song. Mix comedy, tunes and disregard for the norm and you get the works on this cd. It is great!

This one is hard to believe
author: Allen Barry
I listen to all kinds of music but this one may be a first. I've never heard anything that could combine clever songs with an in-your-face attitude a la folk. Mary Jo Kopechne was almost like a news story, Journey To Dallas is a classic tale of the road, Russia is a parody of the crazy anti-USSR effort in those days, Telephone Pole Song is a satire of Husband vs. Wife battles, Backdoor Baby is heavy metal and describes a porno movie - amazing stuff. But that was only the beginning; everything from liner notes to background to acknowledgements to an image on the back cover that said, "Danger: Uranus" is as funny as the music itself. Somehow it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz when those weird characters sing, "A brain, a heart, da noive" - I think this CD is packed with it.

Phearlessly phoul brand of pholk

Greatest Sh!ts! is 27 years worth of twisted tracks by a notorious Folk/Joke band... a truly scattered collection of songs that few would dispute as lewd, juvenile, and outright repulsive. But depending on your sense of humor they could also qualify as irreverently clever, musically ambitious, and very funny. There's also an articulation of a simmering anger - disenfranchised socio-political outrage. As Jensen says, it can be encapsulated by Peter Finch's performance in the 1976 film Network, and his impassioned plea to the world, I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore! That handily plays into the bands big payoff... merely the reaction of the audience. They say it best with Pullin' Down The Pants Of Life.
