Used to *blast* these guys along with another band called Mordred and it was, "Dude, what are you listening to?" Always answered, "Two bands that are gonna blow all the way up!" Alas😢😢😢😢 Didn't get "big," but Scatterbrain's sense of humor and stone-cold killer talent has stood up to the test of time IMO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This song comes off as fun and goofy, but the lyrics are actually quite vicious, and very on point, even 30 years later. Also, I memorized the Betty Botter tongue twister because of this song.
Such a great band, they should have been huge. A pity that the subject of this song was so correct that they never could be massive like the cookie-cutter music label bands.artists.
There aren't many people who can say they saw these guys on the Here Comes Trouble tour twice....I can, on my birthday the first time too. Tommy was floating around the bar ahead of time, my friend ask him 'Are you gonna rock tonight' to which Tommy gave a very firm 'Nahhh!' I guess he'd also seen the Van Halen live video for Unchained a few too many times, because once on stage and wearing an identical glitter suit to David Lee Roth's one during that clip, he even mimicked Dave by drinking Jack Daniels from the bottle and repeatedly stating through the mic ''Look at all the people here tonight!' in a fake drunken stupor. For the next 50 minutes or so he would change his appearence, nun chicken etc...The band sound perfect live, so tight..They did 'Sweet Home Alabama' but kept playing it faster and faster until it was so stupidly fast I think Tommy just put his head in his hands ''Ok guys, I'm not good enough'. Mike Boyko didn't get enough spotlight and was complaining as always, and to think a drummer gets out in the back like that. And when they relleased Scamboogery I was devasted....Logic and Tastes Like Chicken are low passing grade tracks, the rest of the album a train wreck..... I think their 1st album deserves to be in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame for inovation, tightness and pertinence to solving the deep meanings of existence we frustratingly evolved apes need after developing through millions of years a brain stem capable of contemplating our very own lives. The second album is an overcomplicated mess, trying to enjoy it akin to having punch drunk sex in a music festival port-a-john that has been used so much it could be used to torture nuclear codes out of the President...oh...yeah...I'm sure smarter minds have intervened with that one but you get what I'm saying. There is a Live Performance audio of a Here Comes Trouble tour date on UA-cam, and it is crap quality recording but you can still hear how together this band was...so amazingly tight. Wow I wrote shitloads, time to go!
I sing along to dog food commercials too. I don't see the difference do you? A dog can lip sync too. Still quote that when I hear a song played over and over again that everyone supposedly loves.
I feel so stupid that i forgot about this band Been listening to ugly kid joe for years these guys imo are much better will be downloading these albums soon so i can blast in my truck

Saaaaame
I did too and still remember the Betty Booter part to this day.
I have all their Albums... I miss them. Time to make a comeback!
I believe they're going to release their unreleased 3rd album hopefully sometime next year!

Definitely the best band very few know about.
