45prm singles on vinyl

17 June 2025

Band: DEAD KENNEDYS
Who: Infamous punk dropouts from San Francisco,
fronted by loudmouthed frontman Jello Biafra
Active: 1978–1986, 2001–present

Single: TOO DRUNK TO FUCK
Their 4th one, released in May 1981.
More than 27 million streams
on Spotify.

The song features satirical lyrics by Biafra that paint a trenchant picture
of an outrageous, moronic party, set to a heavy surf rock/garage rock riff
by guitarist East Bay Ray.

It got to #36 in the UK Singles Chart, although it was not stocked in some record
shops because of its provocative title. It was the first UK Top 40 single to include
the word ‘fuck‘ in its title. It was banned from Radio 1 airplay by the BBC.
