...and the image found within (NSFW) Frankenchrist is the third album by Dead Kennedys, released in 1985. It's infamous for causing an obscenity trial over a poster contained within the original release note A design called "Penis Landscape" by H. R. Giger that the band eventually won, but nearly caused their bankruptcy. |

Uncommon Time: Part of the chorus of "MTV - Get Off the Air" is in 5/4. Because of the shouted nature of the chorus and the underlying percussion, the effect of this section is roughly the musical equivalent of a boot to the head. |

Shout-Out: "This Could Be Anywhere" references Kojak. "Goons Of Hazzard" is a Pun-Based Title, referencing The Dukes of Hazzard. Likely also to be a Take That!. "A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch" references Elvis Presley. In "MTV Get Off The Air" the shows' presenters are said to be "latest rejects from The Muppet Show" who have "turned rock and roll rebellion into Pat Boone sedation, making sure nothing's left to the imagination". "Stars and Stripes of Corruption" has a line about "fiddling while Rome burns at home", which is a reference to Roman Emperor Nero. The same song also references "The American International Pictures logo" (Jello's description of the Capitol dome), "Archie Bunker slobs waving flags" and "just put Rambo inside your pants". The phrase "evil empire" references Ronald Reagan's infamous infantile description of the USSR in 1983. Deliberately invoked with Jello Biafra's cameo in Tapeheads. He plays an FBI agent arresting the main characters on obscenity charges, an ironic Casting Gag given a famous obscenity trial involving the artwork to the Dead Kennedys' Frankenchrist. ...And then he gets the line "Remember what we did to Jello Biafra?". |

Lyrical Dissonance: Jello sings "I'm working at my job; I'm so happy" in a completely monotone, emotionless voice. |
