BMTV: Bizarre Music Televsion video with Josh Schreider for Rhino Records
VIEWER COMMENT: "his old gem is actually quite fun,from the days when music videos were also fun.I bought it for the Commander Cody video of "Two Triple Cheese"too, but found a slew of other classics . How much more fun can you have when you get.. "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun"? Julie Brown is always hilarious. And Kip Adotta ,remember "Life in the Slaw Lane"? well that's here too !! and Fish Heads !!!"
