Dead Kennedys - Night Of The Living Rednecks Lyrics
Ray's guitar broke. No, we won't play Rawhide, won't play anything.
We'll play the theme from the Dinah Shore show.
Who wants to be Dinah Shore? Who's alter-ego is Dinah Shore?
Oh, his fists didn't go up so quickly this time. Yawn...yawn..yawn.
Put those headphones on, it's be-bop time.
I want to tell you a story about the last time I was in Portland.
The night before we played at the Long Goodbye.
I was walking on the street about 10:30 at night.
A lot of people go to bed around here at 10:30 at night.
And well, I was walking along when suddenly these jocks in this
bright blue pickup drove up. It had KC lights, tractor tires,
everything but the CB. It was a life-size Hot Wheels car for some dumb rich kid,
right. Well, they drove up to me
and they yelled what dumb rich kids usually yell, "Hey, faggot,"
and showered me with some water.
Now, I waited, walked down about a block to
where the Kentucky Fried Chicken is, on Burnside,
and sure enough they drove around again.
They said, "Hey, faggot, where's the nearest McDonald's?" I said,
"I don't know" and they squirted me again.
So I threw the rock and put a nice-size dent in their giant Hot Wheels car.
They screached to a halt in the parking lot of some department store,
who's name I don't remember, it's up the street from Fred Meyer,
and they got out their clubs and they ran after me, yelling,
"We're gonna kill you, you god damn faggot, we're gonna kill you,
you motherfucker."
So I got in a phonebooth by the Kentucky Fried Chicken on Burnside,
held my legs straight out like this so they couldn't open the door
to the phonebooth. So they began charging the phonebooth,
beating on it with their club, yelling,
"We're gonna kill you, you motherfucker, we're gonna kill you,
you god damn faggot." I just looked at them.
So, there was a crowd gathering by this time
and these kids were standing nearby and they said,
"Oh, look at him, he's insane." I thought, ah-hah, here's my way out.
I yelled at them, "Take me to a mental hospital right away.
I wanna be be put away.
Please put me away, c'mon, call the cops and put me away.
Please put me away now."
They said, "Alright, faggot, we're calling the police." So they called the police.
The cop comes out and I go, ah, my savior, I'm away from these jocks.
He opens up the door, "Get out of there, you,"
throws me up against the car, frisks me, shoves me in the back.
Then he goes over to the jocks, "Now what happened here?
It looks like we're going have to take him to jail
but we got to have the full story first"
So the jocks, who had an ace in the hole, ace in the hole
Take down on the bass, a little bit down on the bass. Yeah,
ace in the hole, and they go, "Well, goddammit,
the motherfucker put a dent in my truck, a $5000 truck, right,
so I got my club, I went out and I wanted to kill him.
I want to kill him. Let me kill him, goddammit.
Let me kill him."
So the cop made them go home, and he drove me home,
and he confiscated their club and my rock as further evidence.
And I thought, so this is Oregon, huh? Tolerent Oregon?
Ray, are you done with your guitar yet? He isn't done yet.
So what else do you want to hear, I'm out of stories.
That's a true story, too. Just ask Bruce Loose.

Is there live footage of Pull My Strings??
I hope one of the jocks watches this and realises he got owned by the great Jello Biafra.
My favourite bit it the cop sends the Jocks home then drives Jello home and conviscates his rock😊.
It's been 40 years give Jello his rock back!
We need to start something, #givejellohisrockback and we need to start an entire drama and probably end up spending 10 million infinity trillion dollars trying to find that rock even though we'll probably never find it.
He really doesn't fit that voice lol
He's such a cutie pie, love Jello, he's so insightful and entertaining. I was born in 1980 so I didn't get to experience shows like this.
As an 11-year-old girl who had a really long day at middle school, this is amazing. My mom better not hear me laughing and eating animal crackers.
So you're let loose online as an 11-year-old... What the heck? What are you doing here? Your parents are pretty irresponsible, by the way. Please tell them that some random person online said that about them. I want them to know.
Just leave, OK?
My parents let me go on the internet because they know I can handle it. Although, unfortunately, there's some nasty stuff online, there's also great stuff I really enjoy, like this video here. I love Dead Kennedys, is that bad? This'll sound dumb and immature because of my young age and everything, but it seems like you just responded to my comment because you have a pretty strict opinion and possibly total disregard for the fact that responsibility really has no age. Also, real sorry, not trying to be rude or anything, but I'm pretty sure you liked your own comment. You should probably lower your expectations for people on YouTube these days. Have a good one, 'ElectricMuzak'.
We should throw up a statue of this event where it happened
Jelly is a compulsive liar and a pedo.
LOVE! Vintage! Play Rawhide! Good times!
This tune has video material? What the fuck.
"SO I THREEEEEEEW THE ROCK!!!"
and put a nice sized dent in their giant hot wheels car
Thank you so much for posting this!
how did I get here
Oregon is not SF! Working class town and we hate you Cali rich fucks with anarchy patches bought at malls
Just ask Bruce Loose LOL
Even in 2018 it's a "ace in the hole"!
That's Ted on drums
Pretty cool that there's actual footage of this
Ray's guitar broke....
i didnt know there was more to this song
I downloaded this off of lime wire when I was in high school thinking it was a song. I would listen too it all the time on the bus I loved it hahaha
don't phone booth doors open on the outside?
It's a two piece hinged sliding door. When you slide it open, the two pieces go inward toward the center of the booth. He said he put his back against the opposite side and put his foot up against the hinge so it couldn't be moved inward.
GOD DAMNIT RAY HURRY THE FUCK UP!!!
Tolerance ♥
"oh high school rivalry time!!...a wide range of interests I can tell!" hahahahahaha jello was such a shit!
Is it just me or does E.R.B. (J. Biafra) sound a hell lot like Norm MacDonald here?
This "song" has been a staple with my crew since the early 90's. At a recent party we got all nostalgic and started doing YouTube requests and this video reared its magical head. Had NO idea there was video to this. There IS a god. Amazing! Fred Meyer!!!!
For a moment I thought you meant you performed this live with a band
@gonzalo Yeah me too!
FRED MEYER!
Happy Guy
still cracks me up
so... cool!
Holy mother of living fuck I can't believe there's actual video to this. I've known the audio to this for several of twenty years, and now here I am seeing it. Crap hole wow no way.
Same same. Here's totally blown away
Exactly what I said when I found this. Amazing!
Ray's guitar broke.
I bet it was the high E.
this is actually amazing. Thank you so much for posting. I can't believe there's live footage of this!
a year later.. i find it! lol
Thank you for preserving this. You rock.

So according to someone on a pupular website, this happened around Burnside and NW 21st by the Taco Bell.
That pay phone should be int the Smithsonian museum.
Nearest Fred Meyers is on Hawthorne or around 62nd
All that's left is a 4 inch mound of moss covered concrete with 4 bolts sticking out of it.
@4 q There's a Fred Meyer on Burnside and 20th. It literally takes up the entire block almost across the street from Providence Park.
@4 q Obvious troll is obvious.
This is awesome! I live in Oregon, so whenever I drive to Portland I always have to go to where this whole thing happened!
Tried to google map the incident. I think I was close!!!!!!!
Just realised this is the gig from an album I bought in the 80s. Splendid stuff.
