    This took us over a year to negotiate and iron out but it's finally done. It wasn't cheap to acquire or make so we hope you appreciate it! After 3.5 albums on Kung Fu, The Ataris graduated to the big leagues and knocked it out of the park with with the radio hit Boys of Summer. The first one hundred people that order from us will receive a free Kung Fu era Ataris sticker. This release is identical to the original in terms of the number of tracks and artwork. It comes with a sweet ass paper insert.

about

From the album "Fear of a Punk Planet" Anniversary Edition. This song was written in 1990. Farrah didn't die until the day Michael Jackson died, years later. How did the Vandals know she would eventually die? Who knows but they really over estimated how much people would care.

lyrics

birds in the air
never chirped the same
slobs in bowling alleys
never burped the same
they came to cry
shocked with disbelief
a broken mass of millions
all drowning in their grief

she was just an innocent
how could you lord?
they cried the day
that farrah fawcett died

Throughout the globe
every chinese man and turk
their unifying symbol
they really liked her work
but who's to blame?
no one made a move
until i find out who did this
nobody leaves the room

they say the road was icy
but that just don't add up
a bushy-haired intruder
another government cover up!
a drug-related overdose
a hunting accident
death at the hands of another,
i'll bet!

first JFK
and then we lost the king
thank god it must be over now
they say they come in threes
but still i ache
the world has lost a friend
i'll trade all
of my viewmaster reels
to see her once again
