This store needs fixin - Perhaps the Dead Milkmen gave the best ever review of the oeuvres of Mr. Mojo Nixon when they immortalized his body of work in the also immortal referential work, 1988 s Punk Rock GirlWe went to a shopping mallAnd laughed at all the shoppersAnd security guards trailed us to a record shopWe asked for Mojo NixonThey said he don t work hereWe said if you don t got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixinPunk rock girlYou look so wildPunk rock girlLet s have a childWe ll name her Minnie PearlJust you and meEat fudge banana swirlJust you and meWe ll travel round the worldJust you and mePunk rock girlPerhaps this is too deeply personal, but yet when I was courting my wife, after establishing that she too was a believing and practicing Catholic, I played for her the above tune, and she asked for further information on Mojo Nixon. I played for her his work, and she laughed appropriately at Elvis is in Nutty Buddies. I then returned to the original theme of the evening s entertainment by playing her Bitchin Camero by the Milkmen.Needless to say, it was only our third date, yet these albums were placed on random repeat and obvious supplemental entertainment ensued.We now both enjoy our marriage and growing healthy happy family that favors a lack of pretentiousness and a refined appreciation for low-rent irony. We have the work of Mr. Mojo Nixon to thank for much of that attitude. You would do well to acquire the same mojo by purchasing and listening to this excellent album.
What happened to my Lincoln Logs? - This CD features Mojo Nixon s best known song, the classic Elvis is Everywhere. Other then that, there are a lot of other goofy rockabilly songs here. Most of them are fun, although Mojo does have a rather juvenile sense of humor. Two songs are sung by Mojo s partner, Skid Roper, and they are fun, too. If you like silly, goofy rockabilly, you will dig this album.
