The Meatmen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Meatmen were a Michigan, United States punk band headed by Tesco Vee from 1980 to 1997.
The Meatmen made fun of the hardcore punk scene of the time. The band was known for their stage antics, and for songs with colorful song titles such as "What's This Shit Called Love?", "I Sin For A Living", "1 Down, 3 To Go" (a reference to the murder of former Beatles member John Lennon), and the Suck Trilogy of "Crippled Children Suck," "French People Suck," and "Camel Jockeys Suck."
