"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 Girl"



"We went to a shopping mall

And laughed at all the shoppers

And security guards trailed us to a record shop

We asked for Mojo Nixon

They said he don't work here

We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin"



"Punk rock girl

You look so wild

Punk rock girl

Let's have a child

We'll name her Minnie Pearl

Just you and me

Eat fudge banana swirl

Just you and me

We'll travel round the world

Just you and me

Punk rock girl"



Perhaps 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."

Still great stuff

"Mojo & Skid are the perfect mix of Weird Al, James Brown, The Blues Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and a free spirit that create a one of a kind sound."

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."
