Parasite Diet - Night Of The Bugs

  This last week or so I've been listening to a lot of pop punk songs with a sci fi theme. Stuff from the likes of The Lillingtons, Screeching Weasel, Groovie Ghoulies, The Riverdales, Mean Jeans etc but one of the best of the lot is a song about killer insects by Paducah, Kentucky's Parasite Diet.

  The band are comprised of the improbably named Josey Juice (guitar/vocals), Technicolor Kid (drums/vocals), Padlock (bass/vocals), PC the Lost Plutonian (guitar/vocals) and Sammy Solar (guitar/keys/vocals). Announcing themselves in 2009 with an ep called God Hates Parasite Diet (which featured a version of OMD's Enola Gay), they play an upbeat, energetic brand of pop punk that owes a debt to The Ramones, Queers etc.

  Feb 2015 saw their latest release, an ep entitled This Is My Hat Now but the song I'm featuring today was on 2014's, Eccentric Pop Records release, Lost In Time. You can check out their music here : http://parasitediet.bandcamp.com/.

  This is Night Of The Bugs.......


There's no hope for anyone alive
 
the giant bees have built their giant hives
 
and China doesn't stand a chance
 
against these 20 story ants
 
and France is overrun with mammoth slugs 

Night of the bugs
 
they're multiplying
 
bugs
 
mosquitoes, flies and slugs
 
it's the end of the age of the man 

Rolly polly boulders rolling out
 
with fleas the size of mattresses about
 
please call on Master Terminix
 
and plead that he come cast some hex
 
insecticide inside hot metal slugs 

Night of the bugs 

please call on Master Terminix
 
and plead that he come cast some hex
 
insecticide inside nuclear hugs 

Night of the bugs
