Song reputedly released by the
Bloom County band
Deathtöngue, written by
Steve Dallas. Contained the following lyrics: "Middle of the road, man it stanks,/Let's run over Lionel Ritchie with a tank." Unfortunately, this song precluded the establishment of a record deal with "Clive" of
CBS Records, who invited Dallas and
Bill the Cat to "slam the door on [their] way out."
