Dead Kennedys - Drug Me Lyrics

Jello Biafra sounds like the singer from B52s. In fact, B52s are like proto punk.

People saying System were inspired, the song Shimmy definitely springs to mind

Whenever someone tells you that Chop suey by S.O.A.D is a hard song to sing just show them this song

I honestly don't know how a person could sing lyrics this God damn fast without getting stuck in a tongue twister. Like it's hard to even keep up with listening and reading the lyrics at the same time unless you've listened to this song multiple times. Speaking of drugs you'd think Jello would've had to be on that pharmaceutical speed he mentions in this song to do vocals this fast LOL. Definitely one of my favorite DK songs for sure though.

Sepultura did a great version of this 😛

There’s no way he actually fit 6 sentences into 4 seconds

smoke dead kennedys, listen to as much cannabis as possible before school

I was drugged by my ex girlfriend on the first date. I loved it.. 🙏

Paul Lebowski damn ok but if you enjoyed then its all good🏄🏾‍♂️

drug me with your fuck machines

I also like Sepulturas cover ..Rock on🤘

at the triffid 7/11 18 fuck yeah

dammit Jello what do you have against crossword puzzles?

Got to see that movie stoned

Majsbdnskansbsjwbei with my friends

I still clean my room with THIS Record!!!!

Hahahahaha

You must clean fast.

Hooooollllyyyy shit

I play it n Acoustic guitar, awesome :P

Fuckin love it :P

Try listening to this on 2x speed! Holy fucking Christ......... Hahaha

Punkadelic tune with clear Sonics influence or Wailers (Hang Up) but in a speed rythm. I fucking adore this damned old punk masterpiece !

we love u,z people

Awesome lyrics really dark and true

JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJA!!!!!

Still ahead of its time. Jello's voice is simply awesome.

It is what make it good...

That and the guitar and the unexpected keyboards

Beautiful lyrics

System of a down is heavily influenced by these guys

Its too bad that system of a down fucking blows.

@SwallowingSpiders to you maybe

laughing at how kids think 5SOS is punk

5sos is just pop rock
nothing punk

Sluttypotato15 Go listen to bikeage by descendents or walk away by face to face. Those are pop punk songs

Bridget Tucker FUCK POP! It aint even real music.

People in the replies here sure seem to forget that modern pop wouldn't have existed without punk. Because of punk we got post-punk,people added more melody to post punk and got new wave. New Wave popularized synths a lot and gave birth to synthpop which gave birth to modern post 80's pop. Punk went against prog rock not pop,punk hates the idea of a corporate music owner not pop itself. Besides there is some amazing pop and nobody says that you must hate pop if you listen to punk. You all are idiots if you think so. Also there are a lot of underground pop punk bands that have the ""real"" punk mentality

@Špincflajz Conversely, old school punk(what I listened to back in the late 70s & early 80s) owed a huge unacknowledged debt to the pop music of its time, sooo. Time is a flat circle. Everything that was, will be, & etc. Jello has spoken extensively on how pop music influenced them. They just wanted to turn that sound on its ear.

DRUGGGGGG    MEEEEEEE

the only way to be   CRASS...THE EXPLOITED...BERRURIER NOIR...SEX PISTOL...SUBHUMAN...

I think the sepultura cover is better...

It is not.

You're a cretin.

They are both awesome but the original is best.Like Symptom of the Universe.Rock on brothers🤘

I saw this band in the 80's. They had to stop the first song twice from stage diving injuries.

@z0ZzZ0z that's how you know it's a punk concert

this song is crazy

Fuck Yeah! Drug me Dead Kennedys is Fun when all is boring

Now I know where system of a down gets their influences!!

look up mr bungle. the picture will become clearer.

tibbztrillz HOLY SHIT YOURE RIGHT

Well, iirc, most of the members of System of a Down are of Turkish/Armenian descent, which would suggest they were introduced to the middle eastern style/scales (that you hear in this song and their work) through their upbringing.

@Kenny Carter Or the fact that SOAD were fans of punk and metal of this era.

Agreed, I can hear System of a Down in this entire album.

the keyboard bit is so sinister
im fascinated by california , nice weather, lots of wealth and glamour but a very dark undercurrant - all those freeway killers for example

Slayer was DEFINITELY influenced by the Dead Kennedys.

Slayer was influenced by a lot of punk bands.

Hanneman in particular was a big fan; he was sure to have a DK sticker on most of his performance ESPs post-2000. Possibly earlier, but to my knowledge, yeah, at LEAST Y2K... multiple concerts over the years. Pretty rad!

OBGD pelo comentário...se tentarem te drogar por isso, não aceite. Cada um pensa o que quiser.

The album undisputed attitude consists almost entirely of covers of punk songs

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is one of the best albums of all time!!

lol he should be an auctioneer

Ridiculously good lyrics - eg Chemical Warfare and Holiday in Cambodia.

I've tried this to no avail. Perhaps it's under my radar.

Jello might earn a living by narrating horse races.

werrwefjdfjasfusadfhushfuaf udfuahdu a you drug me..

yep, drug me... with pharmaceutical speed..!!

Lyrically, I think DK has to be my favorite punk band.

yep, drug me..!!!!

Read the lyrics as you listen to the song and you will see that he does say all of those words.

that was cool

with out DISCHARGE!!!! no extreme metal!!!

big time jazz!!!

DK,s not metal. There Punk.

Give Jello a break, he probably hadn't taken his organic soy-based speed that morning.

Love that bass solo.

Fuck, I can't sing this... jajaja.

Really? Wow... Thanks for the info man : )

Sounds like they were in a real hurry to get the fuck out of the studio : )

LOL 4 dislikes wow f*ck you 4

@yesweknowthedrill Ha I was walking down the street listening to this today and I was thinking the same...I love soad :)

@yesweknowthedrill yea they seem like they have a bit of a punk influence...

ahhh so THIS is where system of a down got their style from....crafty buggers

@SuperBspb
Just for the record, my first response to his comment was referring to the "but has meaning" part, not the fact that he was comparing this song to hip-hop. I understand that.

@ViciousMaximus
lolwut

Only Jello...

@iammrpope
You were being sarcastic when you said "it's like rap but means something"? How the hell is anyone supposed to know that, when no part of that statement is relevant to anything about this video, or the comments on it?

@iammrpope
I'm sure Jello Biafra wouldn't approve of such blatant and juvenile ignorance.

I dont think he is saying it fast enough...

fhgfkhgkfjhgk
jvhjfhghgivhtr
ghrouehgo
drug meeee

xaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa

you think thats fast?check out the singing on the first song off the album convicted by cryptic slaughter.

In 2004, rolling stone made a list of the 100 greatest artists of all time and the ram ones were at #26, the sex pistols at #58 and the stooges at #78nd

@seamac206 LOL you make no sense

The ramones are NOT BETTER THAN THE SEX PISTOLS and the stooges, ROLLING STONEthey are one of the most overrated artists of ALL time, like Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lil' Wayne

@seamac206 wow man i was just about to say how much soad sounds like this song

"Remember the time we went to see that movie stoned?"

@cacho29mx Mr. Bungle did a cover of it.

I don't think anyone could listen to this album and not immediately like this band. It happened to me.

WOAH!!!!!!!! IT SOUNDS LIKE HE IS SINGING IN CHINESE

This is where System of a Down gets their style

@XxPsychoxxCorexX
That's what she said.

@LARUCUS Jello is just a energetic guy. You can't really tell by looking at him now though...

i bet jello must have had 20 pots of coffee, 10 pounds of coke, and a shit load of adrenalin while making this tune!

@tyikiki101 6

I don't even think he says half of those words.

YES the antidrug sosietys and legalize cannabis

sepultura did a cover of this?? awesome!i gott hear that!

you likin the dead kennedys?
