"The Mummies rocked!! I used to have a few of their 45s, too. I loved the ambulance they used as a tour van. Never got to see them, I'd moved back Easdt before I heard of them."
My friend lived next door to them for a while. He said they were loud motherfuckers. He knew for certain it was the Mummies because their ambulance was always parked outside.
Their stuff was finally compiled onto two CDs. "Death By Unga Bunga" and "Never Been Caught". It's funny, too, because I'm sure you recall, their 45s always had the words "Fuck CDs" printed on the jackets. Well, on Death by Unga Bunga, it has "Fuck Vinyl. Ha ha ha." on the back of the jewel case.
The only downside to the two CDs is that they don't have the Devo covers that they do on them, "Girl U Want" and "Uncontrollable Urge". Which sucks, because those were awesome covers. Fortunately, I have it on vinyl.
The good news is that Death by Unga Bunga has a great cover of Zip a Dee Doo Dah. Oh my god, it's fucking amazing.
There were some great bands in the 90s. I remember I found out about the Mummies around the same time I discovered The Monomen, Jaws (saw them play live, amazing), Man or Astroman, and New Bomb Turks.
