In the song "Blackman, Blackman", Dennis quips, "a black man's heaven is a white man's hell". The songs are sung from the point of view of both African Americans and white Americans, and the lyrics are equally serious as they are satirical. Unlike the sexually-charged and comedic material on It's Only Right and Natural and My Daughter the Broad, Racially Yours focuses on subjects such as American racism, genocide and patriotism. After much delay, it was released in 2000 on Four Alarm Records with an additional 13 tracks, and a tongue-in-cheek sticker proclaiming it "the most controversial album of all time". At this point the album only consisted of the first 12 songs. And when The Frogs brought their record label, Homestead, the uber politically incorrect Racially Yours (2000), the label refused to release it even though the album had sure fire hits like Darkmeat 4 Sale and Two Blacks Don’t Make A White. The album was originally presented to Homestead Records in 1991, but they refused to release it because of its controversial subject matter. I huddle in hugs Sparring is training bra, Ramses watching raining frogs. Racially Yours is an album recorded by the band The Frogs. Dance and rap to your hearts content with the love of your life battling for. This could be pretty offensive.if you are an idiot. In 2000, Four Alarm worked up the nerve to finally give Racially Yours an official release, and the Frogs ' first and final full-length album for Scratchie, Hopscotch Lollipop Sunday Surprise (once again produced in part by 'Johnny Goat') appeared in 2001, not long before the label became inactive. Racially Yours found them singing about ethnic tension - with one brother in blackface, the other in whiteface - in an attempt to shock members of both. Highlights include "Darkmeat 4 Sale" ("There's a fork around my neck/Forks are for food/It was only a joke/to lighten the mood"), "Massa" ("Massa Massa/I ain't your friend/I ain't your fool no more"), and "Whitefully Dead" ("Now that the white man's dead and gone/ we can sing a happy song"). The same geniuses that created the cult hit "Grandma Sitting in the Corner with a Penis in Her Hand Going No, No, No" turn their attentions to the history of racial tension in the United States.
No word on whether those ridiculous silver angel wings have survived the past 30 years in the closet.For those not yet familiar with the Frogs, this is a good place to begin. And the Evan Dando of Frogs contemporaries the Lemonheads has signed on to support Jimmy on drums for a week of February west coast live dates. With titles like “Swamp Broad” and “I Killed ‘Em White Guy” it seems the Flemions’ lyrical sophistication had already blossomed. 1st, an unreleased 1986 album predating their existing catalog, hits the streets on April 3. The fun seemed to end when Dennis Flemion drowned while swimming on a Wisconsin lake in 2012, but brother Jimmy has given the Frogs new legs. Inexplicably they won fans and opening slots from the likes of Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, but when they tried to dress in blackface for follow-up album Racially Yours even their champions flinched. The Frogs were one of the more curious footnotes of the late ’80s alt-rock scene – hetero brothers from Milwaukee who dressed like Elton John raiding a thrift store and who caused a mini-kerfuffle with It’s Only Right and Natural, a concept album touting gay supremacy.
