Dead Kennedysformed in in 1978 when vocalist Jello Biafra(né Eric Boucher) and bassist Klaus Flourideresponded to a magazine ad placed by guitarist East Bay Ray. The three joined with drummer Tedand formed one of the most successful hardcore punkbands of the 80s. The band played hard and fast punk that matched the raw energy of the West-coast scene with twists such as Ray's surf-guitar influences and Jello's nasal machine-gun vocals and political fervor. They released their first single, "California Über Alles", in 1979 and first album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, in 1980 on Jello's own Alternative Tentacles record label. Fresh Fruitis considered a punk classic.

Do The Slag Lyrics
Dead Kennedys
Have you heard about the latest craze
Thats sweepin across the nation
All the punks from coast to coast
Have discovered an old invention:
Your hairs too long
Man, youre a queer
Youre too new wave
Put down that beer
And
Do the slaglook at em run
Do the slaghey you scum
Do the slagaint it fun
Do the slaglets all be dumb
Badmouth people we dont know
Make sure its behind their backs
Dont let new people in our scene
Its more fun than having a friend
Well slag everyone each and every night
So we can pretend that were all right
Make those pricks feel just so small
Well show the world that were three feet tall
Slander their integrity
Doubt their humanity
Talk about their haircuts
Are their politics correct?
Do the slag!
Dont let those sissies on the floor
Theyre unhip, man, they bought the wrong clothes
Lets all do the latest craze
cause having allies never pays
Well slag everyone each and every night
So we can pretend that were all right
Make those pricks feel just so small
Well show the world that were three feet tall
