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.

Hop With The Jet Set Lyrics
Dead Kennedys
I say, come on!
To pleasures unknown
Where we fly to when we are all bored
Cmon for the ride
And hop with the jet set tonight
Well sun ourselves red down in montego bay
Hotel-hired guards keep the natives away
We wanna save the whales
Well go watch them feed,
Buzz around them in boats
til they wont breed
Just here for the ride
Then we hop with the jet set tonight
Check out them indians ancestral art
Some of that would look cute up on our walls
Yeah, suit it just fine
When you hop with the jet set tonight
Well hire out some poachers to go steel their dolls
Who cares if theyre sacredthey look awful cute
National geographic found a stone age tribe
Lets feed them their first hot dogs on film
Wont that be a prize
To show the jet set tonight
Arent they cute, arent they pure
Muse subscribers back home
Next weekend the junta exterminates them
Back home by the sea at our outdoor cafe
Our chameleon tongues catch the flies in the air
