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.

The Man With The Dogs Lyrics
Dead Kennedys
I am no one
But Im well known
For I am the man with the dogs
I stare at you shopping
Watch while youre walking
Two dogs run around your toes
You turn around
Two eyes break you down
Now, who does that guy think hes starin at?
Stop in your tracks
Youre being laughed at
You armored ego is nude
And I do and I do
Crack up cos Im getting to you
I see you I see you
And youre pretty self-conscious too
Down to your church
Im looking for victims
Spell of the man with the dogs
Ill haunt you
And follow you to work
That ghost is back again
Creep into you
I wont go away
Youre taking yourself too seriously
I smile as you frown
And turn to walk away
Your habits for all to see
I see a shrew
I see you
And the rodent things you do
You see you I see you
And youre pretty self-conscious too
And Im gonna crack your mask
Yeah and Im gonna laugh
Open wide.
Saw you again
Youll see me tomorrow
Curse of the man with the dogs
You may not like me
You wont forget me
Not safe even in walgreens
Theyve seen me
Ask your friends
oh I know him
Seen but Im never heard
By your lot
A stare
Is worth a thousand biting phrases
See how stupid you are?
I dare you I dare you
To erase my laser tattoo
You see you you see you
And youre pretty self-conscious too
And Im gonna crack your mask
Yeah, and Im gonna laugh
Whats inside?
Is it pubic hair
Is it cobweb air
I bet you just dont care
