Trawling around You Tube and found some Fishbone reference. I liked them int he early nineties and watching the videos back now realised they were all shot in NYC, at the time I owuld have no idea. Then listening to them reminded me of another band who I couldn't remember the name of. They had a novelty hit in Australia around '91 but for the life of me couldn't remember the song or band just what the front cover of the LP (yes I owned it on vinyl) looked like.
So off I went to Allmusic.com and looked up similar metal/funk/rap hybrid bands from that period and there they were listed as similar artists - Scatterbrain and the song "don;t Call Me a Dude". Of course it is on You Tube and the version is off of Rage, the music video programme on the ABC that I most probably saw them on. The song is till as funny as shit and the music rocks, though does sound straight out of 1991. Though you can hear the influence of Devil goes down to Georgia at the start.
The video itself is a classic as well. Check it out...
