Songs

edit

"I Wanna Do It With a Donna" is a song about stalking the all-female band The Donnas, a deliberate parody of The Androids' 2002 #4 Australian hit "Do It with Madonna". The track features guest vocals from Melbourne all-female band The Spazzys. AllMusic's Stewart Mason reviewed the album and opined that it was "the group's most gleefully tasteless release yet, combining dead-on potshots at the mainstream punk scene (the almost Dickies-like 'IWannaDoItWithADonna'...)".[1] An Encyclopedia Metallum reviewer felt that it was one of "the occasional more accessible songs which are more concerned with having a coherent tune to the guitars instead of rampant tremolo".[2] Blistering's Justin Donnelly noticed that "The second single from the album comes in ‘IWannaDoItWithADonna’. With backing vocal help from The Spazzys, there’s plenty of potential chart wise on offer here."[3]

The song on the flipside is a cover of the Turbonegro song "Midnight NAMBLA". It was re-released in 2017 on the band's farewell release, a rarities compilation entitled All the Remains.
