David Weiss and Don ("
Don Was") Fagenson, from
Detroit, land of
Motown and the revolution-rock of the
MC5. Their original concept was punk-
dada disco music, but gradually became more
mainstream. Weird cameos: Mel Tormé, the MC5's Wayne Kramer,
Ozzy Osbourne, et al. "Knocked Down, Made Small" was like a
Supremes tune (
Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Stop! In the Name of Love", especially the chorus) rewritten on acid. Hit: "Walk the Dinosaur" - they had, by then, ditched the fun
psychedelic mindfuck foole-ishness, but it was nice to see them on
MTV.
