Coho Lip Blues

Coho Lip Blues is the B-side to Do You Think I’m Disco. It is performed by Steve Dahl and Teenage Radiation and was released as a vinyl 45 in 1979.

If you listen closely, you can hear the crackle of the vinyl record. I love that sound.

Here are the lyrics:

Coho Lip Blues

(spoken)
Yea, this is a little somethin’ that we call the Insane Coho Lip Blues.
The Insane Coho Lips, of course, is the anti-disco army dedicated to the eradication of Disco Dystrophy in our lifetime.
It’s the killer of, well, people of all ages and we want to make sure that we get rid of it.
This is how we do it…

(sung)
Now Coho Lips hate disco,
The way your Mom hates rock ‘n roll.
We love to take discos over,
The way midgets love to bowl.

We don’t like Pina Coladas,
We don’t wear white 3-piece suits,
We don’t blow dry our hair until it’s fallin’ out by the roots.
‘Cuz we are Coho, Coho
Insane Coho Lips!

It started in Chicago.
And the word has really spread.
But we won’t rest until we know that disco’s really dead.

We’ll sabotage all their dance floors,
With disco dance floor mines.
And start a whole new dance step,
That sends their bodies flyin’.
‘Cuz we are Coho, Coho
Insane Coho Lips!

Ahh, yea!
(Roman solo)
Insane Coho Lips

So if you’re into disco,
Of the Coho Lips beware.
The next time you’re on the dance floor,
We’ll put fish sticks in your hair.

We don’t mean to get so violent,
You bubonic disco rat.
But Donna Summer makes us sick,
And that my friend is that.
‘Cuz we are Coho, Coho
Insane Coho Lips!

The moral of the story,
And listen very carefully please.
A case of Disco Dystrophy,
Is worse than a social disease.

Cast off all your gold jewelry,
Your wrap-around disco dresses, too.
If we catch you listenin’ to the Bee Gee’s again,
We’ll break your legs in two.
‘Cuz we bes’ Coho, Coho
Insane Coho Lips!
Coho

Enjoy!!


Coho! Coho! Coho!

We did a post back in January from Feb. 15, ’82 where Steve talked about the lyrics to his new song which turned out to be Crew Cut Hero. This is the song. It is about General James Lee Dozier who was kidnapped by an Italian Terrorist group in December 1981 and was held for 42 days. It is a parody of Juke Box Hero by Foreigner.
