Barnes & Barnes - Cemetery girls

Bill Mumy and Rob Haimer formed Barnes & Barnes in the early 1970s. It was another gimmick in the "novelty" genre, which in their case tended to perverse Zappa-style satire.

Voobaha (Rhino, 1980 - Oglio, 1996) is a continuous defense of crime, but perpetrated with the most psychotic and demented spirit, between the horrid Boogie Woogie Amputee with garage-surf organ, the enthralling anthem rock'n 'roll of alienation Pumped Out Blues, the parody of the gospel-soul of the fifties Party In My Pants, the nursery rhyme for children Clip Clop, worthy of the most stupid gags of Zappa, the chorus from the cartoon soundtrack Fish Heads, a parisian street song with a fatalist accordion (Gumby Jaws Lament), a vaudeville chant with a murderous lyrics (I Hope She Dies) and a ridiculous and excited blues (Sewey Hole).

The demented single Soak It Up (1983) held attention. When it finally came out, Amazing Adult Fantasy (Rhino, 1984) turned out to be their most commercial album (with the pseudo-hit I Don't Remember Tomorrow and Don't You Wanna Go To The Moon ").
