King Missile is an avant-garde band that has been led in various incarnations by poet/singer John S. Hall since 1986. The group is probably best known for the 1993 alternative music radio hit Detachable Penis. They achieved a cult following earlier with the song “Jesus Was Way Cool”. They were an anchor band for the indie label Shimmy Disc. Now known as King Missile III (pronounced “the third”), the group released its ninth album, Royal Lunch, in 2004.

Actually, said the stick, my natural instinct as a stick is to beat you to a pulp. That is one of the things that I, as a stick, like to do.

Whatever happened to revolution for the hell of it? Whatever happened to protesting nothing in particular, just protesting cause it's Saturday and there's nothing else to do?

Sometimes on the subway he felt like a little bunny rabbit with a cute little bunny nose and long floppy ears and a brand new submachine gun and a big bushy tail because the little bunny wanted to kill everyone.
