John Hall used to be a street performer / poet, but he eventually decided, to quote, "20 minutes of me reading poetry are boring", thus King Missile was born.

* ''{{Narm}}'': Quite a few songs, but "Detachable Penis" takes the cake; between deadpan delivery, the absurd lyrics and the female backing vocalists singing "Detachable Penis" over and over again.

* BarbieDollAnatomy: "Detachable Penis"

to:

* BarbieDollAnatomy: "Detachable Penis"Penis" is about a man who, well, has a detachable penis, which, despite the difficulties he sometime faces, rather enjoys having.
-->''This comes in handy a lot of the time.\\
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,\\
Or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.''\\
[...]\\
''People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,\\
But I don't know.\\
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,\\
I like having a detachable penis.''

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Creator/AtlanticRecords insisted on a placing a Parental Advisory warning label on their album ''Happy Hour'', which the band weren't happy with. According to John S. Hall, for their next album, ''[[SelfTitledAlbum King Missile]]'', they submitted a self-censored lyric sheet to the label, but kept the cursing in the recorded versions of songs, figuring no one at the label would actually listen to the music. The ploy apparently worked - despite probably having about as much objectionable content in it as ''Happy Hour'' did, the self-titled album had no such warning on the cover.
