YMMV / The Dead Milkmen

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: The lyrics to "Punk Rock Girl" attribute "California Dreamin'" to The Beach Boys, which has been called an error made by either the band themselves or the characters in the song. However, while the original version was by The Mamas And The Papas, The Beach Boys actually did release a Cover Version of "California Dreamin'" as a single in 1986, just two years before "Punk Rock Girl" was released.
• Funny Moments: The first half of "Bitchin' Camaro" is a conversation between a couple of friends discussing their plans for the day. Then they get to the actual subject of the song:
  Guy 1: Now this is the part where you ask how we're getting down to The Shore.
  Guy 2: Uh, okay. How are we getting down to The Shore?
  Guy 1: Well, I'm glad you asked. I've got a car now.
  Guy 2: Oh cool! How'd you get a car?
  Guy 1: My parents drove it up from The Bahamas.
  Guy 2: You're kidding!
  Guy 1: Yeah, I must be. The Bahamas are islands.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In a sense. "Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance to Anything)" was a stab towards "pretentious" British alternative bands that were getting club airplay. A couple years later, the Dead Milkmen lands on Club MTV when "Punk Rock Girl" becomes a hit.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: There was some fan backlash upon the release of the album Soul Rotation, which was their first major label effort and the closest thing they had to a New Sound Album: There were far fewer overtly humorous songs than usual, Joe Jack Talcum sang the majority of the songs instead of Rodney Anonymous (who mainly plays keyboards on the album instead), and the album generally had more of a mellow "folk punk" sound to it. Nowadays the album has sort of been Vindicated by History within the fanbase.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Bucky Fellini in particular features a whole bunch of what were then topical references, from name-checking multiple '80s icons in "Instant Club Hit" and covering contemporary Daniel Johnston to plugging the punk rock bar Tacoland, which shuttered in 2005 (and was later bulldozed) when the owner was killed.
