** Similarly, "The Lambrusco Kid" is about a man's decline into Lambrusco-fueled alcoholism.

The Toy Dolls are a punk band, formed in 1979, around the core of extremely talented guitarist Michael "Olga" Algar, in Sunderland, England. The band quickly became a mainstay of "punk pathetique", combining the raw energy of the punk scene with the aesthetics and content of the burgeoning "alternative comedy"-movement. The end result was a fast-paced, frantic, high-energy silliness which found a lot of favor with punks.
As of 2019, the Toy Dolls were still touring, spreading their unique brand of high-energy comedy to the world.
