I was not a punk in the sense it was recognized amongst folks. Thank god. I was not a "German punk".
On my last day of school I woke up in a terrible shit haze, couldn't remember a single thing that happened the night before. We had this thing at our school that on the last day of school a band consisting of pupes from the graduating year plays some tunes in the schoolyard. You had some silly shit like games (drinking games without alcohol? something like that) and some sort of "stand-ups" too. The repertoire of the bands following each other year after year was mostly the ueber-reg alternative pap of the early-mid 90s. It seemed like it didn't change at all during my stint at the Gymnasium - 9 years. We screwed this and ignored all track requests by our classes. I remember we played the Melvins which then was conceived by yours truly as thee perfect band. Awesome.
So, I was totally trashed, like, barely alive at all. I woke up in some corner of the school gym, went outside and the sunlight almost made me puke. Fittingly I was about to perform a vocal act with my folks backing me which consisted of the DKs "Too Drunk To Fuck" (I most definitely was) to these adorable children and their teachers. The lyrics we distributed to the front rows of 11- to 13-year olds on big cards, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" style. A Deutschpunk-cum-hippie buddy of mine did that for me as I was busy doing jerk off motions and thrashing equipment (swallowing the mike, trying to do it harm). This happened after I called ALL OF 'EM a bunch of little whores. I said "little" which is pretty neat, I think.
Everybody loved the experience theys got (the teachers showed this by burying their faces in their hands), so, they made me do it a second time as the finale, the definitive good-bye - mine was the last word spoken here. I thought it was gay but well, I "had to" (yeah, right). Told the little fucks to suck my dick which was met with a roar of appreciation and spit the song out a second time accompanied by more jerk off motions and swallowing in order to do the mike harm. Good times.
I think I since listened to the song twice. I always shut it off when I hear it. The original just doesn't live up to my life at that moment. Well, actually I never listen to the DKs.
