White Label Wednesday: Screaming Blue Messiahs, “I Wanna Be a Flintstone”

I will not pretend to know more about the Screaming Blue Messiahs than I actually do. All I know is that their singer was bald and the people who liked this band fucking loved them. Take a look at what their first two albums for Elektra are going for on Amazon. Yowza.

As for this, their big “hit,” well, it’s “Walk Like an Egyptian” peppered with “Flintstones” dialogue. That’s it. Still, it’s pretty fun in a dance-around-the-house- with-your-kids kind of way. Yabba- dabba-doo time, kids. Dig in.

  • This band has a rabid following because their work was so much more than this track. This is what happens when labels get involved and sadly this song may have spelled their demise. Oddly enough, I posted a tribute to the band on my blog exactly one week before your post. The video on the post will give you a much better idea of what they were about. Their BBC sessions were just released yesterday. They are worth checking out.
