Their lyrics range from silly to serious, like in \u201cA Dumb Guy in A Stupid Band&#8221;, they sing, \u201cI can\u2019t get a job, I find a girl who I practically rob, She thinks I\u2019m cool cuz i\u2019m in a band, But I\u2019m just loser with no friends.\u201d Then there is the more serious \u201cMom\u201d. \u201cYou sold your soul, so I could eat, you blocked the dark, so I could read. I\u2019m really feeling bad, you\u2019ve been my mom and dad.\u201d While there is a song titled, \u201cI Sing Like a Girl\u201d (is that supposed to be a put-down?), that\u2019s not really the case. \u201cShameless Self Promotion\u201d is an addictive, thick, punk-pop album, but beware, the songs stick in your head like that road-kill on my tires.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sloppy Meateaters &#8220;Shameless Self Promotion&#8221; (Orange Peal Records, Inc.)
