Educational rock songs about internal disorders and other important matters.

Review from The Nashville Scene - Our Critics Picks - November 2006
If you’ve ever wondered what “Folsom Prison Blues” would sound like sung by Cookie Monster, wonder no more. Like Weird Al Yankovic on a nitrous spree, Houston’s Organ Failure give voice to just these sorts of delirious scenarios, while indulging every waggish whim that orbits in their demented minds. But the band’s covers are far more outré than Weird Al’s literal rip-offs—take their avant-folk approach on “Rock the Casbah.” And they play mostly originals, such as the damaged hip-hop come-on “What We Really Want to Do,” which sounds like an Odelay session hijacked by 13-year-old delinquents. What makes it work is Olivia “Poopy Lungstuffing” Dvorak, whose high-pitched banter at times sounds like one of Bart Simpson’s misfit friends. Organ Failure are the house band at Super Happy Fun Land, a Houston venue for experimental art and music. —JACK SILVERMAN
