Killer Klowns from Outer Space (album)

1

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is an EP by the American punk rock band The Dickies. It was released in 1988 by Enigma Records. It contains the song "Killer Klowns", the title song of the 1988 film Killer Klowns from Outer Space. South Californian artist Shag designed and executed the album cover artwork, the first of various collaborations with The Dickies.

Critical Reception

Trouser Press wrote that "included on this fun (if less than inspired) release is a gimmicky remake of Jet Screamer’s Jetsons rockabilly classic 'Eep Opp Ork (Uh, Uh),' one more item in the Dickies’ ever-expanding catalog of daffy covers."

Music Video

The video for "Killer Klowns" features the band performing in a penitentiary, with guards and inmates for an audience. Various clips from the movie are shown; Phillips and his bandmates interact with several of these. Ultimately, the Klowns commandeer the band's instruments and toss them in a cell. Last to be locked up is Phillips himself, who asks the others: "So...What're you in for?"
