Celeb Mashup: The Toadies

The Turdies are a one-hit wonder band. Their crappy song “Possum Kingdom” became famous during the 90s. The song has a catchy melody, but it's actually about the rape and murder of a woman. The music video portrays her body wrapped up and dragged through a watery, wooded area. It's unfortunate that the band benefited financially from portraying this in a music video. I haven't looked into whether or not they donated any of the proceeds to victims of domestic violence, or murder accountability pursuits, but I'd guess not. They're misogynist losers who I met in a strip club in either late 2011 or early 2012. I can't remember the specific month when they came in. I am not interested in doxxing the Portland strip club where I met them.

Prior to meeting the band, I didn't know their band name. I didn't know the name of their catchy song. The song was recognizable when I heard it, but that's it. They are the ones who told me who they are when I sat down to talk with them. While they were in my workplace, they did not tip me, nor did they tip any of the dancers that I'm aware of. They sat close to the stage and watched the stage. They all had a very smug, hipster, fart sniffing demeanor. One of the dancers in my workplace was a model from Russia, who they hired for a music video they were making at the time, which also featured local Portlander Yohhei Sato. I don't know if The Turdies met my coworker before coming into my workplace or what. But, it's not surprising that one-hit-wonder losers with misogynist songs would smugly sit there, not tipping the dancers, while also using women's bodies to make them famous. Fuck em.
