My sister-in-law made me listen to them just the other day. I had never heard of them before. It's some funny shit. Some of their lyrics would make Snoop Dogg blush.

I should take a picture and upload it here to show everybody. But when I was in Tokyo, I picked up a TV Guide there (tradition to buy foreign TV Guides...don't ask), and it was what I'm assuming a metal issue. It had Judas Priest on the cover and such. But anyway, I was scanning it even though I couldn't read or understand a single thing in there when I was a page that had a bunch of bands along the lines of Bon Jovi, Judas Priest and others. Under each band was a couple lines, in English and Japanese of some love songs. I couldn't believe it when Steel Panther was one of the bands, and what lines do they put in? None other then, 'Cause my heart belongs to you, My love is pure and true, My heart belongs to you, But my cock is community property. That made me so happy, of all the bands in the world and love lyrics to put down, they used that.

At work I put the CD in a BOSE display and let it play all day. My friends and I took bets on how long it would take before a customer would get offended. Finally the BOSE rep came in to mess with the displays and finds the CD. Hilarity followed as we all played dumb and listened to him rant about customer service and stuff.

But no customers complained?
We used to burn CDs with really offensive music, or really annoying music, go to other towns where we weren't recognized and put them into display stereos at places like Walmart, Kmart, Target, Best Buy, etc, and see how long it would take before they would catch on and turn it off. Nothing beats "Love Shack" programmed to play 50 times in a row. I only wish I would have known about this band at that time.

customers at sams club are in such a hurry to get the EVERYDAY LOW PRICES OMG that they don't even stop to listen to the music unless they're thinking of buying the stereo.

For two of the three years I was there, the supermarket I worked at in high school had an ultra ghetto muzak system that used a cassette tape. It was in a locked cabinet, but the lock sucked. Neither the checkout manager or the store manager came in until 9, so a few of us always talked about switching the tape so that when management turned the system on, customers would be treated to the relaxing tunes of ICP. Sadly, none of us had the balls to actually do it.
Oh shit, this is the internet, I could lie to make the story better and none of you would ever know. We totally switched the tape with ICP, and it was awesome. In fact, that's why they got a better system. Also, it turns out that the song "Chicken Hunting" increases meat sales by 33%.
Haha. I use to work at a supermarket too. It was fun except during the holidays, then it sucked ass.

Me too! A great IGA store! They didn't even bother to lock up our music system, and we used to talk about doing the same thing as Syd, only not ICP specifically, just anything along those lines. I think it's a rule that all employees at grocery stores talk about doing that.
