"Egg Raid On Mojo"
[
edit
]
This is one of the few
hardcore punk
songs that the band continued to play in later years. Liner notes from the anthology
The Sounds of Science
state that the song is based on an event where members of the band were denied entry to a club by a
bouncer
, later returning, dressed in black, to pelt the offender with eggs. Some of the lyrics, such as "We dressed all in black" were reused in the
Paul's Boutique
song "
Egg Man
".
The
Some Old Bullshit
compilation includes an alternate version taped from
Tim Sommer
's
Noise The Show
radio program. Two tracks from
Polly Wog Stew
also appeared on the 1982
ROIR
cassette compilation
New York Thrash
.
