The first release was a collection of songs by themselves and two other bands - The Libertines (Australian band) and Limebunny. The three groups weren't completely separate - there was some overlap between members.
Machine Gun Fellatio's first well known track was Isaac or Fuzz, a song made of parts of a voice message left at a recording studio, put to a fast dance beat.
They remained quiet until 1999 when they released Mutha Fukka on a Motorcycle, and Unsent Letter. By this stage the band comprised seven members.
In 2002 they played the Big Day Out festivals, and have since played at many others, including Homebake, Livid and Gone South.
Their album Paging Mr. Strike was released in 2002 and was a big turning point for the band. By this time they were very popular on Triple J and also started to receive some airplay on other stations, with Rollercoaster being one of their more commercial friendly tracks. In 2003 the album was re-released with 2nd CD of remixes and rare tracks.
The group caused some controversy for their wild performances, which often involved both male and female nudity, light bondage gear and implied sexual intercourse with their instruments. After a Student Union organised performance at the University of Melbourne, fellow Victorian universities RMIT University and Swinburne University of Technology cancelled their scheduled performances because of the band's lewd behaviour at Melbourne University. This didn't stop universities in New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania allowing the band to perform on their campuses, and didn't stop Melbourne University hiring the band again the following year.
2005 saw their break-up and band members moving onto other projects and other cities. In 2006, Pinky's new band The White Russians formed. Loveshark has created the 'Stoner Funk Orchestra', gigs around Sydney and has plans for world domination. Failing that, a tour of Australia, bringing his eclectic rock/groove/funk/pop mix to the masses. He also has a side project, The Space Cowboys with MGF bassist 3k Short. Drummer Bryan Ferrysexual has also formed a band of his own - Super Massive. Previously, he created and performed with The Bryan Ferrysexual Experience.

SUMMER
Machine Gun Fellatio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's got a friend in me
He's a bit hung up on God
But we've agreed to disagree
Sometimes when I'm feeling frisky
I call you up a t home
One time when your boyfriend answered
I pretended I was selling mobiles
I'm loving your summer scene
I'm digging this summer sound
I'd have everything I need
If you could come on around
I'm digging this summer scene
I'm loving your summer sound
And I would show you what I mean
If you were here with me now
I could be taller tighter
Tanned more than I am
It would take a lot more cash
For me to be your money man
But sunshine doesn't justify itself
To the moon, I've seen the stars and baby
They're whistling my tunes
I'm loving your summer scene
I'm digging this summer sound
I'd have everything I need
If your coming around
I'm digging this summer scene
I'm in love with your summer sound
I'll take you places you've never been
This is my town, baby
You're all I need to see me right
I'm loving your summer scene
I'm digging your summer sound
And I got everything I need
'Cause your coming around
I'm digging this summer scene
I'm in love with your summer sound
I can promise you'll never leave
When you see what I've found
I'm loving your summer scene
I'm digging this summer sound
I'd got everything I need
Now you've come around
I'm digging this summer scene
I'm loving your summer sound
I got everything I need
'Cause you're here with me now

I got a friend in Jesus
I have a strong faith in Jesus
He's got a friend in me
Jesus is always with me
He's a bit hung up on God
I'm still exploring my relationship with God
But we've agreed to disagree
Jesus and I have our differences, but we respect each other's beliefs
Sometimes when I'm feeling frisky
When I'm in a playful mood
I call you up at home
I reach out to you at your personal place
One time when your boyfriend answered
Once, another person answered the phone and it happened to be your boyfriend
I pretended I was selling mobiles
I acted like a mobile phone salesman to avoid a potentially awkward situation
I'm loving your summer scene
I am enjoying the vibe and atmosphere of this season
I'm digging this summer sound
I'm really into the music that's popular right now
I'd have everything I need
If you were here with me now, I would be completely satisfied
If you could come on around
If you could hang out with me
And I would show you what I mean
I would demonstrate how much I like being with you
I could be taller, tighter
I could improve my appearance to impress you
Tanned more than I am
I could have a better tan
It would take a lot more cash
It would cost a lot of money
For me to be your money man
To be the one to support you financially
But sunshine doesn't justify itself to the moon
I don't need to prove myself to anyone
I've seen the stars and baby
I've accomplished amazing things
They're whistling my tunes
People are admiring and praising my work
I'm in love with your summer sound
I'm deeply infatuated with your music taste
I'll take you places you've never been
I'd love to share new experiences with you
This is my town, baby
I know this place like the back of my hand
You're all I need to see me right
Just being with you is enough to bring me happiness
And I got everything I need
I'm content and fulfilled now that you're with me
Now you've come around
Since you're here now
I can promise you'll never leave
I guarantee you won't want to leave
When you see what I've found
I'm excited for you to see everything I love about this place and our relationship
