All incarnations featured Jeff Pezzati on vocals. Members over time include Jim Colao and Eric Spicer on drums, Pierre Kezdy and Camilio Gonzalez on bass, and Santiago Durango. John Haggerty, and Bill Stephans on guitar. Naked Raygun began as a noisy, free-form artist, often trading members with Big Black but later sharpened into a hard pop outfit in a league with the Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, and The Jam.

The Misfits were known for their sing-along "Whoa-oh-oh" choruses after the 1982 "Walk Among Us" LP -- and although Naked Raygun are often cited as having been influenced by The Misfits in this regard, the reverse is the case.

Haggerty and Kezdy would later join with Larry Damore of the Bhopal Stiffs to form Pegboy. Pezzati fronted The Bomb. A reunion in the late 90s produced the live album Free Shit!. The band reunited for Riot Fest 2006 on November 5, 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, and is playing a west coast tour in December, 2007.

I Don't Mind
Naked Raygun Lyrics

Listen now to what I say
About the kids of today
Subscribe to them all your fears
'Til they become like you

What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

So listen now to what I say
About the kids of today
Subscribe to them all your fears
'Til they become like you
Teach them all your fallacies
Contain them in reality
Subscribe to them all your fears
'Til they become like you
Then a slippage happens in your ranks
And causes all your morals sank
For us to create our own
And we became like you

What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make
What poor gods we do make

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
