The Dum Dums This was a very strange punk-glam band that was started up by some friends of the guys who would later become Wax. One of these future Wax men was Tom Gardocki, who was playing in Bush with the two Pats. Via Tom, the two Pats made the aquantence of the Dum Dums. The Dum Dums included two guys named Bob and Von, who were later roomates of both Pats, Jason, and Karl at 1711 Stoner Ave in west LA.
The Dum Dums looked extremely "Sunset Strip" but sang very silly material. Their goal was to steal audience from the "real" sunset strip bands, by making fun of that glam metal music and style.
Early on, Both Pats and Matt Sharp would come out on stage at Dum Dums shows and play weird roles, like Matt and Pats "Fat Men" schtick, where they would wear huge clothes stuffed with pillows, and bounce around the stage.
After the Dum Dums lost a few members, Bob asked the two Pats to fill in as drummer and bass player, around the start of the summer of 1991. Pat and Pat would play numerous shows with them between summer 1991 and summer 1992.
At least one of these shows was videotaped, but i dont think either Pat was involved in any demo or practice recording with the group.
(a demo tape exists, but this was recorded before either Pat was involved)

"THE Dum Dums are an old, old style punk band with a hilarious dorky image."
-Rock City News 1991
"Watching The Dum Dums perform eliminates the need for hallucinogenic drugs of any sort for the rest of ones life. Their set is a frenitic, high speed, insane aggregation of fun."
-West Coast Forum 1990

Army Of Two
The Dum Dums Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fall into my arms, tonight, let the world around us fade
The rain will fall, our hearts will break
But still I will be here beside you, right beside you...
When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two
When the burdens of the world are on me
And people seem unkind
I just need to be beside you
You give me peace of mind
And when I fail to be everything
I tell you I will be
I know in your eyes I'll find
Forgiveness for me
The rain will fall, our hearts will break
But still I will be here beside you, right beside you...
When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two
When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two
Oh forgiveness and you give me completeness
In everything you do and I know when I'm lost in this desperate world, you're my refuge
I want to fall down at your feet
Walk beside you in the street, be proud that you
Are here with me, in front of everyone
When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two
When the world is against you
I will protect you
Darling we'll be an army of two
When your life's going wrong
Our love will be strong
Darling we'll be, an army of two
