The Queers play a Ramones style of pop punk with songs about girls and beer. King has often collaborated with Ben Weasel, from Screeching Weasel. The band begun with a notoriety primarily in their own backyard, but with the release of Love Songs for the Retarded, recorded by legendary punk producer Mass Giorgini, their following grew to international proportions. They have collaborated with Mass Giorgini several times since.
Along with his casual acquaintance Ben Weasel, Joe King has criticized the re-emergence of the street punk scene and what he sees as the glorification of violence and class warfare by certain bands. The song, "Little Rich Working Class Oi Boy" from the album Beyond the Valley of the Assfuckers takes aim at the working class pretensions and bellicose attitudes of some members of the Oi! scene. In a 2005 post to The Queers official website, King criticizes the effect of Boston punk band, the Dropkick Murphys. Writes King, "With all this stupid fucking Irish/Dropkick BS these days the whole punk scene (what's left of it) is full of assholes that just wanna fight."
I Can't Stop Farting
The Queers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now a funny smell is eminating from my rear
My girlfriend tries to hold her nose and falls into a swoon
I got a problem and I don't know what to do
HELP!
I can't stop farting (4x)
My flatulant ass sounds like 27 ducks
I sit and try to take a shit outta luck
I got a problem and I don't know what to do
HELP!
I can't stop farting

Seen these guys three times, with last summer being the latest. Shouting along with this song's lyrics live is truly a fantastic experience.
Don’t Tread On Me
They are amazing live are they not!?!?

@Don’t Tread On Me Their shows rock - it's a barrage of funny, energetic, and catchy-as-hell tunes with few pauses in between, just like any Ramones-inspired band should perform.

I’ve seen them more than any other band. Probably around 5 times. Haha

I googled, "I can't stop farting" because I literally can't stop farting (Del Taco, man) and I stumbled upon this gem.

Same here, 7 years later. I didn't eat anything that would cause mine though. Like, small releases of gas more so than quality farts. Its annoying and even worse, I gotta push for each one unless I wanna sit there and awkwardly feel the fart just chillin at the door. But then 10 seconds later the next in line shows up. Its like the line at the club. Sometimes I'll make them wait, cant destroy too much ozone at once, ya know? God, i'm awkward as fuck.
