Drat! I visited the thread half-hoping it was about the dolphin! But since I'm here, I looked up some more Flipper songs to form an impression.

It does sound like their music gives punk fans what they want, although "The Way of The World" made me laugh...I suppose it is all the screaming of the lyrics in that song. Here's what some people said about Flipper on Youtube:

Flipper fans say:

Flipper - The Way of the World. I like that the lead singer is wearing ear plugs! This is the song that makes me chuckle.




Flipper - Get Away
