Straw Dogs were a great Boston based punk band, formerly the F.U.'s. This song is briefly used in the movie Return of the Living Dead. And if punk and zombies don't mix, what does?
THANK YOU! For keeping this alive. First heard this in 1987? on a compilation album from Restless Records (now defunct) with a lot of other good music. Restless Variations was the name of the tape. No longer available, unfortunately.
This might be their most well known song, don’t miss the reformed STRAW DOGS when they get together for one more night with some special friends to celebrate the music and memories of a very special time in the Boston music scene! All Ages show on Friday night, July 20th 2018 at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge MA, be there!
@rblaid Thanks for the clarification on that. It was really odd because I watched the movie when it came out, and I was into the Straw Dogs right around the same time, but I didn't remember the song being in the movie. When I watched the movie again a couple years ago I thought I had somehow just not noticed it or forgotten it. Now I know my memory is ok and that it wasn't there originally. :)
Introverted Demon I wanna say it wasn’t on the soundtrack originally cause this song was used when the vhs version was converted to dvd. It wasn’t on the original movie.
@deliberatestranger83 It was actually initially added to the film in 1991 when Hemdale Video couldn't re-secure rights to The Damned's Dead Beat Dance. They added only the laughter from DBD to the DVD in 2002.
Yeah, Straw Dogs were F.U.'s. There's another band with the same name (Strawdogs) I think. Loved these guys in the 80's and love 'em today. Would love to hear anything anyone's got by them.
Return Of The Living Dead had some crazy good music in it.
RIP Mark Venturini.
"where da fuck are we going anyway?" "TO PARTY"

Straw Dogs = Sonic punch in the face!
Best chorus ever.........and the guitars are crunchy.
I'm still surprised this was not on the soundtrack! Awesome punk tune!!
