The goofy Manic Hispanic are back with a collection of Mexican covers with comedic lyrics thrown in where they see fit. Manic Hispanic are made up of members from Cadillac Tramps, Adolescents, and the Grabbers and MH is their way of letting off a bit of their steam. The Clash take the biggest hit here with “White man in Hammersmith Palais� tortured into the “Brown Man in O.C. Jail� and “I’m so bored with the USA� ends up being a shot at a girl in “Bored with you Esse�. Rancid takes it in the chin as well with the latino “Rudy Cholo�. And one of the most creative parodies on here is Offsprings’ “Come out and play� (“Get the immigrated�). “Mexican Tar� is a brilliant parody of Johnny Thunders (Ramones) “Chinese Rock�. Manic Hispanic will appeal to fans of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes with their humor and fun.
