I first learned about this video 16 years ago when a friend was potty training her son. Since then I have given it to many first-time moms and dads who have found it very helpful. My own granddaughter loved it when she was being potty trained and she had us all singing along while she sat on her potty. I highly recommend it to everyone involved in potty training a child.

turbonegro rocks, this album was great, except...... epitaph has not included my favorite song "screwed and tattooed" on their re-release! there's something missing from this version of ass cobra.... the complete playlist. don't settle for this big mac of releases, get the original!

My daughter Jessie loved this video! She would try to sing along and would sit on her potty to watch it and "read" along in the book. The music was fun and the video captivated her interest. Watching the other children in the video be happy about going potty made her want to try. Eventually she was excited to go to the potty and would sing the "Potty Song". It was helpful to be able to refer to the character in the video when talking with her.

J-Abs was chillin one day with Gene Garber wearin his throwback 1987 Braves jersey and Garbs asked me if I had ever heard of Ass Cobra by Turbonegro. I told him I had not but with a name like that I was definately interested. So we headed to the North Platte state fair and they were the headlining act. People were actually booing Loverboy trying to get them off the stage so we could get to some real tunage. So when they opened with Mobile Home the house erupted. This had to be the best show I have seen since well Grim Reaper in 83. The drummer was mad cold kickin. For the finale they had this huge ass cobra come out of the amp and hiss at everyone telling them that they rocked and too bring on the Black Mamba cuz he would kick his butt. Afterwards J-Abs was so impressed that he followed their tour from North Platte to Des Moines to Council Bluffs to Mexico. If you ever get a chance to see this band live do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be as cool as me and Garbs but you may hit the coolness radar screen finally.

Ok, I know that by now TurboNegro has gotten played on MTV, what with Bam and the Wild Boys. But dear God! Finally something that hasn't been worked over by the [...] that turns out most of what we get exposed to these days.

These tracks come at you nice and hard, but with a surprising melodic undertone that sneaks itself in there. Until I picked this up, I was on the verge of dismay that all we were left with in this world was either puke-inducing emo or the nonsensical teeny-crunch of [...] like slipknot.

I haven't picked up Apocalypse Dudes yet, but I'm going to. I'd just say that if you want to try something out that will definitely kick your ass without making you feel like a 13-year old trying to annoy your parents, check Ass Cobra out.

Every man, woman, and child owns this album. Well they don't, but they definately should. This album is great even before you listen to it- when scratched and sniffed, it smells of pine! Then comes the music...if you don't like sailor men and power lines and lethal Scandinavian punk rock, I think Engelbert Humperdinck has a new album coming out. Maybe after you buy it you can go see the Adam Sandler movie at the movie theater. Otherwisley, get Ass Cobra!! Then get Scandinavian leather!

In my opionion this is the best album by TRBNGR, it's hard and ruff. You can keep this cd in your cd player and just let it ride. Every track on here is short and sweet and will leave you wanting to hear it again and again. AD is ok if you like a little more glamed up sound but if you want it hard get this album. Buy it now and thank me later!!

I first heard of TN last summer when I saw a poster at the Southside festival in Tubingen. I thought "hmm, interesting." Just under a year later they played a club in D.C. & I thought "any band calling themselves Turbonegro has got to be worth checking out." So I went having never heard or seen them. Absolutely one of the hardest shows I've been to, with buckets of blood even. I played the back of the hall and observed. At a show like this you just know someone's going to get stomped out. Sure enough about half-way through their set, a victimization. I'm thinking he was a poser who went for the scene, when he should have just went for the tunes and played the back like me. Oh, well, some young punks got to learn the hard way.

I left the show that night amazed how they moved the crowd on (...),' & it wasn't long after that I got Ass Cobra & it didn't disappoint. I use to think that Iggy & the Stooges had the hardest play list ever. Now I know its these dudes.

8/20
I finally accept that Bad Mongo IS the hardest song I've heard laid down (use to b "Pay to Cum" by Bad Brains (the '82 ROIR one)). Vocally, these dudes just stay on top of the track like you'd expect TN's hardest song. Like some other dude said, if you don't know TN, you suck!

I saw TN on their 1st of 2 nights at the House of Blues. A real clean show, Hank came out in a white floor-length fur cape, awesome. I must be a bad*ss because I got kicked out. Apparently HOB were being real fascists that night, kicking people out left and right. TN played maybe 30minutes but I respect them for it. Why should they play a long set at a venue that's kicking their fans out, while the remaining 'goodies' make the owners rich off drinks?

...in the world! Apocalypse Dudes is a masterpiece and it's one of the finest recorded moments in rock and roll history, but my favorite Turbonegro record, by far, is Ass Cobra. The energy is explosive, the songs are fast, loud, angry and agressive. It blows me away every time I put it on the turntable. Some highlights include: a cover of The Lewd's Mobile Home, Denim Demon and Midnight NAMBLA. This is the greatest punk rock and roll album of the last ten years. Plenty of offensive lyrics and song titles as well. It's a guaranteed good time. Start your Turbonegro collection today, before MTV and their legion of morons catch on and ruin the whole thing.

My daughter loves both the book and video, which we rented from the library. She cried when we had to return the video! I had to buy it for her! It is a great reinforcement for an excellent book.
