The Girl from Ipanema Wants to Kill Me [Paperback]

Vinnie and the Stardusters (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1996

Put on your 3-D glasses (included) and bust a gut to the vaguely 3-D, headache-inducing comic of an Archie spoof of the Vinnie and the Stardusters' story. The kit includes trading cards and a 7 inch 45rpm of a spoof of Jobim's bossa nova classic and on the flip is the Radio K hit spoof of "Que Sera Sera" as "Quesadilla (a Tortilla with Cheez)." Already the single has gone tin! (more than 500 copies sold) And has been included on two (count them) compilations in Japan.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A+" -- Ben is Dead #28

"Vinnie and the Stardusters are freakin' hilarious. This 3-song 45 gave me chuckles galore." -- Cake #52/53

About the Author

Born in the ghetto of the South Side of Minneapolis, these three gutterpunks learned the laws of the street. While their mission of knocking on crackhouses to sing an a cappella version of their first hit "Huggin' not Druggin'" went sour when the Minneapolis Police threw them in the can for trespassing.

In prison, the three "honkeys" learned all about jailhouse rock. As soon as they got out of the big house, bigtime record execs were dying to put their groovy hip-hop rhythms down and out to the world. Now the Stard"sters flaunt their success with large clocks around their necks. They may lack liberal arts, but they got that street smarts!
