Critical Reception
Trouser Press wrote that "included on this fun (if less than inspired) release is a gimmicky remake of Jet Screamer’s Jetsons rockabilly classic 'Eep Opp Ork (Uh, Uh),' one more item in the Dickies’ ever-expanding catalog of daffy covers."[4]
Music Video
The video for "Killer Klowns" features the band performing in a penitentiary, with guards and inmates for an audience. Various clips from the movie are shown; Phillips and his bandmates interact with several of these. Ultimately, the Klowns commandeer the band's instruments and toss them in a cell. Last to be locked up is Phillips himself, who asks the others: "So...What're you in for?" [5]
