Since The Dead Milkmen reunited in 2008, their latest single feels like the most classic Dead Milkmen song they've released. "Philadelphia Femdom" is a punk song with a sense of humor. If anything, the song celebrates the dominatrix lifestyle, and mentions that most of the people that seem to decry sex work are the ones who tend to seek out the services. Calling out the hypocrisy of politicians, religious leaders, etc. is a classic Dead Milkmen subject, and "Philadelphia Femdom" fits that perfectly. My favorite classic Dead Milkmen songs are the type that seem silly and fun while being biting social commentary, and this fits in perfectly.
You can watch the video for "Philadelphia Femdom" below. Quaker City Quiet Pills is due out June 9 on The Giving Groove, and is available for pre-order here. For more on The Dead Milkmen, check out their website.
