You mentioned Coca-Cola as a spermicide. In the mid-1960s, the awesomely weird NYC band The Fugs recorded "Coca-Cola Douche", complete with fizzy sound effects. These guys, headed by Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, also recorded a track that remains one of my anthems to this day: "Wide Wide River", dedicated to LBJ, the MIC, and federal politics in general. I recall seeing The Fugs in a dive of a club in the Village late in 1969. Sanders opened the show by rising from a coffin onstage. Nobody ever accused The Fugs of promoting good taste.
