This post has breached containment in the weirdest way. I am sorry to all of the people who are relaying their tragedies in the replies, but I would like everyone to know I was referencing the famous 90s rock song Detachable Penis (King Missile, 1992).
Tthat line is also in this Song. 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGM...
I thought he was referencing the Bosstones in the first post........
Same
He surely was.
I HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SONG IN YEARS!! LOL
They don't teach the classics in school anymore. 😞
You’re telling me you went further than elbow deep in the borderline?
I really like the part how he sees it on a blanket down at St. Marks, but it’s all dirty so he has to take it home and wash it off. 🤣
That's hilarious... Clearly, the world needs more therapists.
More accessible therapy*
I see what you did there
@eve6.bsky.social
If I had a dollar for every time somebody had a viral post related to Detachable Penis
Let’s be real. You’d just misplace your dollars and find them in the pocket of some guy selling stuff off a blanket.
Isn't that the Mighty Mighty Bosstone's "The Impression That I Get"? Or did they rip off King Missile?
Points deducted for misplaced apostrophe (no, not my lost copy of the Zappa album).
No, it's "1979" off the hit Smashing Pumpkins album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
You mean mighty mighty Bosstones?
I guess knock on wood threw him.
😬. But I mean group sharing is good.
I don’t know why I love that song but I do 😂😂

No no no, you’re all mixed up. This is clearly from “Three Little Pigs” (Green Jellö 1993)
I got a little friend, he's with me to the end. What does he say? I ask him for opinions and political decisions each and every day.
You're wrong it's actually their song Cheesecake Truck
people are on edge the intent of posts can easily distort through interpretation...
lol!!😆
Jeez I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve never had it happen to me but I know someone who has. It makes me wonder if I could. It makes me wonder if I
Detachable penis? That's not the impression that I get.
King Missile is as funny as it is heavy. It's dark comedy, a laughing at tragedy comedy.
2 for 2 on the references for me. Hope you keep it up
("Jesus Was Way Cool" is also an underrated classic)
The quoted lyric is not Detachable Penis by King Missile. It's The Impression That I Get from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones from 1997.
Yeah I heard this song on the Digimon World Movie Soundtrack! Got me into Detachable Penis.
well,
They wrote that song about a friend of mine who lost his penis and then found it for sale at the Saturday Market in downtown Portland. True story.
King Missile Dog Fly Religion!!
I played that song in a research lab I was working in back in 92’, and my boss came in and had a fit. It was hysterical. Thanks for bringing back that memory. 🤣🤣🤣
I fell for it and I remember that song! Deadpan hilarious.
Knock on wood amirite
Anyone else had an earworm from all this?
This is why Redman is singing about being a 90s kid we wouldn’t have to explain this shit to others 90s kids
Even though sometimes it’s a pain in the ass…
Okay dammit... Somebody had to link to it!
I think I saw it for sale on Second Avenue down towards St. Mark's Place...
If you know St Marks I'll virtually fist bump you
It's a lyric reference to the song. Never been there! 😅
He wanted 22 dollars but I argued him down to 17
Mamoun’s is around there, which record store? Some good ones.
Not at a record store. I just saw it lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven.
But did you talk him down to seventeen?!
Yeah man. I saved 5 bucks...
plugs help with that
You win, AG 😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It is strange how often I’ve thought of that song in the last year, when I hadn’t thought about it much since the year it came out. Well played.
Dude I don't remember that part. I only remember "I woke up today with a bad hangover and my penis was missing again. This happens all the time, it's detachable." - one of the songs that cracked my egg, tbh.
Ohhh, yeah this is Mighty Mighty Bosstones, not King Missile!
I left my pain on a blanket in St Marks square
The least you can do is buymeacoffee.com or RandyLundFamilygofundme for asking about my devasting, non-FEMA housefire.
hehehe that was college back then - we loved it
You could have at least sent them to a good song, JFC.
Who remade the song King Missle or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones? open.spotify.com/track/3a3EDr...
You should have expected that, with that post
"I can rent it out when I don't need it" LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL!
Never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has.
This happens all the time
That is such a great song
Thanks now my brain is looping that background vocal singing “detachable peeenis”
Literally just introduced this song to my daughter today. Nada Surf to King Missile in one afternoon. Can’t believe it just played on KROQ while I was getting ready for bed 🤣
we've all made this exact same mistake, Tim *hugs*
Hm — is that the song with the chorus about how learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all?
Which is still a banger! I’ll see myself out.
That’s not the lyrics to that song…
I understood the reference, but it is because I saw it lying on a pillow in a flea market. :)
Under-appreciated song, love the part where he finds it at a flea market, may it have been used by someone else?
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested... I like to think that if I was I would pass.
Well it can't be that famous then, can it?
I love that song. Its hilarious
Thank you for reminding me of this song!!! It is going straight into my HS Playlist. lol…this is fucking great
I think the real lesson here is that it's important to use the correct punctuation in some lyrics. I hope we can all take that away knock on wood.
Great, now I have that song stuck in head
That’s the fucking Bosstones.
Love that song. Searching for it on Youtube now.
Famous is a relative term. Long gone are the days when you can count on most of the population recognizing the same pieces of music, tv series, etc
What song is that line from?
That was not the impression that I got. =/
I was wondering if anyone else felt the impression that I had gotten….
There just aren’t enough references to King Missile these days.
It’s because you didn’t knock on wood. At least, that’s the impression that I get.
Mighty Mighty Missile
Did you have a college radio show, Tim?
Not exactly but sort of reminds me of @lockedonjazz.bsky.social host David Locke doing a "Where are you listening" Segment where he got this classic and it went straight over his head! (PS. #LoveYourWork Locke!) Think you will like it.
I bet you forgot to Knock on wood before sending the post, right? Personally, I've never had to knock on wood But I know someone who has Which makes me wonder if I could
i’ve never had to knock in wood either, and i’m glad i haven’t yet. i’m sure it isn’t good
Yeah, That's the impression that I get!
I tried to knock on wood, but it was gone. It wasn't in the medicine chest where it usually is.
Detachable Penis is evergreen.
🤣Those lyrics are indelibly etched in my neurons, because that's one of the songs that was in hot rotation when I landed the morning DJ gig on Seattle alt-rock station KCMU-FM (now KEXP) in November 1992.
I thought this was a Mighty Mighty Bosstones lyric ("The Impression That I Get"). Did they "borrow" it from King Missile?
The lyrics were detachable.
"Dig Me I'm a Pygmy" a rather obscure song from 1980, by Dr. Goodfoot and the Toxic Sox.
I'm most sorry to find out Dicky Barrett is pro stupid.
Whatever dude. Next you’ll be telling us that you’re standing outside a broken phone booth with money in your hand.
onion tim
I love you
You ever look up an old friend to see what they’re up to nowadays? Don’t.
Too soon.
What if I told you Dickie has some strong feelings about chemtrails too. Would that help?
Yikes.
You can always trust those curbside sellers downtown to sell used books, toasters, and missing detachable penises.
I remember that video
Thanks bsky for opening my eyes to just how many opportunities there are to miss jokes. I had no idea.
Funny, then 3% funnier.
"Did I mention the cheesecake was very delicious?"
Such a banger.
Never had to (detach my dick) But I know someone who has. And he went on Howard Stern. The 90s were fucking weird.
I never knew what to make of that song, did I listen because I liked it, or was it so bad I can't stop listening?
definitely something that would make you knock on (detachable) wood.
Kiev!!!
Never had to detach wood And I'm glad I haven't yet Because I'm sure it isn't good That's the impression that I get
And I heard the lyrics of The Impression That I Get (Mighty, Mighty Boss Tones, 1997) Tee hee, oops?
The kids won't understand the majesty that was early 90's shimmy disc classics like that Can you work in a Bongwater reference next? youtu.be/byDiILrNbM4?...
My bad.....DP was after they moved to Atlantic which would have caused me to reject them as sell-outs....
I remember in middle school (so probably around 92) a guy in my class claimed that he heard a song on the radio in the middle of the night about someone with a detachable penis and NOBODY believed him
LMAO
I'm not sure if I should admit to knowing this song, very well. Thanks, KROQ & KQAK (R.I.P.)!
I recognized the lyrics right away ... and I'm old ...
Well, I've never had to knock on wood, but I know someone with a detachable punishment who has...
I know that song!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’d like to go to Scotland, please?
When you quote a Bosstones song thinking it's a King Missile song, things are bound to get weird.
Yes! youtu.be/NIGMUAMevH0?...
We must look elsewhere for answers.
? Thats "The impression that i get" The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
I drive a cheesecake truck.
Omg that song! It was my college girlfriends' & my road trip anthem 🤣
I fucking love this song. And if you didn’t get the reference, please watch the video because fuck this is a killer song. youtu.be/NIGMUAMevH0?...
No you're not that isn't true
Everyone should watch Beavis and Butthead watch this video, the one Tim is quoting ("Detachable Penis," 1992)
I once was losing my religion.
Tim, as a weido who graduated Boston University in 1994 and was a fan of King Missile from the days when they were playing little clubs in ill fitting plaid suits from the local Am-Vets thrift store in Alston, you are really stirring up some ghosts in my memories
*this post has been cited in the wikipedia page for "Context Collapse"*
I feel like a failure as a trans man for forgetting that song existed 🤣
I certainly have seems like most of America hasn't yet it's coming hey those who scream on about being a Christian and know what God is saying and that Trump is the new Messiah well real Christians don't need to talk about what they believe in nor do they force you to believe what they do
My first summer in nyc at just barely 17, outside of dance I somehow got hooked up with the graduating class of a certain upper west side private high school and began hanging out with them. Among them was John Hall. At this time he was performing on toy instruments Like Fisher Price stuff. memories
Which high school. I must know.
Robert Lewis Stevenson LoL
I'd found my people. A couple of those kids really influenced me and became life long friends.
nev er had to split that wood eh
Well, at least it wasn't that song that MAGA Dickie Barrett sang. Right?
That song. :)
I love King Missle & that song! As a woman, I've always thought having a detachable penis would be great. I could attach it any time I needed someone to hear me. Also... Jesus was way cool!
That song pops into my head at odd times and I get a strong urge to sing it, which is a problem, as I am an elementary school teacher.
defensible analogue.. detachable penenensss?
The song is out of date; now you can locate your detachable penis in Find My Devices.
GOLD!
Awesome reply!!
Only if you stay in their ecosystem, but the second you don’t stay on the iOS platform, your penis suddenly can’t be found
OPEN SOURCE THAT SHIT
Me on Github downloading an extension so I can listen to music on my penis:
😹
I airtagged my Prince Albert for just this reason.
most British schools do the same thing for our prince Andrew
But he's always in the can!
Or an airtag.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hear if you’ve got a PA, you can also attach a keyring Tile to it.
I think the value of this technology might be somewhat lost on the current generation not realizing inflation figures since 1992. The guy wanted $50 for the thing and let it go for about $38.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This post is Eris Approved!
My friends and I played the song last summer for a Gen Z. He was speechless about what we listened to on college radio back then. Speechless or maybe just polite.
😂😂😂
Don’t you mean the impression that I get?
This "f'g Guy worked in the music business in NYC during the 70's&80's for the company that signed Elton, Beatles, Hollies etc but have never heard of King Missile before today. So, thanks for this really weird note.
Welp. My bad 😬
famous?
I had the same thing happen when I was talking about the big bottom in my captain’s decanter and asked if anyone else had any experiences with the big bottoms. Needless to say I DID NOT expect those replies
That was the impression that I got.
Ope. I thought you were referencing Never Had to Knock on Wood
I recognised the lyrics immediately lmfao damn
This is nuts that you weren’t actually asking the question, yet the posts are some of the saddest and most moving things I’ve ever read. You actually did a really nice thing without meaning to, allowing people the space to share a vulnerable moment in their lives. Social media is some crazy thing.
It was very tragic when someone took a doodie in my sandbox.
The Impression That I Get g.co/kgs/hhb6tmZ
Have the tiktok kids found detachable penis yet?
I felt a pain so powerful that I collapsed. It hit like lightning.
Reel Big fish I have had to knock on wood and I am sure that it was not Good.
Bosstones, not big fish
😅
I saw them live in Denver at least twenty years ago, and it was such a magical small show. He forgot the words to half of the songs and it just made the show better. Nothing quite like king missile.
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😭😭😭😭😭😭😭☠️
That was the impression that I got.
Chris Xefos! "Let me know if anything pops up.*
yeah, that's the impression I was getting
That’s not Detachable Penis.
That's a great song
Just went down on my knees in a Walmart parking lot
My baby had cancer. I collapsed. I feel the same way now at the collapse of my country and the futility of hoping some military leaders will do their jobs and protect us from the domestic terrorists.
its okay my first thought was about my late stepfather and i think he would find this very very funny. i also think he'd think i'm lame for never having used his passing to get out of going to work or anything but thats a separate thought
like i think he'd be like "really? not even once? all that and you dont even use it as an excuse to call into work??"
Have you checked in the bathroom cabinet?
once in a while, you see something that makes you realize that the poster is your long lost soulmate, and this would be one of those posts🤸🙏🏽
😂😂😂😂
That’s not the impression that I got.
lmao 😂 This was my brother & I’s fave song in college. We knew the words by heart. I heard it on my local alternative radio station 88.5 & recorded it. Later, I put it on a mixed tape which I shared with as many ppl as possible. A cult classic! youtu.be/u9avYXGsGUs?...
For decades I thought it was The Butthole Surfers and was about to write an “incensed” post. The ghost is put to rest. The penis is in its rightful place.
“MARTIN SCORSESE MAKES THE BEST FILMS!!!”
Such a fun song and it's funnier with the music video. My wife and I bring it up a few times a year and joke about it.
Talking about King Missle this day and age? May as well be talking about Gary and Melissa
Did you check the medicine cabinet?
Famous for being on the Meet the Deedles soundtrack
Truly one of the greatest songs of our generation.
Oh.
hell yeah
But you've really never had to knock on wood?
I'm waiting until you level up to Harm Farm's song Clams... That'll draw the responses...
This is from that knock on wood song from the early 2000s
I'm sure it isn't good.
I’ve got no knock on wood, but all this penis talk is strange
oh no
Guffaws
Didn’t they also write Take Stuff from Work? My mantra in every shitty office job I ever had

oh god people LOVE to trauma dump on this website, I made the mistake of posting the Mothers Day card I gave my mum where I'd scribbled out all the nice sentiments with a Sharpie and signed it "kind regards" and OOP I received stories of several strangers' bad mothers.
Trauma needs to be dumped somewhere and we seem to be short on safe receptacles. Not that *this* is a safe receptacle, mind you.
