SCOTS @allmusic: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg...1:vaivad8kv8w5
True to their name, North Carolina's Southern Culture on the Skids offers an affectionate parody of local white-trash trailer-park culture, matching their skewed outlook with a wild, careening brand of rock & roll. SCOTS' music is a quintessentially Southern-fried amalgam of rockabilly, boogie, country, blues, swamp pop, and chitlin circuit R&B, plus a liberal dose of California surf guitar, a hint of punk attitude, and the occasional mariachi horns. Following an early incarnation as a relatively straightforward roots rock outfit, they morphed into a raucous, sleazy, tongue-in-cheek party band obsessed with sex and food; in fact, fried chicken became a crucial part of their live performances, whether it was used in eating contests or tossed into the audience.

Song Title Time (with Amazon.com samples)
1. Shotgun 3:19
2. Earthmover 3:04
3. Dance For Me 2:27
4. Banana Puddin' 4:48
5. 40 Miles To Vegas 4:03
6. Love-A-Rama 2:07
7. Deja Varoom 2:26
8. Country Funk 3:21
9. Strangest Ways 3:58
10. Theme From "The Cheaters" 3:05
11. House Of Bamboo 3:03
12. Carve That Possum17:18

I'd never heard of this band until they performed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in '97 for this album. But wow, what a treat. Fine musicianship, a rocking fun spirit, and a stage act that could be described as a cross between the B-52s and Cheap Trick. I wish I could upload a video of this performance now, but maybe someday when I get the hardware setup to do so. In the meantime, here are a couple of live performances from Youtube.
