A few notes -- NKITLHOTL stands for "New Kids In The Last House On The Left," which of course was a parodic mix of the then-popular boy band "New Kids on the Block," and the early Wes Craven film "Last House on the Left." I think NKOTLHOTL was the only band in the contest that prominently, repeatedly and intelligibly used the required phrase "my pussy hurts when we fuck this hard" in its song lyrics. In our case, said lyrics, recited from a first-person point of view, described an illegal tryst between an angry boyfriend and his girlfriend's cat. The chorus went, "My pussy hurts when we fuck this hard/Hear the kitty-cat cryin' from the neighbor's yard/Nobody's gonna come break it up/'Cause they think it's me an' Sally just makin' up/Wah-Ooooooooh/Wah-Oooooooooh." Roll over, Cole Porter, and tell Bob Dylan the news! The music was largely written by me, and was a peppy rockabilly/metal cross, something I had always wanted to explore and something the world at large hasn't yet explored nearly enough, IMHO. Chris did a terrific job of annoying the audience, and surprising his own bandmates, by producing a stuffed toy cat that he had filled with a pasta 'n' sauce mixture via a hole in the toy's rear end. Chris simulated intercourse with the cat while enthusiatically pulling the pasta 'n' sauce mixture out and flinging it about. The contest voting process was askew, foreshadowing problems with Florida's 2000 presidential vote -- voters were supposed to vote for a first place, second place and third place band. As I recall, Paul Soto got the greatest number of first place votes, and NKITLHOTL got the most second-place votes. BUUUUUUT, second place ultimately went to the band with the greatest number of FIRST place votes -- I can't remember who that was, but I now have a congratulatory "get bent" message for them that transcends time and space. NKITLHOTL never played another gig. I think Andy, Dave and I practiced the song a couple of times before the gig, with me singing. Tom Nordlie
