It\u2019s all about kids moving up into third grade, and moves along nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second track is <strong>The PTA Took My Mommy Away<\/strong>, their take on Ramones classic The KKK Took My Baby Away, and it\u2019s my favourite on this release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lyric \u201cshe said she had meetings all day, then she was going to the PTA\u201d actually made no laugh out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rounding things off, as seems traditional with these ladies, is a straightforward cover of <strong>Beat On The Brat<\/strong>, and they do it justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that they\u2019ve been recording new material for a debut LP to follow in the spring of 2020. Hey ho, let\u2019s go! <strong>7\/10.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGLE REVIEW: Ramoms \u2013 Teacher\u2019s Pet (Pirates Press
