The Maggots Let’s Get Tammy Wynette E.P. 7″
The Maggots – Lets Get Lets Get Tammy Wynette!!!
A little more about one of my favorite new wave punk records via The Punk Vault:
“yes the original maggots did put out an apparently highly collectable record in 1980 called “lets get, lets get, tammy wynette!!!” a song i wrote from the kidnappers point of view, after a bizarre “kidnapping” incident in the late 70s (later found to be an elaborate hoax concocted by tammy to cover up for her abusive husband kicking her ass…) no wonder she was pissed when this guy i knew asked her to sign a copy of it at an autograph session at marriots great america amusement park…she actually threw his record and started screaming, and they escorted him out, sans autograph….it is now being re-issued by the portland based discourage rock & roll, who have made up quite a nice collectable package to go with it, a nice book, original demo versions, all on good old fashioned vynil just like granpa used to make em…”
This one shows up on ebay quite a bit and is a favorite with the infamous and brilliant Killed By Death Records site.

I listen to this at work! Fun and catchy.
” a song i wrote from the kidnappers point of view”
This was written by you, jockohomo?
Or did I misunderstand?
I did not write the song, it’s written by a member of the group The Maggots. I’m quoting from a comment left by one of the band members on the Punk Vault site. Sorry if that was unclear.
lol. It’s not inconceivable that you could have written it, though. Not too many guys with your scope of interests. And amazin calves too! Thanks for posting it.
Heh Heh Thanks Bud!
