Michael and Spider tell all.... Please don't call PETA! Just for the record we don't hate dogs. In fact we have a dog that is the love of our lives. The song I Hate Dogs was meant to be a joke from the very beginning. One day back in 1979 we decided to compose the worst punk rock song ever. We came up with a distasteful theme (hating dogs) thus writing the lamest lyrics we could think up. Again I repeat myself, it was meant to be a bad joke. It turns out the joke was on us as ... I Hate Dogs became Hey Taxi's most popular and most requested song! On the B-side - War Is Hell - a song about the absurdity of war. Queen Bee was inspired by an old Joan Crawford movie.
