Line notes on back sleeve:
"It's a well-reported fact that The Happy Kids sneer at true musicianship. They are neither willing to compose, nor to play their instruments properly. Accordingly, at their live shows, they celebrate mass to plagiarizing whatever primitive ditty captures their attention. Ana Threat and Al Bird Dirt mangle their second-hand, second-rate equipment (a cheap, deranged Italian combo-organ and an off-key German Kaufhaus-guitar) accompanied by an audio cassette player that spits out pre-recorded beats at an inappropriate speed and volume.
Yet, here it is: 'The Happy Kids Play Their Own Songs'; twelve tunes out of which the duo claims the authorship of nine. The oeuvre perhaps wins through its repetitiveness (to put it mildly), which I presume Mr. Dirt and Ms. Threat understand is 'art'.
Frankly, I do not know how they managed to assemble and record an entire album; let alone to persuade a prestigious record company – or even a third-rate pressing plant – to have it manufactured. Plus, I must admit, I am not exactly sure who on earth the producers expect to buy such a record. Still, I am delighted to file the album in my vast collection of contemporary 'Rock music', as I am definite that there won't be any one like it to follow. Ever."
