The Music
The Hee Haw EP represents a musical departure from the relatively conventional punk/pop songs on Door Door. The EP introduces a more abrasive, rhythmic and exploratory sound that was further developed when the band re-located to the UK (and changed their name to The Birthday Party).
Two of the songs on the EP, "The Red Clock" and "The Hair Shirt," the former sung by Rowland S. Howard and the latter by Nick Cave, were included on the Birthday Party's self-titled album in 1980. The songs om the EP and The Birthday Party appeared on the 1988 compilation album, also titled Hee Haw.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“While the music is performed, the cameras linger savagely over the faces of the audience. What a bottomless chasm of vacuity they reveal! Those who flock round the Beatles, who scream themselves into hysteria, whose vacant faces flicker over the TV screen, are the least fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle, the failures . . .”
—Paul Johnson (b. 1928)
“Good music is very close to primitive language.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
