The Mullet - Unique Fashion Statement or Worst Haircut Ever?

[Susang]

Inspired by TrioTv's special documentary on the mullet, I give you the DU Mullet Poll!

[Ein]

1. 50/50

I voted bad. The majority of mullets I see are horrible. Some are passable, as in they look about as goofy as the current trend of jocks and mainstream kids to have short hair and gel just the front part up (not a good explanation, I know).

The vast majority of mullets are horrid, and the people most be out of touch with the semi-underground large movement of mullet ridicule.

"The Phantom Mullet" - Five Iron Frenzy

Cruisin' downtown in your Camaro,
REO Speedwagon on the stereo.
It's kind of catchy,Kind of a virus,
Cutting your hair like Billy Ray Cyrus.
You're probably bummed,You probably cried,
You're probably sad that the guy from Lynrd Skynrd died,
You're probably singing "oh, oh, oh",
All night long.

Chorus
Feel the power of the PHANTOM MULLET,
Tremble and cower from the PHANTOM MULLET,
White metal burn of the PHANTOM MULLET,
Combed straight or permed it's THE PHANTOM MULLET,
And you, cutting it short on top,
I want that for me.
Growing it long in the back,
So savage and so free.

Drop into first you're taking it slow,
You're such a rock-star,
You could never know.
I wish I was singing, "oh, oh, oh",
All night long.

2. The Missouri Compromise

Best. Description. Ever. of that haircut.

5. LOL

I'd never heard that one before. In Detroit (where I was born and raised) it was always called "hockey hair". Hockey being very popular there and all. :-)

3. Mullet, aka Hockey Hair

as seen on "the Final Sacrifice."

4. Ape Drape

Make it like that famous country singer
Or that guy I saw last night on Jerry Springer
Clean me up but let me keep my edge,
In the day i like to keep it dignified
But at night you know I got another side
And I don't give a damn,
Cause I am what I am
Even if it's really really bad.

I've got an Ape Drape,
Yes I do
They're givin' them to anyone,
And that means you
You can drive to Riverside and get one too
Then you'll have an Ape Drape like I do.

Go ahead and buzz 'round the ears
I've been growing that one braid back there for years
I've had it since the first time I saw Queensryche
The front may conform to society
But the back says I have personality
Even if it's really really,
Even if it's really really bad.

I've got an Ape Drape,
Yes I do
They're givin' them to anyone,
And that means you
You can drive to Riverside and get one too
Then you'll have an Ape Drape like I do.

Make it short in the front and long in the back!
If the top's not short enough that it stands up
I could be thrown out of the Bad Boy Club
But don't you lay a finger on my pony tail
Now fix my kid up so he looks like me,
And then matching crazy pants are all we need
Some may call it child abuse
I just call it bonding with your Dad.

9. In the words of the late Wesley Willis

Cut the Mullet

Do something about your long, filthy hair
It looks like a rat's nest
Do something about your mullet
Get out the hair clippers, jerk

Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet

Get the rat's nest off your head
Get that crazy-ass mother off your skull
Take your ass to the barber shop
Tell the barber that you're sick of looking like an asshole

Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet

The mullet is the reason why people hate you
They are sick of looking at your nappy weed-sack
Nobody wants to look at you with that mullet on your head
Why don't you cut that mullet, you numbskull

Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet

Rock over London, Rock on Chicago
Insure One, it's the insurance superstore

[Coffee Coyote]

17. a song for Wesley

Suicide Chump

You say there ain't no use in livin'
It's all a waste of time
'N you wanna throw your life away, well
People that's just fine
Go ahead on 'n get it over with then
Find you a bridge 'n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first
time
'Cause nothin's worse than a Suicide
Chump

You say there ain't no light a-shinin'
Through the bushes up ahead
'N we're all gonna be so sorry
When we find out you are dead
Go head on and get it over with then
Find you a bridge 'n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first
time
'Cause nothin's worse than a Suicide
Chump

Now maybe you're scared of jumpin'
'N poison makes you sick
'N you want a little attention
'N you need it pretty quick
Don't wanna mess your face up
Or we won't know if it's you
Aw there's just so much to worry about
Now what you gonna do?

Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then

You're on the bridge;
Scared to leap,
But a girl walks over
To take a peep...
She says: *"DON'T DO IT!"*
But wouldn't you know...
The girl got a head
Like a buffalo
With a little red hair
All over the top
An' her breath would make the
Traffic stop
She says *"I LOVE YOU...*
*BUT FIRST, LET'S EAT!"*

10. This had to be the worst mullet of all time

Greatfully he finally cut it a few years ago. I love hockey, but that thing was just nasty looking under a hockey helmet. Probably why I was never a Jagr fan.

11. Joe Dirt!

In order to truly understand mullets and the people who wear them, one must watch the film, Joe Dirt. Unfairly passed up by the academy, this edgy little piece of cinema provides a poingant glimpse into the life and times of a typical mullet-head. You owe it to yourself to experience this movie and immerse yourself in the world of an American subculture that is often misunderstood. Truly, in a hundred years, filmographers will look back on Joe Dirt as one of the great unappreciated works of art of our times.




Excerpt from film: "I'm your sister! I'm your sister!"

[LynneSin]

12. Life's a garden, dig it?

I love Joe Dirt. Sure, it's not exactly the Shawshank Redemption here, but I laughed my ass off watching that movie!!!

Keep on Keepin on!!

[dawg]

13. I didn't like his new wig, though ...

I thought the mullet suited him better. (Now there's a sentence I never though I'd type)

[kmla]

14. That's pronounced "Deer-tay"!

[TXlib]

15. Mullets make you look like an asshole.

[Coffee Coyote]

18. I saw in last week's PARADE

A dumb rag, but I admit I scan through it - and learned that even Billy Ray cut off his mullet.

Folks, if even Billy Ray Cyrus knows his mullet had to go... can others be far behind??

[Boudicea]

19. Nashville Sounds (AAA baseball, I think) had Mullet Mondays

If you let them cut off the mullet you'd get a free season pass.

[JVS]

20. The mullet is fashion rebellion in its truest form

A middle finger in the face of convention. A bold declaration of "I know it looks bad, fuck you" As impetuous as the leisure suit.
God preserve the mullet!
