The Connie Dungs were an American punk rock band from Ashland, Kentucky, formed in 1994. The core of the group is composed of Brandon Tussey and brothers Chris Griffith and Wayne Griffith.
The Connie Dungs are a poppy snotty punk band similar in style to The Ramones and, later, Jawbreaker. They existed as an active band from 1994–2000, taking part in over 20 releases during that time. The Dungs gained some degree of prominence in the American underground punk scene based on sporadic concerts around the middle U.S. including Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
In 1994, the Connie Dungs began performing at local shows for friends and punk fans in Eastern Kentucky. During this early period they recorded and released two cassette-tape demos (Songs for Swinging Lovers and Nice Guys Finish Last) which were sold exclusively at shows. Both Songs for Swinging Lovers and Nice Guys Finish Last were later collected on one album, Songs for Swinging Nice Guys, released in 1999 on Mutant Pop Records.
I was there and you were, too
I was like a stupid kid in sunday school
I hated where I was I didn't want to go back
And then I heard your voice say relax
Because I was too cruel
As you were too cruel too
And I was bleeding on the ground
And you were nowhere to be found
I was there and you were too
We were making lots of waves in the swimming pool
We were baking in the sun
Naked flat on our backs
And then you cut me up with your axe
You were in my underwear
And I was really unaware
Of how you really felt inside
And then I spoke the words that made you cry
I was there and you were too
I was lying next to you and then I started to drool
I don't mean it but I treat you like a piece of meat
