History

Debut album

In 1992, Jackyl's self-titled debut album was released under Geffen Records and eventually went platinum. It features a song entitled "She Loves My Cock", which was omitted from edited versions, as were suggestive elements on the album's cover art. When a Kmart in Georgia refused to sell Jackyl, the band played an impromptu concert in front of the store. Footage of the event was used for the music video of their single "I Stand Alone".

Push Comes to Shove

Their second album released in 1994 is titled Push Comes to Shove. Also that year, the band appeared at Woodstock '94 in Saugerties, New York. The album contains the singles "Push Comes to Shove" and "Headed for Destruction".

Jackyl (album)

Jackyl is the eponymous debut album by the band Jackyl. It was released in November 1992 on Geffen.

Background

The record's clean issuance omits "She Loves My Cock." Likewise, on the cover art of edited versions, the "Parental Advisory" logo in the background is altered to say "Meaty bones beware of Jackyl."

    Curse On You

    by: Jackyl

    I'm reachin' out for you
    You know what I'm gonna do
    Use the power that's in my hands
    To make my wishes your ever command
    (Chorus)
    I put a curse on you, on you
    I put a curse on you
    I was born of bad blood
    A rare mixed breed
    With the eye of the devil
    And the demon seed
    (Chorus)
    And when the night falls you feel it creepin' up on ya
    That's when those creepy things go bump in the night
    And it's reachin' up around your back
    And it's pullin' you down
    (Chorus)
