Mentors (band)
The Mentors are an American heavy metal band, noted for their deliberately sexist shock rock lyrics.
They formed in May 1976 in Seattle, Washington and relocated to Los Angeles, California in 1979, where their irreverent attitude aligned them with the city's punk rock scene. Their music has developed stylistically over the years from garage metal to hardcore punk to experimental thrash metal. They bill themselves as the inventors of "rape rock," essentially an early, 1970s-style heavy metal and punk rock fusion with extremely chauvinistic and perverse lyrics about degrading and degenerating women.
Although they garnered attention both from noted hard rock acts and pro-censorship movements such as the Parents Music Resource Center, the high-profile death of drummer and lead singer Eldon Hoke ("El Duce") in 1997 brought them unprecedented attention. They remain active with a retooled line-up.
History
Founding members Hoke, Eric Carlson ("Sickie Wifebeater"; guitar) and Steve Broy ("Dr. Heathen Scum"; bass) attended Roosevelt High School together in Seattle, and began experimenting together with crude punk and primitive heavy metal. Upon formation, The Mentors began to tour the Northwest, playing shows with their trademark executioner hoods and bawdy lyrics. Broy was in and out of the band during its early career due to his preoccupation with pursuing a degree in engineering. Other bassists from this era include Jeff Dahl, Chris Jacobsen (Jack Shit), and Mike Dewey (Heathen Scum Wezda).

Shocked And Grossed
by: The MentorsShocked & grossed, shocked & grossed
I´m Shocked & grossed
Shocked & grossed, shocked & grossed
Shoked again
Shocked & grossed, shocked & grossed
I´m throughly shocked
Shocked & grossed, shocked & grossed
Shoked again
I´m Shocked & grossed to the max
I saw you the other night with a loser
And you wonder why I´m a boozer
I see you give these creeps some screws
And now you pack their name as tattoos
I´m shocked & grossed so throughly to the max
Because I´m shocked & grossed to the max
I´m shocked & grossed so throughly to the max
I´m shocked & grossed out to the max
Every guy I see you with are all monkeys
And your other lovers are freaks or junkies
And now you act like you don´t care
You got stringbeans and spaghetti for you hair
I´m shocked & grossed to the max
All over your face I see tons of zits
And to gross me out even more
She´s got hairy arm pits
You lost your looks and you lost your charms
You got needle tracks running down your arms
I´m shocked & grossed
