Camel Hunting Season (no Peedi Crakk)

Let's talk best live performance scenes in movies ever. There's the Ramones concert medley in Rock 'N' Roll High School; the Beastie Boys doing Desperado in Tougher Than Leather; Digital Underground & 2Pac doing Same Song in Nothing But Trouble; Cro-Mags doing Hard Times in The Beat; and my own personal favourite L7 as Camel Lips cranking out Gas Chamber in John Waters' masterpiece Serial Mom.


What the Gas Chamber performance has over the rest is that it features Donita Sparks and Jennifer Finch wearing prosthetic vulvas as they help Kathleen Turner light Justin Whalin's arse up like a Christmas tree. Any old musicians can perform a song in a movie, only L7 have ever performed a song in a movie while helping the movie's villain commit murder by pyromania. DEATH IN STEREO!
