Stukas Over Disneyland is the third studio album by punk rock band The Dickies, released in 1983.[3][4][5]
The album includes covers of The Quick's "Pretty Please Me" and Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown." The cover art illustrates the album's title by showing a Stuka dive bomber over the head of Mickey Mouse.
Critical reception
[edit]Reviewer Steve Spinali of Maximum Rocknroll commented positively on the original 1984 release with "The DICKIES' first vinyl in almost four years ranks up there near their previous funnypunk triumphs. Most of the eight songs here veer toward amphetamine pop, with irresistible layered choruses to boot, but the highlights include the poppish 'Rosemary,' 'She's a Hunchback,' and an incredibly fast cover of LED ZEP's 'Communication Breakdown.' Buoyant and entertaining as hell!"[6]
